Patent number: 12249092Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system accesses a set of 3D locations associated with features in an environment previously captured by a camera from a previous camera pose. The computing system determines a predicted camera pose using the previous camera pose and motion measurements generated using a motion sensor associated with the camera. The computing system projects the set of 3D locations toward the predicted camera pose and onto a 2D image plane associated with the camera. The computing system generates, based on the projected set of 3D locations on the 2D image plane, an activation map specifying a subset of the pixel sensors of the camera that are to be activated. The computing system instructs, using the activation map, the camera to activate the subset of pixel sensors to capture a new image of the environment. The computing system reads pixel values of the new image.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2021Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Amr Suleiman, Anastasios Mourikis, Armin Alaghi, Andrew Samuel Berkovich, Shlomo Alkalay, Muzaffer Kal, Vincent Lee, Richard Andrew Newcombe

Publication number: 20250070768Abstract: A method controls the duty cycle distortion of clock signals. An electronic device obtains an input clock signal and generates a first output voltage and a second output voltage from the input clock signal. The first output voltage has a first direct current (DC) voltage level indicating, in real time, a first duty cycle length of high voltage duty cycles of the input clock signal. The second output voltage has a second DC voltage level indicating, in real time, a second duty cycle length of low voltage duty cycles of the input clock signal. The difference between the first and second DC voltage levels corresponds to the duty cycle distortion level of the input clock signal. A duty cycle control signal is generated based on the difference between the first and second DC voltage levels to control the high voltage duty cycles of the input clock signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2024Publication date: February 27, 2025Inventors: YingFan LEE, Zhih-Ling LU, Andrew LEE, Xin JIN
