  • Publication number: 20260079247
    Abstract: An electronic device may include a processor and wireless circuitry with transmit and receive antennas. Radar circuitry may use the transmit and receive antennas to perform spatial ranging on external objects farther than a threshold distance (e.g., 1-2 cm) from the transmit antenna. The wireless circuitry may include a voltage standing wave ration (VSWR) sensor coupled to the transmit antenna to detect the presence of objects within the threshold distance from the transmit antenna. This may serve to cover a blind spot for the radar circuitry near to the transmit antenna. The VSWR sensor may gather background VSWR measurements when other wireless performance metric data for the wireless circuitry is within a predetermined range of satisfactory values. The background VSWR measurements may be subtracted from real time VSWR measurements to perform accurate and robust ultra-short range object detection near to the transmit antenna.

  • Patent number: 12555193
    Abstract: This application provides an image processing method and an electronic device. The image processing method includes: acquiring a plurality of frames of original images; adding a reference coordinate image layer to a second field-of-view image; obtaining an image layer set according to a first field-of-view image, the second field-of-view image, and the reference coordinate image layer; processing, by using a deep learning network model, the image layer set to obtain a first enhanced image; and obtaining a second enhanced image according to the first enhanced image. In the method, since the added reference coordinate image layer reflects a mapping relationship between a field of view corresponding to the first field-of-view image and a field of view corresponding to the second field-of-view image, through the addition of the reference coordinate image layer, priori information can be added, so that different adjustments can be made subsequently according to different field-of-view relationships.

  • Patent number: 12526515
    Abstract: This application relates to the image processing field, and provides a method for image or video shooting and a related device. The method for image or video shooting includes: capturing images by using a first camera and a second camera based on the first zoom ratio and first lightness; processing the images captured, to obtain a shot image; and saving the shot image. In a photo mode in this application, by using a zoom ratio and lightness selected by a user, it is possible to determine to use the first camera and the second camera to capture images and perform processing. Therefore, different cameras can be used based on different lightness and zoom ratios to obtain images with different fields of view and different definition, and cooperative processing can be performed by using a plurality of cameras, to improve quality of a shot image obtained after the processing.
