Publication number: 20240185441Abstract: This application describes apparatuses and systems for rendering the Bokeh effect using stereo vision with edge computing. An example apparatus may include a first sensor and a second sensor. The first sensor is configured to: capture a first view of a scene. The second sensor is configured to: capture a second view of the scene, and send the second view of the scene to the first sensor. The first sensor is further configured to: receive the second view of the scene, compute a depth map of the scene based on the first view of the scene and the second view of the scene; and render Bokeh effect to an image of the scene based on the depth map.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2022Publication date: June 6, 2024Inventors: Zhaojian LI, Jiangtao PANG
