  • Publication number: 20240080564
    Abstract: Electronic devices, methods, and program storage devices for achieving smooth zooming operations during video capture are disclosed. In particular, smooth zooming may be desirable during video capture operations that involve a single image capture device and/or transitioning between two or more distinct image capture devices, e.g., having different optical and/or zooming properties, during the video capture. When video zooming is done abruptly, it can lead to an unpleasant user experience. The techniques described herein to improve the smoothness of zooming operations include: the use of longer zoom “ramps” for image capture devices; the “early” transitioning between image capture devices during video capture; and the performance of additional “digital zoom smoothing-aware” video image stabilization operations. The embodiments described herein also provide for a more consistent user experience between video streaming (i.e., “preview”) modes and the recorded (i.e.

  • Patent number: 11328446
    Abstract: Depths of one or more objects in a scene may be measured with enhanced accuracy through the use of a light-field camera and a depth sensor. The light-field camera may capture a light-field image of the scene. The depth sensor may capture depth sensor data of the scene. Light-field depth data may be extracted from the light-field image and used, in combination with the sensor depth data, to generate a depth map indicative of distance between the light-field camera and one or more objects in the scene. The depth sensor may be an active depth sensor that transmits electromagnetic energy toward the scene; the electromagnetic energy may be reflected off of the scene and detected by the active depth sensor. The active depth sensor may have a 360° field of view; accordingly, one or more mirrors may be used to direct the electromagnetic energy between the active depth sensor and the scene.

  • Patent number: 10275898
    Abstract: A combined video of a scene may be generated for applications such as virtual reality or augmented reality. In one method, a camera system may be oriented at a first orientation and used to capture first video of a first portion of the scene. The camera system may then be rotated to a second orientation and used to capture second video of a second portion of the scene that is offset from the first portion such that the first video and the second video each have an overlapping video portion depicting an overlapping portion of the scene in which the first portion and the second portion of the scene overlap with each other. The first and second portions may be combined together to generate the combined video, which may depict the first and second portions substantially without duplicative inclusion of the overlapping video portion.

  • Patent number: 7203880
    Abstract: A method generates test vectors for a customer designed integrated circuit having an embedded vendor circuit. The embedded vendor circuit has a proprietary circuit and a nonproprietary circuit. At least one pseudo input is defined to represent a portion of the nonproprietary circuit to emulate the nonproprietary circuit output. An output node of the embedded vendor circuit to which an input of the customer designed circuit is connectable is identified. A test netlist is created which represents circuitry that produces output states at the output node which would be generated by the embedded vendor circuit thereat. The test netlist includes at least one pseudo input and the output node, without including a full netlist of either the proprietary or nonproprietary circuits, and can be used to generate scan test vectors for the customer designed integrated circuit by the automatic test vector generating software program.
