Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a way of improving the stitching procedure. The object is achieved by a method in an electronic device for creating a combined image. The method comprises obtaining (701) a first set of at least two sub-images recorded by an array camera. The method further comprises obtaining (702) a second set of at least two sub-images recorded by the array camera. A first depth map is calculated for the first set of sub-images. The first depth map comprises information about a first plane of the sub-images and a second plane of the sub-images. The first plane being at a first distance from the point where the sub-images have been recorded, and the second plane being at a second distance from the point where the sub-images have been recorded. A second depth map is calculated for the second set of sub-images. The second depth map comprises information about the first plane and the second plane.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a way of displaying content of an obscured area of a view for a user. The object is achieved by a method in an electronic device. The electronic device obtains (402) an information identifying a position of the obscured area in relation to the view. The electronic device further calculates (403) an information identifying the position of the obscured area on a display. The electronic device obtains (404) an information regarding the content of the view or part of the view when not obscured from a memory. The electronic device creates (405) an image relating to the content of the obscured area of the view. The electronic device further displays (406) the image on a place on the display that corresponds to the calculated (403) position of the obscured area in relation to the display.

Abstract: Methods and devices (20) are provided which provide, for example capture with a camera (22, 23), at least one intermediate image of a scene. Colors of the at least one intermediate image are modified based on depth information (210, 28), and a final image is provided based on the at least one intermediate image with modified colors.

Abstract: One or more devices may receive, from a media presentation device worn by a user, sensory data comprising at least information describing orientation of the media presentation device. The one or more devices may also determine an approximate direction of a gaze of the user in a three dimensional audio space based on the information describing the orientation of the media presentation device, identify a sound source at which the user gazes based on the approximate direction of the gaze of the user in the three dimensional audio space, obtain audio data associated with the sound source based on an identity of the identified sound source, determine an action to perform on the audio data associated with the sound source, and perform the determined action.

Abstract: An apparatus and method generate a three-dimensional image by determining, using a light-field camera, a depth map corresponding to an environment. The depth map represents how light falls in the environment. The method also includes determining a parallax occlusion map of the environment and creating, using the depth map and the parallax occlusion map, a three-dimensional image representing the environment. In some embodiments, the method includes taking a first picture of the environment with a first flash intensity and a second picture of the environment with a greater second flash, determining differences between the first picture of the environment and the second picture of the environment, determining one or more properties of the environment based at least in part on the determined differences and dynamically re-lighting the three-dimensional image using the depth map, the parallax occlusion map, and one or more of the determined properties of the environment.

Abstract: A method and system for enhancing audio for a viewer watching digital video with sound, such as a movie or video game. The method and system determine where in the scene (40) the viewer's attention is focused, correlate the viewer's focal region with one of a plurality of regions (42a-d) of the video scene (40), preferably associated with a depth map, and enhance the sound corresponding to the focal region of the scene (40) as compared to the sound corresponding to the non-focal regions of the scene (40).

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a sound recording arrangement comprising a sound recording arrangement and a method in the sound recording arrangement for amplifying sounds in a primary gaze direction of the user of the sound recording arrangement. The method comprises the actions of recording sounds arriving at a sound recording unit from objects in the field of view of the user, and recording a first set of images of the head and/or the eyes of the user, and determining a primary gaze direction of the user based on the first set of images, and amplifying sounds arriving in the primary gaze direction compared to sounds arriving from other directions.

Abstract: Method and an electronic device for permitting use of program modules for an application program. The method comprises acquiring data content including at least one program module and identifying means associated with the program module. The electronic device includes identifying data for identifying a plurality of program interface modules. The method further comprises determining whether the identifying means is at least partly associated with the identifying data.
