  • Publication number: 20240127401
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for depth sensing. For example, a method can include obtaining a first depth image of a scene. The first depth image of the scene is associated with a first illumination configuration including illuminating the scene with a first type of illumination. The method can include obtaining a second depth image of the scene, wherein the second depth image is associated with a second illumination configuration, different from the first illumination configuration. The second illumination configuration includes illuminating the scene with a second type of illumination. The method can include determining, based on the second depth image, multipath interference (MPI) associated with the first depth image. The method can further include generating based on determining the MPI associated with the first depth image an adjusted depth image including one or more pixels from the first depth image and one or more adjusted pixels.

  • Publication number: 20230031023
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for large field of view imaging. A device's first image sensor captures a first image based on first light from a scene redirected by a light redirection element (e.g., a first prism and/or first reflective surface), and the device's second image sensor captures a second image based on second light from the scene redirected by the light redirection element (e.g., a second prism and/or second reflective surface). The device can modify the first image and/or second image using perspective distortion correction and/or to align one or more properties of two respective depictions of a shared portion of a scene in the two images. The one or more properties can include brightness, contrast, positioning, sharpness, tint, hue, and/or saturation. The device can generate a combined image with a large field of view and smooth transitions by combining the first image and the second image.

  • Patent number: 11516391
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for large field of view digital imaging. A device's first image sensor captures a first image based on first light redirected from a first path onto a redirected first path by a first light redirection element, and the device's second image sensor captures a second image based on second light redirected from a second path onto a redirected second path by a second light redirection element. A virtual extension of the first path beyond the first light redirection element can intersect with a virtual extension of the second path intersect beyond the second light redirection element. The device can modify the first image and second image using perspective distortion correction, and can generate a combined image by combining the first image and the second image. The combined image can have a larger field of view than the first image and/or the second image.

  • Publication number: 20210406687
    Abstract: This application discloses a method for predicting an attribute of a target object based on machine learning and a related device, which belong to the field of data prediction technologies. According to the method, a global feature of the target object is determined based on a rule feature representing historical and future change rules of a detection feature, and the global feature is refined to obtain at least one local feature of the target object, so that the refined local feature can better reflect the feature of the target object, and the attribute of the target object is further predicted based on the local feature, thereby improving the precision of the predicted attribute. When the attribute of the target object is a predicted diagnosis result, the precision of the predicted diagnosis result can be improved.

  • Patent number: 9936129
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating a high resolution image from a plurality of images captured from a plurality of sensors. The pixels in one sensor have at least one of different size, shape, or orientation than pixels in another sensor. The difference in size, shape, or orientation of the pixels and the interconnection of pixels on respective sensors provides a high level of certainty that there will be sufficient difference in the captured images, with limited loss in image content, to generate a relatively high resolution image from the images captured by the respective sensors.

  • Patent number: 9811229
    Abstract: A touch sensor apparatus includes a grid of intersecting sensor lines, a plurality of input/output (IO) pins, a plurality of diodes, a processor coupled to the IO pins. More specifically, each intersection includes a capacitor coupling together the intersecting sensor lines. Each diode is coupled to a corresponding IO pin, wherein each IO pin couples through its corresponding diode to a channel of intersection points of the sensor lines and, without the diode, each IO pin couples to a different channel of intersecting points of the sensor lines. The processor is configured to sequentially provide a transmit signal through each IO pin while detecting a response signal on the other IO pins.
