  • Patent number: 11863884
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for imaging. An imaging system includes an image sensor with a plurality of photodetectors, grouped into a first group of photodetectors and a second group of photodetectors. The imaging system can reset its image sensor. The imaging system exposes its image sensor to light from a scene. The plurality of photodetectors convert the light into charge. The imaging system stores analog photodetector signals corresponding to the charge from each the photodetectors. The imaging system reads first digital pixel data from a first subset of the analog photodetector signals corresponding to the first group of photodetectors without reading second digital pixel data from a second subset of the analog photodetector signals corresponding to the second group of photodetectors. The imaging system generates an image of the scene using the first digital pixel data.

  • Patent number: 11644890
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for capturing self-images in extended reality environments. In some examples, a system captures a pose of a user of an extended reality system. The pose of the user includes a location of the user within a real-world environment associated with the extended reality system. The system also generates a digital representation of the user. The digital representation of the user reflects the pose of the user. The system further captures one or more frames of the real-world environment and overlays the digital representation of the user onto the one or more frames of the real-world environment.
