  • Patent number: 11375173
    Abstract: An image capture device having multiple image sensors having overlapping fields of view that aligns the image sensors based on images captured by image sensors. A pixel shift is identified between the images. Based on the identified pixel shift, a calibration is applied to one or more of the image sensors. To determine the pixel shift, a processor applies correlation methods including edge matching. Calibrating the image sensors may include adjusting a read window on an image sensor. The pixel shift can also be used to determine a time lag, which can be used to synchronize subsequent image captures.

  • Patent number: 10949974
    Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for automatically performing disease detection using image processing. The technique includes receiving, from image capture devices, a first image depicting a first set of plants of a first unit and a second image depicting a second set of plants of a second unit. One or more metrics associated with the first and second sets of the plants are measured based at least on the images. At least one difference in the first and second sets of the plants is detected based at least on differences in the measurement for the one or more metrics associated with the first set of the plants and the second set of the plants. In response to detecting the at least one difference, additional images of the plants are requested from the one or more image capture devices to detect the presence of plant disease.

  • Patent number: 10798365
    Abstract: A pair of cameras having an overlapping field of view is aligned based on images captured by image sensors of the pair of cameras. A pixel shift is identified between the images. Based on the identified pixel shift, a calibration is applied to one or both of the pair of cameras. To determine the pixel shift, the camera applies correlation methods including edge matching. Calibrating the pair of cameras may include adjusting a read window on an image sensor.

  • Publication number: 20180295293
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product provide for post processing of images captured by an imaging system having multiple image capture devices to permit one or more of the images to be rotated relative to one or more other concurrently captured images. In the context of a method, a plurality of images are received of different portions of a scene captured concurrently by a plurality of image capture devices. The method includes rotating at least one of the images relative to at least one other image captured concurrently therewith. At least one of the images having relative rotation forms at least one rotated image. The method further includes stitching the at least one rotated image and the least one other image to form a panoramic image. The panoramic image includes at least one portion defined by at least one rotated image that is intentionally spatially incorrect.

  • Publication number: 20180241982
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for improved generation of composite images for display in three-dimensional environments. Images may be adjoined to form three-dimensional composite images, but the composite images may be subject to contraction lines. The adjoining images or composite image may be processed with circular matching and mixed blending to reduce the contraction lines near the seams of the images and to improve image quality. The circular matching includes adjusting pixel colors and/or intensity values so that pixels corresponding by circular symmetry match in color and/or intensity. The composite image may be smoothed by mixed blending to eliminate or reduce abrupt edges in the area of the circular matching. The resulting composite image provides improved image quality and realistic three-dimensional effects.
