  • Publication number: 20240283285
    Abstract: A power system includes a transistor device (e.g., one or more NFETs) is coupled between input voltage and switching node terminals, to provide a variable sense resistance. The system may further include low-side and high-side switching elements, with the low-side switching element coupled between a ground terminal and the switching node terminal, and the high-side switching element coupled between the switching node terminal and an output voltage terminal. The system may be configured to determine its mode of operation, based on primary and backup battery voltages, and enable a corresponding control loop based on that determined mode. With a control loop enabled, the system may be further configured to control the transistor device to provide a variable sense resistor based on a given control parameter. The low-side switching element may be shared by the modes, and external to a chip that includes the high-side switching element and transistor device.

  • 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: 10594945
    Abstract: A sensor is configured to acquire a light field by imaging a scene. A processor is configured to determine four-dimensional (4D) coordinates of points in a light field and generate dollied coordinates from the 4D coordinates based on a dolly transform and a dolly parameter. The processor is also configured to project rays associated with the dollied coordinates from the light field onto corresponding points in an output raster. In some cases, the processor applies an aperture function to filter the rays in the coordinate system of the dollied coordinates. The aperture function has a first value in a first region of an aperture plane and the aperture value has a second value in a second region of the aperture plane. Rays passing through the first region are accepted by the aperture function and rays passing through the second region are rejected.

  • Patent number: 10354399
    Abstract: Dense light-field data can be generated from image data that does not include light-field data, or from image data that includes sparse light-field data. In at least one embodiment, the source light-field data may include one or more sub-aperture images that may be used to reconstruct the light-field in denser form. In other embodiments, the source data can take other forms. Examples include data derived from or ancillary to a set of sub-aperture images, synthetic data, or captured image data that does not include full light-field data. Interpolation, back-projection, and/or other techniques are used in connection with source sub-aperture images or their equivalents, to generate dense light-field data.

  • Patent number: 9900510
    Abstract: Motion blur may be applied to a light-field image. The light-field image may be captured with a light-field camera having a main lens, an image sensor, and a plurality of microlenses positioned between the main lens and the image sensor. The light-field image may have a plurality of lenslet images, each of which corresponds to one microlens of the microlens array. The light-field image may be used to generate a mosaic of subaperture images, each of which has pixels from the same location on each of the lenslet images. Motion vectors may be computed to indicate motion occurring within at least a primary subaperture image of the mosaic. The motion vectors may be used to carry out shutter reconstruction of the mosaic to generate a mosaic of blurred subaperture images, which may then be used to generate a motion-blurred light-field image.
