ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING CAMERA MODULE FOR OBTAINING DEPTH INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17835590 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE COMPRISING CAMERA MODULE FOR OBTAINING DEPTH INFORMATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with two camera modules, one with a wider field of view (FOV) and the other with a narrower FOV. The first camera module has a filter that absorbs infrared light, allowing the processor to obtain depth information about the subject within the narrower FOV.
- The electronic device has two camera modules with different FOVs.
- The first camera module has a filter that absorbs infrared light.
- The filter allows the processor to obtain depth information about the subject within the narrower FOV.
- The depth information is obtained through the image sensor.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Depth sensing in smartphones or tablets for augmented reality applications.
- Improved object recognition and tracking in security cameras.
- Enhanced depth perception for autonomous vehicles or drones.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides depth information about objects within a narrower FOV, allowing for more accurate measurements and analysis.
- Absorbing infrared light helps to reduce interference and improve the quality of depth information.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enables more accurate depth sensing and measurement.
- Enhances the capabilities of electronic devices in various applications.
- Improves object recognition and tracking accuracy.
- Reduces interference and improves the quality of depth information.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes a processor; a first camera module comprising a camera including a first lens assembly having a first field of view (FOV) and a second camera module comprising a camera spaced apart a first camera module and including a second lens assembly having a second FOV narrower than the first FOV; wherein the first camera module includes an image sensor and a filter including a glass plate spaced apart the image sensor and disposed on the image sensor, and a layer disposed on the glass plate and configured to absorb a portion of infrared light among the light transmitted through the first lens assembly, wherein the processor is configured to obtain depth information about on the subject located within the second FOV based on data about the light passing through the filter, which is obtained through the image sensor.
