METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AUTOMATED FRAME SYNCHRONIZATION AFTER INITIAL VIDEO FEED - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17933939 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AUTOMATED FRAME SYNCHRONIZATION AFTER INITIAL VIDEO FEED

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method and system for generating image data from a vehicle with multiple cameras. The method involves activating initial video feeds from each camera, determining configuration parameters based on the initial feeds, performing frame synchronization of subsequent video feeds in response to a trigger event, and generating image data based on the synchronization.

  • Method for generating image data from a vehicle with multiple cameras:
   * Activate initial video feeds from each camera
   * Determine configuration parameters based on the initial feeds
   * Perform frame synchronization of subsequent video feeds in response to a trigger event
   * Generate image data based on the synchronization

Potential Applications

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and systems are provided for generating image data from a vehicle having a plurality of cameras. A method includes: activating, by the processor, initial video feed from each of the plurality of cameras; determining, by the processor, configuration parameters for each of the plurality of cameras based on the initial video feed; in response to a trigger event, performing frame synchronization of subsequent video feed from each of the plurality of cameras based on the configuration parameters; and generating, by the processor, the image data based on the frame synchronization.
