MULTIPLE CAMERA FIELD OF VIEW FRAME STITCHING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17946391 titled 'MULTIPLE CAMERA FIELD OF VIEW FRAME STITCHING
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a system where multiple cameras work together to create an extended field of view by stitching together non-overlapping portions of their individual fields of view. The cameras communicate with each other to share information and create a consolidated visual image for an information handling system.
- Cameras cooperate to define an overlap of fields of view.
- Plural cameras stitch non-overlapping portions into a consolidated visual image.
- Cameras communicate through wireless interface or communication cables.
- Cameras share overlap boundary, resolution compatibility, and architecture for communicating with the information handling system.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in surveillance systems, virtual reality applications, and panoramic photography.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of limited field of view in individual cameras and provides a seamless extended view for various applications.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include enhanced visual coverage, improved situational awareness, and better image quality.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include security systems, entertainment industry, and sports broadcasting.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of multiple cameras in a panoramic photography system.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle different lighting conditions in the overlapping portions captured by the cameras?
The system may use image processing algorithms to adjust for differences in lighting conditions between the overlapping portions.
What is the maximum number of cameras that can be used in this system?
The maximum number of cameras that can be used may depend on the processing power of the information handling system and the complexity of stitching together multiple fields of view.
Original Abstract Submitted
Plural cameras cooperate to define an overlap of fields of view that consolidate to provide an extended field of view communicated to an information handling system. The plural cameras stitch the non-overlapping portions into a consolidated visual image by reference to a landmark captured by both cameras in the overlapping portion, such as a reference marker placed in the extended field of view. The plural cameras coordinate through a wireless interface or with a daisy chain of communication cables to share the overlap boundary, resolution compatibility and an architecture for communicating the consolidated field of view with the information handling system.
