ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18102527 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that includes two image sensors and a processor. The processor is capable of acquiring depth images and confidence maps using the first image sensor, acquiring an RGB image using the second image sensor, and generating a final depth image by combining the acquired depth images and confidence map.
- The electronic device has a first image sensor and a second image sensor.
- The processor of the device can acquire a depth image and a confidence map using the first image sensor.
- The processor can also acquire an RGB image using the second image sensor.
- Using the confidence map and the RGB image, the processor can generate a second depth image.
- The processor then combines the first depth image and the second depth image based on the pixel value of the confidence map to obtain a final depth image.
Potential applications of this technology:
- 3D scanning and modeling
- Augmented reality
- Gesture recognition
- Robotics and autonomous systems
Problems solved by this technology:
- Accurate depth sensing and mapping
- Improved image quality and resolution
- Reduction of noise and artifacts in depth images
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced depth perception and spatial understanding
- More realistic and immersive virtual experiences
- Improved object recognition and tracking
- Increased accuracy and precision in various applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device may comprise a first image sensor, a second image sensor, and a processor, wherein the processor may: acquire a first depth image and a confidence map by using the first image sensor; acquire an RGB image by using the second image sensor; acquire a second depth image on the basis of the confidence map and the RGB image; and acquire a third depth image by composing the first depth image and the second depth image on the basis of the pixel value of the confidence map.
