CAMERA INITIALIZATION FOR REDUCED LATENCY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18523774 titled 'CAMERA INITIALIZATION FOR REDUCED LATENCY

Simplified Explanation

The patent application is about predictive camera initialization, where a method is used to classify a scene based on image data, predict a camera use event, and adjust the power mode of image capture devices accordingly.

  • The method involves obtaining image data from a first image capture device.
  • The scene is classified based on the image data.
  • A camera use event is predicted based on the classification of the scene.
  • The power mode of at least one image capture device is adjusted based on the predicted camera use event.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in:

  • Surveillance systems
  • Autonomous vehicles
  • Photography equipment

Problems Solved

  • Efficient power management for image capture devices
  • Predictive adjustment of camera settings based on scene classification

Benefits

  • Improved battery life for image capture devices
  • Enhanced user experience with optimized camera settings

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Camera Power Modes for Enhanced Performance

Possible Prior Art

No prior art known at this time.

Unanswered Questions

How does the method handle complex or rapidly changing scenes?

The method may struggle to accurately predict camera use events in dynamic environments, leading to potential power mode inefficiencies.

What impact does the adjustment of power modes have on image quality?

It is unclear how adjusting power modes may affect the quality of images captured by the devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems, methods, and non-transitory media are provided for predictive camera initialization. An example method can include obtain, from a first image capture device, image data depicting a scene; classify the scene based on the image data; based on the classification of the scene, predict a camera use event; and based on the predicted camera use event, adjust a power mode of at least one of the first image capture device and a second image capture device.
