SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING IMAGE CAPTURE SETTINGS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18537648 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING IMAGE CAPTURE SETTINGS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for an extended reality (XR) system that uses information from a first camera to determine image capture settings for a second camera facing a user. The XR system then causes the second camera to capture image data based on these settings.

  • The XR system receives capture information from a first camera with a first image sensor.
  • The capture information includes first image data and/or image capture settings used by the first camera.
  • Based on the capture information, the XR system determines image capture settings for a second camera facing a user.
  • The XR system may also consider information from a display buffer for a display facing the user when determining image capture settings.
  • The XR system then instructs the second camera to capture image data according to the determined settings.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in virtual reality and augmented reality applications, where capturing high-quality images of users is important for immersive experiences.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of optimizing image capture settings for a camera facing a user in an XR system, ensuring high-quality image data is captured.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved image quality for user-facing cameras in XR systems, leading to more realistic and immersive experiences for users.

Potential Commercial Applications

Commercial applications of this technology could include virtual reality gaming, virtual meetings, and augmented reality applications in various industries such as healthcare and education.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be systems that use image processing algorithms to optimize image capture settings for cameras in different environments.


Original Abstract Submitted

An extended reality (XR) system receives capture information from a first camera with a first image sensor that faces a first direction, for instance facing an environment. The capture information is associated with capture of first image data by the first image sensor, for instance including the first image data and/or first image capture settings used to capture the first image data. The XR system determines an image capture setting, such as an exposure setting, for a second image sensor based on the capture information. The second image sensor faces second direction, for instance facing a user of the XR system. In some examples, the XR system determines the image capture setting also based on information from a display buffer for a display that faces the second direction. The XR system causes a second image sensor to capture second image data according to the image capture setting.
