AUTOMATIC CAMERA SELECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17736919 titled 'AUTOMATIC CAMERA SELECTION

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes systems and techniques for selecting a camera from a group of cameras based on the depth of field (DOF) range of a captured scene. Here are the key points:

  • The process starts by obtaining an image from a camera.
  • The DOF range of the scene captured in the image is determined.
  • The DOF range of the scene is then compared with the DOF ranges of the cameras in the group.
  • Based on this comparison, a camera is selected from the group.
  • The selection is made by considering how well the DOF range of the scene matches the DOF ranges of each camera in the group.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and techniques are provided for selecting a camera from a plurality of cameras. For example, a process can include obtaining an image from a camera. In some cases, the process can include determining a depth of field (DOF) range associated with a scene captured in the image. In some aspects, the process can include comparing the DOF range associated with the scene captured in the image with one or more DOF ranges of respective cameras of a plurality of cameras. In some examples, the process can include determining a selected camera from the plurality of cameras based on comparing the DOF range associated with the scene captured in the image with respective one or more DOF ranges of each camera of the plurality of cameras.
