CAMERA FRAME EXTRAPOLATION FOR VIDEO PASS-THROUGH - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17739820 titled 'CAMERA FRAME EXTRAPOLATION FOR VIDEO PASS-THROUGH

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes a system and method for synchronizing the frame rate of content captured by a camera with the refresh rate of a display.

  • The system is designed for devices like extended reality (XR) devices.
  • The camera captures frames at a slower rate than the display refresh rate.
  • The method involves obtaining two frames from the camera and determining the motion between them.
  • Based on the second frame and the determined motion, the method predicts a third frame that would come after the second frame.
  • The predicted third frame is then displayed along with mixed reality content and virtual content rendered for the XR device.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and techniques are provided for synchronizing a frame rate of pass-through content from a camera and a display refresh rate. An example method can include obtaining first and second frames captured by an image capture device (which may be part of a device, such as an extended reality (XR) device). A display refresh rate of a display is greater than a camera frame rate of the image capture device. The method may determine motion between the first frame and the second frame. The method can include predicting, based on the second frame and the determined motion, a third frame corresponding to a time after the second frame. The method can include displaying content (e.g., mixed reality content) including the predicted third frame and virtual content rendered for the XR device.
