DEVICE AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC CAMERA TRANSITION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240334050 titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC CAMERA TRANSITION

The method described in the patent application involves tracking an object of interest in a scene using image data from at least two consecutive frames.

• Obtaining an image of a scene with an object of interest in at least one camera mode
• Analyzing image data from consecutive frames to estimate scene disparity and reliability
• Estimating camera-to-object distance based on the calculated disparity and reliability
• Switching camera modes based on the camera-to-object distance

Potential Applications: - Surveillance systems - Autonomous vehicles - Augmented reality applications

Problems Solved: - Improved object tracking accuracy - Enhanced depth estimation in scenes - Efficient camera mode switching based on distance

Benefits: - Enhanced tracking capabilities - Increased accuracy in distance estimation - Improved performance in various applications

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Object Tracking Technology for Surveillance Systems This technology can be utilized in surveillance systems to improve object tracking accuracy and enhance overall security measures. It can also be integrated into autonomous vehicles to improve navigation and obstacle avoidance capabilities.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve object tracking accuracy compared to existing methods? 2. What are the potential limitations of this technology in real-world applications?

Original Abstract Submitted

according to an embodiment of the disclosure, the method may include obtaining an image of a scene including an object of interest to be tracked in at least one camera mode, obtaining image data of at least two consecutive frames in the at least one camera mode based on the image, estimating a disparity and a reliability of the scene including the object of interest based on the image data, estimating a camera-to-object distance based on the disparity and the reliability, switching the camera mode based on the camera-to-object distance.
