VIRTUAL CHANNEL CONFIGURATION SESSION OF A CAMERA SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17817427 titled 'VIRTUAL CHANNEL CONFIGURATION SESSION OF A CAMERA SENSOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a camera sensor component that receives configurations for multiple virtual channels (VCs) with different binning modes. The component detects triggers to start streaming activity frames associated with each VC and streams them according to their respective binning modes.

  • The camera sensor component receives configurations for multiple VCs with different binning modes.
  • Triggers are detected to initiate streaming of activity frames for each VC.
  • The camera sensor component streams activity frames for the first VC according to its binning mode.
  • The camera sensor component streams activity frames for the second VC according to its binning mode.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be used in digital cameras and smartphones to improve image quality and optimize image processing based on different binning modes.
  • It can be applied in surveillance systems to capture and process high-resolution images with different binning modes.

Problems Solved:

  • The technology solves the problem of efficiently streaming activity frames associated with different VCs and binning modes.
  • It addresses the challenge of optimizing image processing based on different binning modes.

Benefits:

  • Improved image quality and resolution by streaming activity frames according to the specific binning mode of each VC.
  • Enhanced efficiency in capturing and processing images with different binning modes.
  • Flexibility to adapt to various imaging requirements and optimize image processing accordingly.


Original Abstract Submitted

In an aspect, camera sensor component receives, during a multi-virtual channel (VC) configuration session, a first configuration of a first VC associated with a first binning mode (e.g., full, 4×4, 8×8, etc.) and a second configuration of a second VC, the second configuration associated with a second binning mode (e.g., full, 4×4, 8×8, etc.). The camera sensor component detects trigger(s) to initiate streaming of activity frames associated with the first VC and the second VC. In response to the trigger(s), the camera sensor component streams first activity frames associated with the first VC in accordance with the first binning mode, and streams second activity frames associated with the second VC in accordance with the second binning mode.
