Dynamic Camera Field of View Adjustment - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17880905 titled 'Dynamic Camera Field of View Adjustment
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for adjusting the lateral position of a camera's field of view. The camera can change the position by moving the image sensor and lens relative to each other. The camera maintains the default field of view when stationary. The lateral position can be set using orientation information or position information of a target object.
- Techniques for adjusting the lateral position of a camera's field of view

Original Abstract Submitted
Various embodiments disclosed herein include techniques for adjusting the lateral position of a default field of view of a camera. The camera may change the lateral position of its field of view by creating relative movement between an image sensor and a lens of the camera, and may maintain the camera's field of view to the default field of view when the camera is stationary. In some embodiments, the lateral position may be set using orientation information associated with the camera. In other embodiments, the lateral position may be set using position information associated with a target object.
