USER INTERFACE FOR ROLLING SHUTTER CAMERA ARRAYS AND ACCURATE VOLUMETRIC CAPTURE WORKFLOWS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18079423 titled 'USER INTERFACE FOR ROLLING SHUTTER CAMERA ARRAYS AND ACCURATE VOLUMETRIC CAPTURE WORKFLOWS

The patent application describes an apparatus with processors and logic to analyze images captured by multiple cameras to determine synchronization errors.

  • The apparatus receives a first image of an object from a first camera and determines keypoints and pose.
  • It then receives a second image from a second camera and calculates the overlap between the two images based on keypoints and poses.
  • The apparatus further determines synchronization errors between the first and second images based on the overlap.

Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus includes one or more processors and logic encoded in one or more non-transitory media for execution by the one or more processors and when executed operable to receive a first image of an object, wherein the first image was captured by a first camera in a set of cameras. The logic is further operable to determine first keypoints and a first pose for the object based on the first image. The logic is further operable to receive a second image from a second camera in the set of cameras. The logic is further operable to determine an overlap of the first image and the second image based on locations of the first keypoints, the second keypoints, the first pose, and the second pose. The logic is further operable to determine a synchronization error between the first image and the second image based on the overlap.
