Synchronizing Rolling Shutter and Global Shutter Sensors - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17828853 titled 'Synchronizing Rolling Shutter and Global Shutter Sensors
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes an imaging system that synchronizes rolling shutter and global shutter sensors. - The system includes an illumination source, a first imaging sensor, and a second imaging sensor. - The first imaging sensor captures image data during a period that overlaps with the illumination period and operates as a global shutter sensor. - The second imaging sensor captures image data during a different period that also overlaps with the illumination period and operates as a rolling shutter sensor.
Original Abstract Submitted
An imaging system for synchronizing rolling shutter and global shutter sensors is disclosed herein. An example imaging system includes an illumination source configured to emit illumination lasting a predetermined period, a first imaging sensor, and a second imaging sensor. The first imaging sensor is configured to capture first image data representative of an environment appearing within a field of view (FOV) of the first imaging sensor during a first period that overlaps at least partially with the predetermined period, and the first imaging sensor operates as a global shutter imaging sensor. The second imaging sensor is configured to capture second image data representative of an environment appearing within a FOV of the second imaging sensor during a second period that overlaps at least partially with the predetermined period and is different from the first period, and the second imaging sensor operates as a rolling shutter imaging sensor.
