Abstract: In general, techniques are described that facilitate processing of a depth map image in mobile devices. A mobile device comprising a depth camera, a camera and a processor may be configured to perform various aspects of the techniques. The depth camera may be configured to capture a depth map image of a scene. The camera may include a linear polarization unit configured to linearly polarize light entering into the camera. The camera may be configured to rotate the linearly polarization unit during capture of the scene to generate a sequence of linearly polarized images of the scene having different polarization orientations. The processor may be configured to perform image registration with respect to the sequence of linearly polarized images to generate a sequence of aligned linearly polarized images, and generate an enhanced depth map image based on the depth map image and the sequence of aligned linearly polarized images.

Abstract: System and methods for performing motion sensitive high dynamic range (HDR) image processing. A saturation analysis circuit is configured to receive a set of image data corresponding to portions of a set of image frames having different exposures time from a lowest exposure time to a highest exposure time, and select image data from a frame that does not exceed the saturation threshold value. A motion detection circuit may be configured to determine whether the image data is associated with movement, by comparing image data from pairs of frames of adjacent exposure times, and changing the selection to a lower exposure time frame if movement is detected. By selecting which exposure time is used based upon movement in the image frame, ghosting and blurring in HDR images containing movement can be reduced.

Abstract: An interactive display, including a cover glass having a front surface that includes a viewing area provides an input/output (I/O) interface for a user of an electronic device. An arrangement includes a processor, a light source, and a camera disposed outside the periphery of the viewing area coplanar with or behind the cover glass. The camera receives scattered light resulting from interaction, with an object, of light outputted from the interactive display, the outputted light being received by the cover glass from the object and directed toward the camera. The processor determines, from image data output by the camera, an azimuthal angle of the object with respect to an optical axis of the camera and/or a distance of the object from the camera.

Abstract: A method and electronic device for selectively obtaining depth information at locations within a scene are described. Image content analysis is performed on a received image of the scene. Locations within the image to obtain depth information within the scene are determined based on the image analysis. The locations are provided to a LIDAR (light+radar) unit to selectively obtain depth information at the scene locations. The depth information is received from the LIDAR unit and a second image analysis is performed on a second image. The second image analysis is based on the image content of the second image and the received depth information. Updated locations based on the second image analysis may be provided to the LIDAR unit to obtain updated depth information.

Abstract: Client calibration can include: (a) instructing a host to display a first desired target, (b) imaging the first displayed target, (c) determining a second desired target based on the imaging, (d) instructing the host to display a second desired target, and (e) adjusting a calibration parameter based on one or more images of the second desired target. The second desired target can be determined (e.g., selected, dynamically generated) based on the first desired target.

Abstract: Methods and systems for surface normal estimation are disclosed. In some aspects, a plurality of images or depth maps representing a three dimensional object from multiple viewpoints is received. Surface normals at surface points within a single image of the plurality of images are estimated based on surface points within the single image. An electronic representation of a three dimensional surface of the object is generated based on the surface normals and a point cloud comprised of surface points derived from the plurality of images.
