Abstract: Systems and techniques are described herein. For example, a process can include obtaining first sensor measurement data associated with a and second sensor measurement from one or more sensors. In some cases, the first measurement data can be associated with a first time and the second sensor measurement data can be associated with a second time occurring after the first time. In some aspects, the process includes determining that the first sensor measurement data and the second sensor measurement data satisfy at least one batching condition. In some examples, the process includes, based on determining that the first sensor measurement data and the second sensor measurement data satisfy the at least one batching condition, generating a sensor measurement data batch including the first sensor measurement data, the second sensor measurement data, and at least one target sensor measurement data. Ins examples the process includes outputting the sensor measurement data batch.

Abstract: An optical image stabilization (OIS) of a camera system includes a controller, a lens and an image stabilizing arrangement (ISA), including one or both of an actuator mechanically coupled with the lens. The controller is configured to: (1) receive measured accelerometer data relating to camera orientation with respect to a gravitational field and causes the actuator to locate the lens at a gravity-adjusted neutral position; and/or (2) synchronously relocate, during a time interval that falls at least partially between a first successive frame and a second successive frame, one or both of the camera lens and an image sensor by controlling a slew motion of the camera lens or image sensor, monitor and controls one or more of exposure time, effective readout time, lens relocation time and frame period, and rebalance the auto exposure algorithm such that the exposure time is less than a critical value.

Abstract: The positioning of an adjustable lens in a camera assembly is synchronized with the capture of an image frame by the image sensor and the position of the adjustable lens is optimized to reduce the amount of blur caused by rotation of the camera assembly over the course of a frame. More specifically, techniques provide for moving the lens to a plurality of optimized positions, relative to the image sensor, over the course of a frame, to reduce motion blur in an image due to pitch, yaw, and/or roll motion of the camera assembly during the frame. Some embodiments may provide for “tight” synchronization in cases where the plurality of optimized positions are based on a time-dependent function that takes into account the rows of the image sensor being exposed over the course of the frame.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments pertain to the measurement of heart rate in the presence of motion and noise. Spectral peaks in measurements by an optical sensor are compared with spectral peaks obtained from a motion sensor signal measurements, to obtain a fundamental frequency in the optical sensor signal, where the fundamental frequency is associated with a user's heart rate. A first heart rate may be estimated based on the fundamental frequency. A variety of quality metrics may be determined for the first heart rate estimate. A second estimated heart rate may be determined based by processing a frequency domain representation of the optical sensor signal based on a frequency domain representation of the motion sensor signal. One or more of the previously determined quality metrics may be dynamically adjusted based on a comparison of first and second estimated heart rates.

Abstract: Techniques described herein can address these and other issues by synchronizing the positioning of an adjustable lens in a camera assembly with the capture of an image frame by the image sensor and optimizing the position of the adjustable lens to reduce the amount of blur caused by translation of the camera assembly along a direction along the optical axis over the course of a frame. More specifically, techniques provide for moving the lens to a plurality of optimized positions, relative to the image sensor, over the course of a frame, to reduce motion blur in an image due to translation of the camera assembly in a direction of along the optical axis during the frame. Some embodiments may provide for “tight” synchronization in cases where the plurality of optimized positions are based on a time-dependent function that takes into account when each row of the image sensor is being exposed over the course of the frame.

Abstract: An optical image stabilization (OIS) of a camera system includes a controller, a lens and an image stabilizing arrangement (ISA), including one or both of an actuator and an image sensor. The controller is receives measured camera motion information from at least one motion sensor. Prior to acquisition of a succession of image frames, the controller determines a first desired start position, for the camera lens and/or the image sensor and, during acquisition of each respective image frame in the succession of image frames, causes the ISA to shift the camera lens and/or the image sensor so as to compensate for the measured camera motion. During a time interval that falls at least partially between a first and a second successive frame, the controller causes the ISA to relocate the camera lens and/or image sensor to a second desired start position for the second successive frame.
