UNDERLYING TECHNOLOGY: DEPTH EXTRACTION

Obtain a depth map for many points on a 2D picture

Not necessarily per every pixel

From there, we can calculate:

— 3D geometry and model

— Body position and movement

— Face features and expression

Aggregating models is easy

— From different shots

— From different sources

3D SCANNING: THE TECHNOLOGIES Different approaches:

— Structured light Project IR pattern

Find the pattern symbols on the image

Triangulate to find depth

— Stereo Capture two or more images

Find corresponding points

Triangulate to find depth

— Structure from Motion (SfM) Similar to Stereo but using same camera over time (instead of multiple cameras)

— Coded / multiple aperture Project different patterns and solve for depth

— Time of Flight Project pulse of light

Capture returned phase

UNDERLYING TECHNOLOGY: VISUAL ODOMETRY

The use of data from cameras to estimate device change in position over time

1. Uses either single, stereo, or omnidirectional cameras

2. Image correction for lens distortion

3. Feature detection

4. Construct optical flow field

5. Estimation of the camera motion from the optical flow

1. Kalman filter or cost function minimization

6. Check potential tracking errors and remove outliers

7. Periodic repopulation of points to maintain coverage across the image

ARE WE THERE YET? Performance

— Do the algorithms fit in the HW? Is the HW fast enough?

— Do they leave enough headroom for the actual application?

— Do the algorithms and the applications work together efficiently?

Power

— Does it fit the constrains of thermal, max current and battery life?

Cost

— New sensors, light sources, etc.

SW infrastructure

— Do the right APIs exist?

— Is the imaging pipeline flexible enough?

— Are there programming languages/environment to support this?

SW CONSIDERATIONS

Need APIs and frameworks to develop SW

— Flexible and complete enough for experimentation

— Fast and stable enough for productization

— Portable for installed base

APIs and libraries

— Android Camera HAL v.3

— OpenCV

— OpenVX

— StreamInput

— VisionWorks

— CUDA

Camera HAL v3 is a fundamentally new API

— Flexible primitives for building

sophisticated use-cases

— Interface is clean and easily extensible

— Apps can have more control, and more

responsibility

Enables sophisticated camera applications

Faster time to market and higher quality

— 1 Request 1 capture

1 result metadata + N image buffers
