A system and a process configuration generates a unitary rendered image for a video from at least two cameras. The configuration detects a communication coupling of at least two cameras and determines a master camera and a slave camera. The configuration determines an orientation of camera sensor of the master camera and the slave camera and determines a first frame of a video for a synchronization point for a start of a video capture. The configuration captures and reads images from the master camera sensor and the slave camera sensor in response to the start of the video capture and orientation of the camera sensors.

A system and method of determining a tilt angle of a portable computing device using sensor data; identifying a tilt angle from a plurality of predetermined tilt angle ranges; determining focal length settings for image capture devices of the portable computing device using the tilt angle, adjustment increments, and autofocus scan range algorithms. A portable computing device including a processor; a first image capture device on a first side of the portable computing device, and a second image capture device on the second side of the portable computing device, the second side located opposite of the first side; and a memory device including instructions operable to be executed by the processor to perform a set of actions, enabling the portable computing device to perform the method.

A stereoscopic imaging display. A virtual field-of-view frame or reference window is set in a field of view of a stereo camera. Standard stereoscopic video data is sent. A stereo slide or a stereo photo print is formed with left and right images from the standard stereoscopic video data. Spacing D.sub.P2 between the left and right images is determined by the equation D.sub.P2=B(1−L.sub.2/L.sub.0), where B is a human interpupillary distance, L.sub.2 is a view distance, and L.sub.0 a distance from the human interpupillary distance to a reference dimension display screen which is equivalent to the reference window at the time of photographing being taken.

An image system including a sensor cluster module to detect and capture surface area values of an object and communicate surface area values to a computing device and a projector to receive boundary values related to the surface area values of the object and image content of an image from the computing device, the projector to project the image content within and onto the surface area of the object.

There is provided an endoscope apparatus which enables to observe a three-dimensional image which is easy to view even in close observation.

An endoscope apparatus, comprises: optical systems which form images for a left-eye and a right-eye respectively; an image pickup element which captures the two images and generates pictorial images for the left eye and the right eye; and at least one image processing unit which carries out processing of a pictorial image signal from the image pickup element and creates a stereoscopic image that can be displayed on a monitor, wherein the endoscope apparatus satisfies the following conditional expression (1)

0.3<CP×(1+Dt1)<7, and CP≦10   (1) where, CP denotes a distance (mm) from a surface nearest to object of the optical system up to an object, when an amount of left and right shift of the left-eye pictorial image and the right-eye pictorial image becomes 0, at a center of a monitor screen, and Dt1 denotes a distortion in length at the maximum image height.

Active areas of image sensors are determined by one or more parameters defining a mergeline or memory addresses where image data is stored. Image data generated by active areas of different image sensors are combined to create a panoramic image. Image distortion is detected in image data generated by an active area of an image sensor. Distortion in image data is addressed by configured image processing instructions. A group of one or more processors is assigned to at least each image sensor. At least one set of instructions assures that image data generated by different image sensors creates a combined image of a video with a substantially seamless transition between areas. Curved image sensors limit distortion. Cameras are fixedly held in a calibrated body.

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a display portion and a light control controller. Each of the sub-pixels have a first width along a first direction and a second width along a second direction, the second with being n times as large as the first width where n is a natural number of 2 or more. The light control controller extends in an oblique direction different from the first direction and the second direction and being tilted at approximately 45 degrees to the first direction.

A method of operating a manipulator arm comprising a manipulator interface configured to removably couple with and transmit actuation force to a medical instrument includes mounting a cannula to a cannula mount coupled to the manipulator arm; mounting a medical instrument to the manipulator interface; inserting a shaft of the medical instrument through an entry guide mounted to the cannula; rotating the manipulator interface and the medical instrument relative to the cannula mount; and rotating the entry guide relative to the cannula mount about a longitudinal axis of the cannula.
