Methods and systems for acquiring and/or projecting images from and/or to a target area are provided. Such a method or system can include an optical fiber assembly which may be driven to scan the target area in a scan pattern. The optical fiber assembly may provide multiple effective light sources (e.g., via a plurality of optical fibers) that are axially staggered with respect to an optical system located between the optical fiber and the target area. The optical system may be operable to focus and/or redirect the light from the multiple light sources onto separate focal planes. A composite image may be generated based on light reflected from and/or projected onto the separate focal planes. The composite image may have an extended depth of focus or field spanning over a distance between the separate focal planes while maintaining or improving image resolution.

An image enhancement method, comprising: obtaining a reference image frame from of a scene, by a frame-based sensor, wherein the reference image contains artifacts and has an exposure duration; obtaining a stream of events, by an event-based sensor which is synchronized with the frame-based sensor, at least during the exposure duration, wherein the events encode brightness changes of the scene corresponding to the reference image; and deriving a corrected image frame without the artifacts from the reference image frame using the stream of events.

A computer-implemented method includes communicating with a remote network, capturing one or more images or video recordings, receiving one or more images from the camera, wherein the one or more images from the camera is a high resolution image (HRI), compressing the HRI via a compression model to a low resolution image (LRI), encoding the LRI to obtain an encoded LRI, sending the encoded LRI to a super resolution model at the remote network, decoding the encoded LRI at the remote network to obtain a reconstructed HRI, and outputting the reconstructed HRI.

A display device and a control circuit thereof are provided. The display device includes: a display panel that is foldable and a housing that is foldable and used for supporting the display panel. The display panel has a folding axis and is divided into a first display area and a second display area along the folding axis; the first display area and the second display area partially overlap in a case where the display panel is in a folded state along the folding axis, and the second display area comprises a non-overlapping portion that does not overlap the first display area; and a component is provided at a position of the housing supporting the non-overlapping portion.

A method for processing an image is provided, in which a circular omnidirectional image is received. The circular omnidirectional image is displayed on a display. A first rectangular image representing a first part of the circular omnidirectional image is generated in response to a first user input received via the display on the circular omnidirectional image. The first rectangular image is superimposed on the circular omnidirectional image.

A method in an electronic device includes detecting, by one or more processors from a first video stream captured by an imager, one or more images being presented by a remote display of an external electronic device. The method includes receiving, with a communication device operable with the one or more processors in response to the detecting, a second video stream comprising the one or more images being presented on the remote display. The method includes replacing, by the one or more processors on a local display of the electronic device, presentation of the first video stream with the second video stream. This works to eliminate visual distortion due to differences between the refresh rates of the display and remote display or asynchronous nature of the clocks in the electronic device and the external electronic device.

An electronic device, method thereof, and digital camera are provided, including an image sensor that generates pixel data based on light received through a lens that permits distortion where a captured image is compressed in a first direction, and an image signal processor that performs re-mosaic processing on the pixel data for correcting distortion occurring in the first direction and to generate re-mosaiced pixel data.

An image processing apparatus includes a separation unit configured to separate luminance information of each pixel in a processing area of an input image into an intrusion component and an object component, a determination unit configured to determine whether each of intrusion components is a first component or a second component, a processing unit configured to generate first information based on the first component, and an image generating unit configured to generate an output image based on the first information, the second component, and the object component.

An image signal processor is provided. The image signal processor includes a white balancing block which performs white balancing on a raw RGB image of a Bayer pattern received from an image sensor on a kernel basis or in a kernel unit, a green generation block which performs cross-binning on white-balanced G pixel to generate a first green pixel, and adds a high-frequency component to which a preset weight is applied to generate a binned green pixel, a red-blue generation block which generates a U pixel and a V pixel indicating directionality, on the basis of the binned green pixel, a white-balanced R pixel, and a white-balanced B pixel, and merges the binned green pixel to each of the U pixel and the V pixel to generate a binned red pixel and a binned blue pixel and an inverse white balancing block which performs an inverse white balancing on the binned red pixel, the binned green pixel, and the binned blue pixel to output a final binning image.

An imaging device may code light, passing through an imaging optical lens arranged in a multi-lens array (MLA), and may transmit the light to a sensing element, and the sensing element may restore an image based on sensed information.
