Depth map re-projection on user electronic devices

A method includes rendering, on displays of an extended reality (XR) display device, a first sequence of image frames based on image data received from an external electronic device associated with the XR display device. The method further includes detecting an interruption to the image data received from the external electronic device, and accessing a plurality of feature points from a depth map corresponding to the first sequence of image frames. The plurality of feature points includes movement and position information of one or more objects within the first sequence of image frames. The method further includes performing a re-warping to at least partially re-render the one or more objects based at least in part on the plurality of feature points and spatiotemporal data, and rendering a second sequence of image frames corresponding to the partial re-rendering of the one or more objects.

IMAGE-RECORDING DEVICE FOR IMPROVED LOW LIGHT INTENSITY IMAGING AND ASSOCIATED IMAGE-RECORDING METHOD

In order to improve imaging, in particular for low light intensities, an image recording device, in particular formed as an endoscope, is proposed, which comprises a single photon sensitive detector (SPSD) in addition to an image sensor, which uses photodiodes as light-sensitive cells, in order to respectively detect light from a common object area. With the help of the SPSD, additional image information can be obtained from the object area, to improve the image data recorded with the image sensor or to enhance it with additional image information, in particular with regard to a further spectral range, which is captured with the SPSD.
