Intelligent reframing techniques are described in which content (e.g., a movie) can be generated in a different aspect ratio than previously provided. These techniques include obtaining various video frames having a first aspect ratio. Various objects can be identified within the frames. An object having the highest degree of importance in a frame can be selected and a focal point can be calculated based at least in part on that object. A modified version of the content can be generated in a second aspect ratio that is different from the first aspect ratio. The modified version can be generated using the focal point calculated based on the object having the greatest degree of importance. Using these techniques, the content can be provided in a different aspect ratio while ensuring that the most important features of the frame still appear in the new version of the content.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system and a method for performing operations comprising: displaying, by a messaging application, a sound capture screen that enables a user to record the sound; after the sound is recorded using the sound capture screen, generating, by the messaging application, a visual element associated with the sound; receiving, by the messaging application, selection of the visual element from a displayed list of visual elements representing different sounds; in response to receiving the selection of the visual element, conditionally adding one or more graphics representing the sound to one or more images at a user selected position based on a privacy status of the sound; and playing, by the messaging application, the sound associated with the visual element together with displaying the one or more images.

A camera array, an imaging device and/or a method for capturing image that employ a plurality of imagers fabricated on a substrate is provided. Each imager includes a plurality of pixels. The plurality of imagers include a first imager having a first imaging characteristics and a second imager having a second imaging characteristics. The images generated by the plurality of imagers are processed to obtain an enhanced image compared to images captured by the imagers. Each imager may be associated with an optical element fabricated using a wafer level optics (WLO) technology.

Provided are an image zooming method and an image zooming apparatus for optical zooming by using a plurality of lenses with different focal lengths. The image zooming method includes capturing an identical scene via a plurality of lenses; obtaining a first image and a second image of the identical scene that have different resolving powers; determining a first area of the first image and a second area of the second image which corresponds to the first area; and generating a composite image the second area and a remaining area of the first image from which the first area is excluded.

Embodiments relate to an architecture of a vision pipe included in an image signal processor. The architecture includes a front-end portion that includes a pair of image signal pipelines that generate an updated luminance image data. A back-end portion of the vision pipe architecture receives the updated luminance images from the front-end portion and performs, in parallel, scaling and various computer vision operations on the updated luminance image data. The back-end portion may repeatedly perform this parallel operation of computer vision operations on successively scaled luminance images to generate a pyramid image.

An autostereoscopic display comprises a pixelated display panel comprising an array of single color pixels or an array of sub-pixels of different colors and a view forming arrangement comprising an array of lens elements. The pixels form a square (or near square) grid, and the lenses also repeat in a square (or near square) grid. A vector p is defined which relates to a mapping between the pixel grid and the lens grid. Regions in the two dimension space for this vector p are identified which give good or poor banding performance, and the better banding performance regions are selected.

An electronic device, comprising a processor which is configured to reconstruct in real-time a preview image of compressed sensing image data.

A system for imaging and analyzing a vehicle may include a frame having a central passage, wherein the central passage is configured and dimensioned to allow a vehicle to pass through. The frame may include, for example, a pair of substantially vertical legs connected at the top by a cross member, wherein the legs and cross member define the central passage. One or more bollards may be positioned in front of and/or behind the frame. A plurality of cameras within the each leg, cross member, and/or bollard may be directed toward the passage to record video images of a passing vehicle. Integrated LED array panels may provide bands of light to aid in detection of surface anomalies, for example by simultaneous analysis of symmetrical sides of the vehicle.

Provided is a driving support device configured to: generate a bird's-eye view image around an own vehicle from periphery images acquired from a plurality of periphery monitoring cameras, and generate a cropped bird's-eye view image by cropping an image of a cropping range including a blind spot range from the generated bird's-eye view image; generate a rear-lateral side converted image by converting a rear-lateral side direction image acquired from a rear-lateral side monitoring camera into an image in which left and right are inverted; and generate a combined image in which the generated cropped bird's-eye view image and the generated rear-lateral side converted image are arranged, and control a display device such that the generated combined image is displayed by the display device.
