METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AN IMAGING DEVICE
An embodiment of an image recording apparatus includes an eyeglass frame, at least one first optical unit disposed on the eyeglass frame for capturing a main scene image, and at least one second optical unit disposed on the eyeglass frame for capturing an auxiliary scene image. The first and the second field of view of the user at least partially overlap. The image resolution of the main scene image is lower than the image resolution of the main scene image and the field of view of the main scene image is larger than the field of view of the auxiliary scene image. The image recording apparatus further includes at least one processor for receiving the main and the auxiliary scene images, and generating a modified resolution copy of the main scene image based on the auxiliary scene image.
1 . A multi-camera imaging apparatus comprising:
a first camera having a first color filter array, a first field of view, a first image resolution, and a first plurality of image pixels, for capturing at least one first image;
a second camera having a second color filter array, a second field of view, a second image resolution, and a second plurality of image pixels, for capturing at least one second image, wherein the first and the second fields of view at least partially overlap;
at least one processor in communication with the first and the second cameras, the at least one processor configured to:
receive the at least one first image from the first camera and the at least one second image from the second camera,
associate a first subset of the at least one first image to a subset of the at least one second image,
generate, based upon the associated first subset of the at least one first image to the subset of the at least one second image, an output image, corresponding to a third field of view that is a subset of the first field of view but has no overlap with the second field of view, in such a way that the dynamic range of the output image is higher than the dynamic range of the corresponding subset of the at least one first image that is within the third field of view.
