    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for capturing stereoscopic images using one or more high color density or "full color" image sensors and one or more low color density or "sparse color" image sensors. Low color density image sensors, may include substantially fewer color pixels than the sensor's total number of pixels, as well as fewer color pixels than the total number of color pixels on the full color image sensor. More particularly, the mostly- monochrome image captured by the low color density image sensor may be used to reduce noise and increase the spatial resolution of an imaging system's output image. In addition, the color pixels present in the low color density image sensor may be used to identify and fill in color pixel values, e.g., for regions occluded in the image captured using the full color image sensor. Optical Image Stabilization and/or split photodiodes may be employed on one or more sensors.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for automated analysis and filtering of image data. Image data is analyzed to identify regions of interest (ROIs) within the image content. The image data also may have depth estimates applied to content therein. One or more of the ROIs may be designated to possess a base depth, representing a depth of image content against which depths of other content may be compared. Moreover, the depth of the image content within a spatial area of an ROI may be set to be a consistent value, regardless of depth estimates that may have been assigned from other sources. Thereafter, other elements of image content may be assigned content adjustment values in gradients based on their relative depth in image content as compared to the base depth and, optionally, based on their spatial distance from the designated ROI. Image content may be adjusted based on the content adjustment values.

    Abstract translation: 描述了用于图像数据的自动分析和过滤的技术。 分析图像数据以识别图像内容中的感兴趣区域(ROI)。 图像数据还可以具有应用于其中的内容的深度估计。 一个或多个ROI可以被指定为具有基本深度,表示可以与其他内容的深度进行比较的图像内容的深度。 此外,ROI的空间区域内的图像内容的深度可以被设置为一致的值,而不管可能已经从其他源分配的深度估计。 此后,与基础深度相比,可选地,基于它们与指定ROI的空间距离,可以基于图像内容中的它们的相对深度,为图像内容的其他元素分配梯度内的内容调整值。 图像内容可以根据内容调整值进行调整。
