    Abstract: A device including a plurality of epitaxial chips is disclosed. An epitaxial chip can have one or more of a light source and a detector, where the detector can be configured to measure the optical properties of the light emitted by a light source. In some examples, one or more epitaxial chips can have one or more optical properties that differ from other epitaxial chips. The epitaxial chips can be dependently operable. For example, the detector located on one epitaxial chip can be configured for measuring the optical properties of light emitted by a light source located on another epitaxial chip by way of one or more optical signals. The collection of epitaxial chips can also allow detection of a plurality of laser outputs, where two or more epitaxial chips can have different material and/or optical properties.

    Abstract: Devices, methods, and non-transitory program storage devices are disclosed herein to: obtain, at a first electronic device, one more images captured by a first image capture device; crop a first portion of a first image of the one or more images, e.g., comprising a face of a human subject; apply a distortion correction operation to the cropped first portion; and then crop a second portion of the first image, wherein the second portion comprises a portion of a surface (e.g., a desktop or document) in the first image; apply a distortion correction operation to the cropped second portion; and transmit the distortion-corrected first and second portions to a second electronic device, e.g., after compositing the first and second portions into an output image to be transmitted. The first image capture device may be integrated into the first electronic device, or it may be connected in a wired or wireless fashion.
