Stereo assist with rolling shutters
First Claim
1. An imaging system, the system comprising:
- a first image capture device having a first field of view and configured to acquire a first series of image scan lines relative to a scene;
a second image capture device having a second field of view different from the first field of view and that at least partially overlaps the first field of view, the second image capture device being configured to acquire a second series of image scan lines relative to the scene; and
at least one processing device configured to identify at least one scan line from the first series of image scan lines and at least one scan line from the second series of image scan lines as a synchronized line and calculate a depth of at least one point based on the synchronized line.

Abstract
An imaging system for a vehicle may include a first image capture device having a first field of view and configured to acquire a first image relative to a scene associated with the vehicle, the first image being acquired as a first series of image scan lines captured using a rolling shutter. The imaging system may also include a second image capture device having a second field of view different from the first field of view and that at least partially overlaps the first field of view, the second image capture device being configured to acquire a second image relative to the scene associated with the vehicle, the second image being acquired as a second series of image scan lines captured using a rolling shutter. As a result of overlap between the first field of view and the second field of view, a first overlap portion of the first image corresponds with a second overlap portion of the second image. The first image capture device has a first scan rate associated with acquisition of the first series of image scan lines that is different from a second scan rate associated with acquisition of the second series of image scan lines, such that the first image capture device acquires the first overlap portion of the first image over a period of time during which the second overlap portion of the second image is acquired.

14. An imaging system, comprising:
at least one processing device configured to; receive, from a first image capture device having a first field of view, a first series of image scan lines relative to a scene; receive, from a second image capture device having a second field of view different from the first field of view and that at least partially overlaps the first field of view, a second series of image scan lines relative to the scene; and correlate at least one scan line from the first series of image scan lines and at least one scan line from the second series of image scan lines as a synchronized line; and calculate a depth of at least one point based on the synchronized line. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A method for depth computation, comprising:
-
receiving, from a first image capture device having a first field of view, a first series of image scan lines relative to a scene; receiving, from a second image capture device having a second field of view different from the first field of view and that at least partially overlaps the first field of view, a second series of image scan lines relative to the scene; and correlating at least one scan line from the first series of image scan lines and at least one scan line from the second series of image scan lines as a synchronized line; and calculating a depth of at least one point based on the synchronized line.
