Adaptive image acquisition for multiframe reconstruction
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for multiframe reconstruction of an object comprising:
- acquiring a set of at least two images of the object, the images acquired at different acquisition settings;
for at least one of the images, determining the acquisition setting for the image based at least in part on improving a depth estimation calculated from the set of images, wherein determining the acquisition setting also takes into account content of previously acquired images as such content relates to depth estimation; and
applying a multiframe reconstruction to the set of images to synthesize a single image, the synthesis including calculating a depth estimation for the object.

Abstract
Multiframe reconstruction combines a set of acquired images into a reconstructed image. Here, which images to acquire are selected based at least in part on the content of previously acquired images. In one approach, a set of at least three images of an object are acquired at different acquisition settings. For at least one of the images in the set, the acquisition setting for the image is determined based at least in part on the content of previously acquired images. Multiframe image reconstruction is applied to the set of acquired images to synthesize a reconstructed image of the object.

18. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing software instructions that, when executed on a computerized system, cause the computerized system to:
-
cause a camera to acquire a set of at least two images of the object, the images acquired at different acquisition settings; for at least one of the images, determine the acquisition setting for the image based at least in part on improving a depth estimation calculated from the set of images, wherein determining the acquisition setting also takes into account content of previously acquired images as such content relates to depth estimation; and apply a multiframe reconstruction to the set of images to synthesize a single image, the synthesis including calculating a depth estimation for the object.

19. A system comprising:
-
a camera that acquires images of an object; a camera controller that controls the camera to acquire a set of at least two images of the object at different acquisition settings; and an adaptive acquisition module communicating with the camera controller wherein, for at least one of the images, the adaptive acquisition module determines the acquisition setting for the image based at least in part on improving a depth estimation calculated from the set of images, wherein determining the acquisition setting also takes into account content of previously acquired images as such content relates to depth estimation. - View Dependent Claims (20)
