Systems and methods for stereo imaging with camera arrays

摘要

Systems and methods for stereo imaging with camera arrays in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of generating depth information for an object using two or more array cameras that each include a plurality of imagers includes obtaining a first set of image data captured from a first set of viewpoints, identifying an object in the first set of image data, determining a first depth measurement, determining whether the first depth measurement is above a threshold, and when the depth is above the threshold: obtaining a second set of image data of the same scene from a second set of viewpoints located known distances from one viewpoint in the first set of viewpoints, identifying the object in the second set of image data, and determining a second depth measurement using the first set of image data and the second set of image data.

主权项

1. A method of generating depth information for an object in a scene using two or more array cameras that each include a plurality of imagers where each imager captures an image of the scene, the method comprising:
obtaining a first set of image data comprising image data of a scene captured from a first set of different viewpoints; identifying an object of interest in the first set of image data; determining a first depth measurement for the object of interest using at least a portion of the first set of image data; determining whether the first depth measurement for the object of interest is above a predetermined threshold; and when the depth for the object of interest is above the predetermined threshold:
obtaining a second set of image data comprising image data of the same scene from a second set of different viewpoints located known distances from at least one viewpoint in the first set of different viewpoints;identifying the object of interest in the second set of image data; anddetermining a second depth measurement for the object of interest using at least a portion of the first set of image data and at least a portion of the second set of image data.
