<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an enhanced dual lens digital zoom. <P>SOLUTION: A camera includes a pair of lens/sensor combinations (12, 14, 16, 18), wherein two lenses (12, 16) have different focal lengths, so that the image from one of the combinations includes a field of view approximately two to three times greater than the image from the other combination. When the user of the camera requests a given amount of zoom, the zoomed image to be provided comes from the lens/sensor combination having the field of view that is next larger than the requested field of view. Thus, when the requested field of view is less than the smaller field of view combination, the zoomed image is created from the image captured by that combination, using trimming and interpolation if necessary. Similarly, when the requested field of view is greater than the smaller field of view combination, the zoomed image is created from the image captured by the other combination, using trimming and interpolation if necessary. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
