STEREOSCOPIC 3D CAMERA FOR VIRTUAL REALITY EXPERIENCE

Embodiments are disclosed for a stereoscopic device (also referred to simply as the “device”) that captures three-dimensional (3D) images and videos with a wide field of view and provides a virtual reality (VR) experience by immersing a user in a simulated environment using the captured 3D images or videos.

ELECTRIC COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUE

Stereoscopic video systems; Multi-view video systems; Details thereof-Processing, recording or transmission of stereoscopic or multi-view image signals-Processing image signals -image signals comprising non-image signal components, e.g. headers or format information-Metadata, e.g. disparity information

PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION

Details of television systems -Television signal recording-Interface circuits between an apparatus for recording and another apparatus-between a recording apparatus and a television camera-the recording apparatus and the television camera being placed in the same enclosure

Stereoscopic video systems; Multi-view video systems; Details thereof-Processing, recording or transmission of stereoscopic or multi-view image signals-Processing image signals -Transformation of image signals corresponding to virtual viewpoints, e.g. spatial image interpolation-the virtual viewpoint locations being selected by the viewers or determined by viewer tracking

Stereoscopic video systems; Multi-view video systems; Details thereof-Image signal generators-Synchronisation thereof; Control thereof

Details of television systems -Television signal recording-using static stores, e.g. storage tubes or semiconductor memories 

COMPUTING; CALCULATING OR COUNTING

Image analysis-Analysis of captured images to determine intrinsic or extrinsic camera parameters, i.e. camera calibration-Stereo camera calibration

IMAGE DATA PROCESSING OR GENERATION, IN GENERAL

Details of colour television systems-Processing of colour television signals in connection with recording-Transformation of the television signal for recording, e.g. modulation, frequency changing; Inverse transformation for playback-the individual colour picture signal components being recorded simultaneously only-involving the multiplexing of an additional signal and the colour video signal-the additional signal being at least another television signal

Stereoscopic video systems; Multi-view video systems; Details thereof-Image signal generators-using stereoscopic image cameras -using two 2D image sensors having a relative position equal to or related to the interocular distance 

Stereoscopic video systems; Multi-view video systems; Details thereof-Image signal generators-using stereoscopic image cameras -Calibration of cameras

Details of colour television systems-Processing of colour television signals in connection with recording-Regeneration of colour television signals -involving the mixing of the reproduced video signal with a non-recorded signal, e.g. a text signal

Cameras or camera modules comprising electronic image sensors; Control thereof-Control of cameras or camera modules-for stable pick-up of the scene, e.g. compensating for camera body vibrations-Vibration or motion blur correction-performed by a processor, e.g. controlling the readout of an image memory

Details of colour television systems-Processing of colour television signals in connection with recording-Transformation of the television signal for recording, e.g. modulation, frequency changing; Inverse transformation for playback-the individual colour picture signal components being recorded simultaneously only-involving the multiplexing of an additional signal and the colour video signal

Stereoscopic video systems; Multi-view video systems; Details thereof-Processing, recording or transmission of stereoscopic or multi-view image signals-Recording image signals; Reproducing recorded image signals

Cameras or camera modules comprising electronic image sensors; Control thereof-Control of cameras or camera modules-for achieving an enlarged field of view, e.g. panoramic image capture
