Application: Conversion between aspect ratios in camera (Patent ID: US20230412754A1)
The patent filed by GoPro Inc. describes a camera system that captures an image in one aspect ratio and transforms it to generate an output image with a different aspect ratio while maintaining the same field of view, resolution, and minimal distortion. The transformation involves linear scaling and non-linear warping, with greater distortion towards the corners of the output image compared to the center. The system ensures that a portion of the output image corresponding to the input image does not have geometrical distortion, with distortion increasing towards the boundary of the output image.
The image capture apparatus and method outlined in the patent involve obtaining an input image, applying a transformation to generate an output image with different aspect ratios, and preserving the resolution of the input image. The transformation includes linear scaling and non-linear warping, with pixel movement based on distances from the center of the input image portion. The system and method allow for the selection of input image portions based on object location, ensuring minimal distortion in the output image. Additionally, the patent covers the transformation of video frames, maintaining image quality and field of view throughout the process.
