An image capture device includes a lens that receives light. Further, the image capture device includes an optical beam splitter that receives the light from the lens. In addition, the image capture device includes an image sensor that receives a first portion of the light from the optical beam splitter. The image capture device also includes a plenoptic lens that receives a second portion of the light from the optical beam splitter.

Camera with plenoptic lens

Systems and methods for self-adjusting displays are provided. A self-adjusting display may receive a display characteristics shift profile, where the display characteristics shift profile can be generated based on calibration event data collected from a plurality of displays. The display characteristics shift profile can be utilized as an estimate or prediction of a shift in display characteristics the self-adjusting display may experience over time. The self-adjusting display may calculate adjustment factors or curves to compensate for the estimated/predicted shift in display characteristics to lessen or altogether eliminate the need for performing actual calibration on the self-adjusting display.

Utilizing heuristics to enable self-adjusting displays

An approach is disclosed for generating stereoscopic image sequences. The approach includes receiving a plurality of image sequences, each image sequence captured from a distinct camera or other capture device in a multi-camera array. One image sequence is a primary image sequence and the other image sequences are secondary image sequences. The approach further includes generating, from the primary and at least one or more of the secondary image sequences, depth maps corresponding to images of the primary image sequence and generating, for each image in the primary image sequence, based on at least the depth maps and the corresponding images of the primary image sequence, stereoscopic images of a stereoscopic image sequence.
