Reducing throughput of paired cameras, including: selecting, by a first camera of an autonomous vehicle, a first area of focus for a first frame generated by the first camera; selecting, by a second camera of the autonomous vehicle, a second area of focus for a second frame generated by the second camera by matching the first area of focus for the first frame; generating, by the first camera from the first frame, a first downsampled frame and a first cropped frame, wherein the first cropped frame is based on the first area of focus; and generating, by the second camera from the second frame, a second downsampled frame and a second cropped frame, wherein the second cropped frame is based on the second area of focus.

Reducing throughput of paired cameras

Throughput reduction in autonomous vehicle camera sensors, including: generating, by a camera sensor, a frame; selecting an area of focus for the frame; and generating, by the camera sensor from the frame, a downsampled frame and a cropped frame, wherein the cropped frame is based on the area of focus.

Synchronizing stereoscopic cameras using padding data setting modification may include: receiving a first frame from a first camera and a second frame from a second camera; calculating a differential between a first time corresponding to the first frame and a second time corresponding to the second frame; determining whether the differential exceeds a threshold; and increasing, responsive to the differential exceeding the threshold, a frame rate of the first camera relative to the second camera by transmitting a padding data instruction to the first camera or the second camera.

Synchronizing stereoscopic cameras using padding data setting modification

Detecting stereoscopic camera desynchronization may include: receiving, at a processing unit, a first frame from a first camera and a second frame from a second camera, wherein the first camera provides first time data for when the first frame is captured by the first camera and the second camera provides second time data indicating when the second frame is captured by the second camera; associating, with the first image and independent of the first time data, a first timestamp; associating, with the second image and independent of the second time data, a second timestamp; and determining, by the processing unit, whether the first camera and the second camera are synchronized based on the first timestamp and the second timestamp.

Detecting stereoscopic camera desynchronization

Stereoscopic camera resynchronization in an autonomous vehicle may include: sending, to a first camera out of synchronization with a second camera, a first command to modify a frame rate of the first camera by modifying a padding data setting of the first camera; determining, independent of any determination that the first camera and second camera are resynchronized, an interval for sending, to the first camera, a second command to restore the padding data setting of the first camera; and sending, responsive to the interval occurring, the second command to the first camera.
