A video system processes video frames from a wide angle camera to dewarp the video frames in a manner that preserves conformity of an object of interest. A crop region of a video frame corresponding to the object of interest is determined. An input parameter to a dewarping function is generated based on the detected crop region. The dewarping function is applied to the crop region using the input parameter to generate a dewarped video frame and the dewarped video frame is outputted. The input parameter may be generated in a manner that causes the dewarped video frame to have higher conformity and lower distortion in the region around the object of interest than in a region distant from the object of interest.

Adaptive dewarping of wide angle video frames

A method for camera processing using a camera application programming interface (API) is described. A processor executing the camera API may be configured to receive instructions that specify a use case for a camera pipeline, the use case defining at least one or more processing engines of a plurality of processing engines for processing image data with the camera pipeline, wherein the plurality of processing engines includes one or more of fixed-function image signal processing nodes internal to a camera processor and one or more processing engines external to the camera processor. The processor may be further configured to route image data to the one or more processing engines specified by the instructions, and return the results of processing the image data with the one or more processing engines to the application.
