Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to combine frames of overlapping scanning systems are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a time delay controller to determine a first time value and a second time value, the first time value different from the second time value; a capture synchronizer to, in response to the first time value corresponding to a first time, capture a first frame from a first scanning system and, in response to the second time value corresponding to a second time, capture a second frame from a second scanning system; and a capture combiner to combine the first frame and the second frame into a third frame, the third frame including data from the first frame and data from the second frame.

An example apparatus for processing images includes a trainable vision scaler to receive an image. The trainable vision scaler is to generate output including a feature map or an enhanced image based on the image. The trainable vision scaler is to transmit the output to a computer vision network. The computer vision network is trained to perform a computer vision task using the output.

Multi-polygon, vertically-separated laser scanning apparatus and methods are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a multi-polygon. The multi-polygon includes a first polygon, a central axis, and a second polygon. The first polygon includes a first plurality of outwardly-facing mirrored facets. The second polygon includes a second plurality of outwardly-facing mirrored facets angularly offset about the central axis relative to the first plurality of outwardly-facing mirrored facets. The second polygon is positioned relative to the first polygon along the central axis. The first and second polygons are rotatable about the central axis.

In some examples, a computing device for processing data streams includes storage to store instructions and a processor to execute the instructions. The processor is to execute the instructions to receive respective data streams provided from a plurality of data producer sensors. The processor is also to execute the instructions to stagger a time of triggering of a first of the plurality of data producer sensors relative to a time of triggering of a second of the plurality of data producer sensors to minimize a concurrency of data frames of the data stream received from the first data producer sensor and data frames of the data stream received from the second of the plurality of data producer sensors. The processor is also to execute the instructions to process the data streams from the plurality of data producer sensors in a time-shared manner. The processor is also to execute the instructions to provide the processed data streams to one or more consumer of the processed data streams.

Low latency data synchronization

Systems and techniques for bi-directional negotiation for dynamic data chunking are described herein. A set of available features for a memory subsystem. The set of available features including latency of buffer locations of the memory subsystem. An indication of a first latency requirement of a first data consumer and a second latency requirement of a second data consumer may be obtained. A first buffer location of the memory subsystem for a data stream based on the first latency requirement may be negotiated with the first data consumer. A second buffer location of the memory subsystem for the data stream based on the second latency requirement may be negotiated with the second data consumer. An indication of the first buffer location may be provided to the first data consumer and an indication of the second buffer location may be provided to the second data consumer.

Technologies for controlling vision correction include a wearable computing device having a variable lens, an eye tracking sensor, and a depth sensor. The focal length of the variable lens is electronically adjustable. The wearable computing device determines a gaze direction of a user as a function of eye tracking sensor data received from the eye tracking sensor. The distance to an object positioned in the gaze direction is determined as a function of depth data received from the depth sensor. A new focal length is determined as a function of the distance to the object, and the focal length of the variable lens is adjusted to the new focal length. The new focal length may be selected from a set of pre-defined focal lengths based on the distance to the object or calculated based on the distance to the object. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Camera control architecture and methods that distribute control responsibilities across hard real-time and soft real-time parts. The operation of digital camera control algorithms can be made less sensitive to timing fluctuations among the various systems within a device platform that includes a camera module (CM) and/or image signal processing (ISP) pipeline. Real-time dispatch of control parameter values may be offloaded from a controller responsible for generating control parameter values. With relaxed timing requirements, camera control algorithm libraries may be developed independent of lower-level hardware responsible for managing the dispatch of control parameter values to the CM and/or ISP.

Platform architecture for accelerated camera control algorithms

A device and methods are provided for accessing memory. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request for data stored in a device, checking a local memory for data based on the request to determine if one or more blocks of data associated with the request are stored in the local memory, and generating a memory access request for one or more blocks of data stored in a memory of the device based when one or more blocks of data are not stored in the local memory. In one embodiment, data stored in memory of the device may be arranged in a configuration to include a plurality of memory access units each having adjacent lines of pixel data to define a single line of memory within the memory access units. Memory access units may be configured based on memory type and may reduce the number of undesired pixels read.

Systems and methods directed to determining motion in a video signal are provided. A plurality of pixels of a plurality of adjacent field lines of alternating parity of the video signal are evaluated to generate a plurality of differential values. A sign of each differential value is determined, and when each differential value has the same sign, at least one differential value can be compared with a threshold value. Responsive to the comparison of at least one differential value with a threshold value, a motion coefficient indicative of a magnitude of motion associated with one of the plurality of pixels can be generated.
