Systems, imaging devices and methods for creating background blur in camera panning or motion. Using an imaging device with an image sensor, a method may comprise selecting an object to be tracked in a scene, recording an image or an image stream, and aligning the selected object optically and/or digitally to a same position on the image sensor while the selected object moves relative to the imaging device or relative to the scene, thereby creating a blurred image background and/or foreground relative to the selected object and a sense of panning or motion.

System and method for creating background blur in camera panning or motion

A dual-aperture zoom digital camera operable in both still and video modes. The camera includes Wide and Tele imaging sections with respective lens/sensor combinations and image signal processors and a camera controller operatively coupled to the Wide and Tele imaging sections. The Wide and Tele imaging sections provide respective image data. The controller is configured to output, in a zoom-in operation between a lower zoom factor (ZF) value and a higher ZF value, a zoom video output image that includes only Wide image data or only Tele image data, depending on whether a no-switching criterion is fulfilled or not.

Dual aperture zoom camera with video support and switching / non-switching dynamic control

Mobile devices comprising a first camera having a first camera field-of-view (FOV) and including a first image sensor configured to operate a first segment of the first image sensor in a full resolution-mode for capturing full resolution image data and to operate a second segment of the first image sensor in a binning resolution mode for capturing binning resolution image data and a processor for analyzing image data of the first camera to select a region of interest (ROI) in a scene and for configuring the first image sensor so that the selected ROI is captured in full resolution. In some examples, a mobile device further comprises a second camera having a second FOV (FOV) and including a second image sensor configured to capture FOV, wherein the analysis of image data to select a ROI is performed by analysing image data of the second camera.

Systems and methods for zoom digital camera with automatic adjustable zoom field of view

Mobile handheld electronic devices such as smartphones, comprising a Wide camera for capturing Wide images with respective Wide fields of view (FOV), a Tele camera for capturing Tele images with respective Tele fields of view (FOV) smaller than FOV, and a processor configured to stitch a plurality of Wide images into a panorama image with a field of view FOV>FOVand to pin a Tele image to a given location within the panorama image to obtain a smart panorama image.

Systems and methods for obtaining a smart panoramic image

Cameras with panoramic scanning range comprising a folded digital camera in which an optical path folding element (OPFE) that folds a first optical path from an object or scene into a second optical path substantially parallel with an optical axis of a lens of the folded camera, the OPFE being rotatable around the lens optical axis, and systems incorporating such cameras.

Systems and methods for correcting point of view (POV) aberrations in scanning folded cameras and multi-cameras including such scanning folded cameras. In a Tele folded camera that includes an optical path folding element (OPFE) and an image sensor, the OPFE is tilted in one or two directions to direct the Tele folded camera towards a POV of a scene, a Tele image or a stream of Tele images is captured from the POV, the Tele image having POV aberrations and the POV aberrations are digitally corrected to obtain an aberration-corrected image or stream of images.

Point of view aberrations correction in a scanning folded camera

Systems and methods for obtaining a seamless, smooth transition between a Wide field of view (FOV) camera and a scanning Tele camera by correcting prism aberrations, matching Tele and Wide FOVs, localizing the associated Tele FOV, and zooming a Wide frame towards the localized Tele FOV.

Video support in a multi-aperture mobile camera with a scanning zoom camera

Systems and methods for obtaining a seamless, high resolution, large field of view image comprise capturing a plurality of Tele images in a scene using a scanning Tele camera, each captured Tele image having an associated Tele field of view FOV, retrieving a R image having a respective R image scene with a field of view greater than FOV, analyzing the R image for defining an order of scanning positions according to which the folded Tele camera scans a scene to capture the plurality of Tele images, aligning the plurality of Tele images and the R image to obtain aligned Tele images, and composing the aligned Tele images into an output image. The output image may include at least parts of the R image and may be one of a stream of output images.
