An electronic device is provided that includes a first camera with a first field of view configured to capture a first image, a second camera with a second field of view configured to capture a second image, and control circuitry configured to output stereoscopic content based on the first and second images. The control circuitry can include image signal processors configured to process the first and second images, additional processors for performing stereo rectification and image stabilization on the first and second images, and a compression block for combining images output from the additional processors.

Stereoscopic capture using cameras with different fields of view

Techniques are disclosed relating to biometric authentication, e.g., facial recognition. In some embodiments, a device is configured to verify that image data from a camera unit exhibits a pseudo-random sequence of image capture modes and/or a probing pattern of illumination points (e.g., from lasers in a depth capture mode) before authenticating a user based on recognizing a face in the image data. In some embodiments, a secure circuit may control verification of the sequence and/or the probing pattern. In some embodiments, the secure circuit may verify frame numbers, signatures, and/or nonce values for captured image information. In some embodiments, a device may implement one or more lockout procedures in response to biometric authentication failures. The disclosed techniques may reduce or eliminate the effectiveness of spoofing and/or replay attacks, in some embodiments.
