Abstract
A cross fader circuit that receives first raw image data and second raw image data and outputs blended raw image data. The cross fader circuit includes a first scaling circuit, a second scaling circuit, and an alpha blender. The first scaling circuit downscales first raw image data captured by a first sensor with a first field of view to match a size of a blending window. The second scaling circuit upscales second raw image data to match the size of a canvas window that encloses the blending window. The second raw image data may be a cropped version of raw image data captured by a second sensor of a second field of view wider than the first field of view. An alpha blender circuit generates a blended raw image data matching the size of the canvas window from the downscaled first raw image data and upscaled second raw image data.
