Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for dual imaging module cameras. For example, methods may include: receiving a zoom control signal, receiving an input image that was captured using a first lens assembly of a dual imaging module, and determining, based on the zoom control signal, an intermediate lens distortion profile. The intermediate lens distortion profile has values that are between corresponding values of a first lens distortion profile for the first lens assembly and a second lens distortion profile for a second lens assembly of the dual imaging module. The method may include applying a warp based on the intermediate lens distortion profile to the input image to obtain an output image and transmitting, storing, or displaying an image based on the output image. For example, the systems and methods may eliminate or mitigate discontinuities in lens distortion at a switch-over between lens assemblies of a dual imaging module.
