Abstract
Devices, methods, and non-transitory program storage devices are disclosed to provide enhanced images in multi-camera systems, e.g., by using information from images captured by cameras with different properties in terms of optics and/or sensors. In one embodiment, the techniques comprise: obtaining a first image from a first image capture device, wherein the first image has a first field of view (FOV) and a first set of quality characteristics; obtaining a second image from a second image capture device, wherein the second image has a second FOV and a second set of quality characteristics, and wherein the second FOV partially overlaps the first FOV; obtaining a neural network that produces a modified second image having a modified second set of quality characteristics determined by the neural network attempting to match the first set of quality characteristics; and generating an output image based, at least in part, on the modified second image.
