Abstract
Methods and systems for detecting frame tears are described. As one example, a mobile device may include at least one camera, a sensor, a co-processor, and an application processor. The co-processor is configured to generate a digital image including image data from the at least one camera and sensor data from the sensor. The co-processor is further configured to embed a frame identifier corresponding to the digital image at least two corner pixels of the digital image. The application processor is configured to receive the digital image from the co-processor, determine a first value embedded in a first corner pixel of the digital image, and determined a second value embedded in a second corner pixel of the digital image. The application processor is also configured to provide an output indicative of a validity of the digital image based on a comparison between the first value and the second value.
