Embodiment Construction

[0012] The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for rendering warped images of scenes. In general, techniques are disclosed to provide a warped image of a scene such that the image of the environment in the scene appears seamless from the point of view to the real environment on the display. According to one or more implementations, displaying the warped image may provide a more realistic view of the real environment on the electronic device.

[0013] According to one or more implementations, the rear camera of the electronic device may capture an image of the view of the real environment. A spatial relationship between the viewpoint and the electronic device, and a spatial relationship between the camera and the display of the electronic device can be determined. A warping function may be applied to an image based on a spatial relationship. The warped image can then be presented on a front-facing display on the electronic device such t...

Abstract

Presenting an image of a scene may include capturing an image of a scene by a camera of an electronic device, wherein the electronic device comprises the camera and a display, and wherein the camera and the display have a first spatial relationship, determining a second spatial relationship between a viewpoint and the display of the electronic device, warping the image to obtain an image of a first portion of the scene based on the first spatial relationship and the second spatial relationship, and presenting the warped image on the display, wherein, from the viewpoint, the image of the firstportion of the scene is substantially contiguous with a second portion of the scene visible outside an edge of the electronic device.

Description

Background technique [0001] This disclosure relates generally to the field of digital image processing, and more particularly to the field of providing camera-based transparent displays. [0002] Many multifunctional electronic devices, such as smartphones and tablet computers, include cameras and display devices that allow users to preview and view images captured by the cameras using the displays. When using a conventional multifunction device in preview mode, the image displayed on the screen represents an image from the viewpoint of the camera. Therefore, when the user holds the device in front of the scene and looks at the display, the image on the screen does not line up with the scene behind it. That is, the user's point of view is different from the angle of the lens that captures the image, resulting in a disconnect between the user's point of view and the real environment. That is, for the user, the image may appear in the wrong position and in the wrong scale. C...
