Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 17:
18. A method for processing image data, the method comprising:
receiving first image data of a physical environment captured by a first image sensor through a first aperture, wherein the first image data has a first depth of field;
receiving second image data of the physical environment captured by a second image sensor through a second aperture, wherein the second image data has a second depth of field, wherein the first image sensor is offset from the second image sensor by an offset distance;
generating, using at least the first image data and the second image data as inputs to at least one trained machine learning model, an image of the physical environment having a synthetic depth of field corresponding to a simulated aperture size without using a physical aperture having the simulated aperture size, wherein the synthetic depth of field is shallower than the first depth of field and the second depth of field, wherein the simulated aperture size is larger than the first aperture and the second aperture, and wherein the simulated aperture size is at least as large as the offset distance; and
outputting the image.
