Abstract:
1. A method of video capture synchronization, comprising: monitoring a time of receipt of a start-of-frame indication associated with at least one frame from a first image sensor at a controller; monitoring a time of receipt of a start-of-frame indication associated with at least one frame from a second image sensor at the controller; calculating a time difference between the time of receipt of the at least one frame from the first image sensor and the time of receipt associated with the at least one frame from the second image sensor; synchronizing image capture integration periods associated with the first and second image sensors by altering a frame period determining parameter associated with at least one of the first image sensor or the second image sensor from an original value to an adjusted value to decrease the time difference if the time difference is greater than or equal to a frame synchronization hysteresis threshold value; and re-setting the frame period determining parameter value to be equal at the first and second image sensors if the time difference is less than the frame synchronization hysteresis threshold value.
