Abstract:
1. A monoscopic low-power mobile device comprising: a single-sensor camera sensor module operable to capture an image and having an autofocusing sub-module operable to determine a best focus position by moving a lens through an entire focusing range via a focusing process and to select the focus position with a maximum focus value when capturing the image; a depth map generator assembly operable to: the depth map generator assembly including a bilinear filter configured to generate the pixel depth value for the pixel based at least in part on depth values for each corner pixel, the depth values for each corner pixel weighted based on a ratio between a distance of the pixel to a respective corner pixel and a total distance of the pixel to each corner pixel, the bilinear filter configured to generate the pixel depth value during the second-stage; and an image pair generator module operable to create a missing second view from the captured image to create three dimensional (3D) stereo left and right views.
