Patent ID: 8456515

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a first image sensor configured to capture a first image comprising a plurality of pixels arranged in a plurality of rows and columns; a second image sensor spaced apart from the first image sensor, the second image sensor configured to capture a second image comprising a plurality of pixels arranged in a plurality of rows and columns; at least one controller configured to generate a one-dimensional mapping for the first sensor by summing a value of each pixel in each row or column of the first image and to generate a one-dimensional mapping for a second sensor by summing a value of each pixel in each row or column of the second image; determine a maximum one-dimensional cross correlation of a portion of the first image and a portion of the second image, the maximum one-dimensional cross correlation determined based on a correlation of data in a range of the one-dimensional mapping of the first sensor and the one-dimensional mapping of the second sensor, and determine a mismatch offset corresponding to the maximum one-dimensional cross correlation; a diversity combine module to combine image data from the first and second image sensors; and an image processing module configured to process combined image data from the diversity combine module.
