More Information
Summary:A device may include a digital camera that includes a stereo camera pair of a first camera and a second camera, and a system control that is capable of turning the first camera and the second camera on and off separately. Additionally, the device may include a processor to receive a first image via the first camera, and detect a scene type associated with the first image. The device may also determine whether the scene type is amenable to stereo capture and perform parallax difference detection to detect whether the first image is capable of being resolved correctly. The device may perform stereo image capture of the first image and the second image via the stereo camera pair in response to a determination that the first image is capable of being resolved correctly.
