Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An object located within an image foreground relative to image content within a field of view of at least one camera lens is identified, using image processing module, as an image obstruction. Responsive to identifying the image obstruction, points of view of at least one camera lens are determined that provide image content portions of the image content that, in combination, yield a complete image of the image content without the image obstruction located within the image foreground. The image content portions are combined to yield the complete image of the image content without the image obstruction located within the foreground. The combined complete image is stored to a memory.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system, comprising: a memory; a processor programmed to: identify an object located within an image foreground relative to image content within a field of view of at least one camera lens as an image obstruction; determine, responsive to identifying the image obstruction, a plurality of points of view of the at least one camera lens that provide a plurality of image content portions of the image content that in combination yield a complete image of th…
