US Patent 8937646 Stereo imaging using disparate imaging devices

Stereo imaging can be provided on an electronic device without the need for two matched, high resolution, large format cameras. In various embodiments, two or more cameras of disparate types can be used to capture stereoscopic images. Various processing algorithms can be used to adjust aspects such as the effective pixel size and depth of focus in order to provide for sufficient information to generate three-dimensional images without significant artifacts resulting from differences in the mismatched cameras.
