Canon filed 1 patent in Streaming technology.
The application covers stereo fisheye virtual reality Streaming, describing technology that optimizes frame rates through selective processing of left and right eye images. This approach enables smoother real-time delivery of 360-degree video content.
Canon's Streaming patent tackles a core challenge in live VR broadcasting: maintaining smooth frame rates when processing power falls short. The system applies distortion correction selectively to stereoscopic images, choosing to process one eye's view fully while allowing the other to degrade in quality rather than skipping frames altogether. This approach keeps the video stream flowing consistently during real-time 360-degree broadcasts, even when the Hardware can't handle full correction for both left and right eye images simultaneously. The technology represents a pragmatic compromise, sacrificing perfect stereoscopic fidelity to preserve temporal smoothness in live viewing experiences.
