Canon filed 1 patent in H1 2026, focused on Streaming.
The application covers stereo fisheye virtual reality Streaming 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.
In the Streaming category, 1 patent addresses the challenge of maintaining consistent frame rates during live 360-degree video delivery. The application describes a system that handles distortion correction for stereoscopic images by dynamically deciding which eye's image to prioritize based on how much processing time remains within a given frame. Rather than dropping frames when processing resources run short, the system allows a temporary reduction in quality for one eye, keeping the stream continuous at the cost of momentarily imperfect depth perception.
