Lens cover detection during spherical visual content capture

Abstract:

A spherical image capture device may include two lenses, which may be protected by lens covers. During capture of visual content, usage of the lens covers may be checked to determine whether one or both of the lenses are covered by lens covers. Based on one or both of the lenses being covered by lens covers, an alarm may be generated to notify the user about the lens covers.
