    摘要: A method of autofocusing a camera during a zooming operation is disclosed, comprising zooming the lens to a first zoom position (S1), measuring a first object distance from the camera to an object on which to focus (S2), determining a first focus start position using the first object distance (S3), performing a first autofocusing operation using the first focus start position as a starting point (S4), thereby determining a first determined focus position. A first lookup object distance is determined based on the first determined focus position (S5). A first correction factor is calculated as a ratio between the first lookup object distance and the first object distance (S6). The lens is zoomed to a second zoom position (S13), and a second focus position is determined (S17) using a second object distance (S16) calculated as a product of the first object distance and a second correction factor based on a ratio of depths of field at the second and first zoom positions (S15).

    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed. The method may include determining a current zoom value of a camera and determining a first modulation transfer function of a transparent dome of the camera. The method may include applying a first low-pass filter to an image captured by the camera based on the current zoom value and the first modulation transfer function of the transparent dome.

    摘要: A power control system (102) for controlling operation of a first battery-powered device (104) positioned at a remote location from a camera (106) is disclosed. The power control system (102) includes a receiving module (312), a retrieving module (314), a comparison module (316), and a transmission module (318). The receiving module (312) is configured to receive at least one of a pan angle and a tilt angle of the camera (106) indicative of a field of view. The retrieving module (314) is configured to retrieve a position of the first battery-powered device (104). The comparison module (316) is configured to compare the pan angle and the tilt angle with the position of the first battery-powered device (104), and determine whether the first battery-powered device (104) is positioned within the field of view of the camera (106) based on the comparison. The transmission module (318) is configured to transmit instructions to control power consumption of the first battery-powered device (104), based on the determination.

    摘要: A monitoring camera arranged to monitor a scene and a method of controlling camera settings for a monitoring camera arranged to monitor a scene wherein images are captured of different parts of the scene by altering a field of view of the camera, wherein data defining a camera settings control area within the scene is accessed, and it is determined if there is an overlapping region between a current field of view of the camera and the camera settings control area, and if there is an overlapping region, camera settings are controlled based on the overlapping region.

    摘要: A device and a method for buffering a graphical overlay to be applied to an image is disclosed. A graphical overlay description specifying content, size, and position in the image of a graphical element of the graphical overlay is obtained, and the graphical overlay is divided into a plurality of sequential line fragments. For each line fragment it is determined, using the graphical overlay description, whether the line fragment overlaps a part of the graphical element. On condition that the line fragment overlaps a part of the graphical element, information representing the part of the graphical element is buffered in a buffer memory for the line fragment. On condition that the line fragment does not overlap any part of the graphical element, a run-length coding representing identical pixels is buffered in the buffer memory for the line fragment.
