    摘要: A method of managing power usage of a depth imaging system including an image sensor having an array of pixels configured to detect light incident from a scene and an optical encoder configured to modulate the incident light detected by the pixels in accordance with an angle of incidence of the incident light. The method includes operating the system in a lower power mode corresponding to a first power consumption level, including capturing, with the pixels, image data of the scene having angle-dependent information encoded therein by the optical encoder, and identifying, based on the angle-dependent information, signature information in the image data indicative of a detection of an object within a specified depth range. The method also includes, in response to identifying the signature information, transitioning to operating the system in a higher power mode corresponding to a second power consumption level higher than the first power consumption level.

    摘要: A photographic paddle and process of use thereof are provided. The photographic paddle is used for photographing interior or close-up vehicle exterior region features of a subject vehicle, and to rapidly produce high-quality images that are reflection-free and glare-free. The photographic paddle has the ability to produce wide-angle high-quality images and stereoscopic three-dimensional images that are reflection-free and glare-free. The photographic paddle has additional utility to photograph interior and close-up vehicle exterior region features of a subject vehicle in-situ in a densely arranged inventory lot without having to move the vehicle to and from a staging area. The photographic paddle has further utility as a versatile process that is able to rapidly adapt to changing photographic conditions as the photographic paddle moves relative to vehicle features to be photographed, ensuring capture and production of high-quality, reflection-free, and glare-free images without having to set the camera prior to each image capture.
