    Abstract: A method of activating an object-specific action comprises obtaining, based on image analysis of acquired images, a plurality of values of a movement characteristic, each value representing a moving object detected in the acquired images; receiving an input signal from a user input device, wherein the input signal represents a value of the movement characteristic for the user input device; comparing the value of the movement characteristic for the user input device with each value of the movement characteristics for the moving objects, and determining the moving object corresponding to the closest value of movement characteristic as a selected moving object; and activating the object-specific action for the selected moving object.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining a focal-length setting of a lens mounted to a camera is disclosed. In a method for determining a focal-length of a lens mounted to a camera, a distorted image of a scene is captured. A distortion-correction function is applied on the distorted image or on a portion of the distorted image. A most representative distortion-correction function is identified and a current focal-length setting for the lens is identified by correlating the identification to a data compilation.

    Abstract: A method and assembly produce color images of a scene captured by an image sensor exposed to visible light as well as IR radiation. A first image is captured with a first proportion of an iris aperture covered by an IR-cut filter. A first amount of radiation captured in the first image is determined and a second image captured with a second proportion of the iris covered by the IR-cut filter. A second amount of radiation captured in the second image is determined and a proportion of IR radiation is calculated in the scene based on the first amount of light, the second amount of light, the first IR-cut filter proportion, and the second IR-cut filter proportion. An IR contribution is removed from an image by using the calculated proportion of IR radiation.
