摘要： A stereoscopic imager system, comprising: a sensor array comprising a first plurality of photosensors and a second plurality of photosensors spaced apart from the first plurality of photosensors by a gap, the first plurality of photosensors and the second plurality of photosensors being configured to detect ambient light in a scene; a moving component coupled to the sensor array and operable to move the sensor array between a first position and a second position within a full rotational image capturing cycle; and a system controller coupled to the sensor array and the moving component. The system controller can be configured to: move a field of view of a sensor array by instructing the moving component to capture a first image of an object in the scene with the first plurality of photosensors from a first perspective at the first position, and to capture a second image of the scene of the object in the scene with the second plurality of photosensors from a second perspective at the second position; and calculate, based on the first image and the second image, a distance to the object using an optical baseline defined by the gap.

摘要： The disclosure relates to assessing operation of a camera. In one instance, a volume of space corresponding to a first vehicle in an environment of a second vehicle may be identified using sensor data generated by a LIDAR system of the second vehicle. An image captured by a camera of the second vehicle may be identified. The camera may have an overlapping field of view of the LIDAR system at a time when the sensor data was generated. An area of the image corresponding to the volume of space may be identified and processed in order to identify a vehicle light. The operation of the camera may be assessed based on the processing.

摘要： In a computer-implemented method and system for capturing the condition of a structure, the structure is scanned with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Data collected by the UAV corresponding to points on a surface of a structure is received and a 3D point cloud is generated for the structure, where the 3D point cloud is generated based at least in part on the received UAV data. A 3D model of the surface of the structure is reconstructed using the 3D point cloud.

摘要： A system uses range and Doppler velocity measurements from a lidar system and images from a video system to estimate a six degree-of-freedom trajectory of a target. The system estimates this trajectory in two stages: a first stage in which the range and Doppler measurements from the lidar system along with various feature measurements obtained from the images from the video system are used to estimate first stage motion aspects of the target (i.e., the trajectory of the target); and a second stage in which the images from the video system and the first stage motion aspects of the target are used to estimate second stage motion aspects of the target. Once the second stage motion aspects of the target are estimated, a three-dimensional image of the target may be generated.

摘要： A system aligns a 3D model of an environment with image frames of the environment and generates a visualization interface that displays a portion of the 3D model and a corresponding image frame. The system receives LIDAR data collected in the environment and generates a 3D model based on the LIDAR data. For each image frame, the system aligns the image frame with the 3D model. After aligning the image frames with the 3D model, when the system presents a portion of the 3D model in an interface, it also presents an image frame that corresponds to the portion of the 3D model.

摘要： An electronic imaging device and method for image capture are described. The imaging device includes a camera configured to obtain image information of a scene and that may be focused on a region of interest in the scene. The imaging device also includes a LIDAR unit configured to obtain depth information of at least a portion of the scene at specified scan locations of the scene. The imaging device is configured to detect an object in the scene and provides specified scan locations to the LIDAR unit. The camera is configured to capture an image with an adjusted focus based on depth information, obtained by the LIDAR unit, associated with the detected object.

摘要： A system monitors moveable objects using sensor data captured using one or more sensor mounted on a location of the moveable object. The system uses a machine learning based model to predict a risk score indicating a degree of risk associated with the moveable object. The system determines the action to be taken to mitigate the risk based on the risk score. The system transmits information describing the moveable object based on the sensor data to a remote monitoring system. The system may determine the amount of information transmitted, the rate at which information is transmitted, and the type of information displayed based on the risk score. The system performs dignity preserving transformations of the sensor data before transmitting or storing the data.
