Abstract:
An illumination system for a medical suite comprises a light assembly comprising at least one illumination source configured to selectively direct a light emission in a region of the surgical suite. The system further comprises an imager configured to capture image data in a field of view in the medical suite. A controller is in communication with the light assembly and the imager. The controller is configured to detect a location of the marker in the image data and control the light assembly to direct the light emission within the region based on the location of the marker.
Abstract:
An illumination system for a lighting assembly comprises a light assembly configured to selectively illuminate an operating region in a surgical suite and a plurality of light sources positioned within the light assembly and configured to emit light. The system further comprises at least one imager configured to capture image data and a controller. The controller is configured to scan the image data for at least one region of interest comprising at least one of a shaded region and a contaminated region and identify a location of the region of interest in the operating region. The controller is further configured to control the light assembly to activate at least one of the light sources to emit light on the region of interest.

Abstract:
An imaging system and method for a vehicle is provided, and includes an imager configured to image a scene external and forward of the vehicle and to generate image data corresponding to the acquired images. A controller is configured to receive the image data and analyze an optical flow between successive image frames to compute a relative motion between the imager and the imaged scene, wherein the optical flow includes a pattern of apparent motion of objects of interest in the successive image frames.
Abstract:
A system for adjusting a position of one or more exterior vehicle lights includes an accelerometer providing data indicating changes in vehicle pitch; a vehicle-mounted camera providing additional data indicating changes in vehicle pitch; and a control unit receiving the data from both the accelerometer and the vehicle-mounted camera, processing the data, and communicating a command to a vehicle light leveling actuator based on data from the accelerometer and the vehicle-mounted camera.
Abstract:
A method and system are provided to image an external scene by employing a custom image sensor. The custom image sensor may use a GRRB array to filter the images of oncoming and preceding vehicle taillights captured by a vehicle camera. The method and system may also calculate a GRRB color metric for use in the custom image sensor by performing interpolation on a number of color channels, summing the brightness values for each of the color channels interpolated, normalizing each of the brightness values, and converting the normalized brightness values from an RGB scale to a linear scale of non-red to red.
Abstract:
A dynamic imaging system is disclosed. The dynamic imaging system may comprise one or more imager, one or more input device, a controller, and/or a display. Each imager may be operable to capture a video stream having a field of view. In some embodiments, the controller may articulate the imager or crop the field of view to change the field of view in response to signals from the one or more input devices. For example, the signal may relate to the vehicle's speed. In other embodiments, the controller may apply a warp to the field of view. The warp may be applied in response to signals from the one or more input devices. In yet other embodiments, video streams from one or more imagers may be stitched together by the controller. Further, the controller may likewise move the stitch line in response to signals from the or more input devices.
Abstract:
A display system for a vehicle includes a first camera in connection with the vehicle. The first camera outputs unprocessed image data. A second camera outputs a first processed image data. A display controller is in communication with the first camera via a conductive interface and the second camera via a wireless interface. The controller is configured to receive the unprocessed image data from the first camera and receive the first processed image data from the second camera. The controller further generates second processed image data from the unprocessed image data and selectively outputs the first processed image data and the second processed image data to a vehicle display device.
Abstract:
A system for capturing and displaying images may comprise a rearview assembly having WIFI capability; and a WIFI hub removably securable to a surface, the WIFI hub comprising at least one imager capable of capturing images of a scene. The WIFI hub may be capable of transmitting image data from the captured images to the rearview assembly. The rearview assembly may be capable of displaying images from the image data from the captured images.
