    Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for incorporating a smoothness constraint for camera pose estimation. One method for robust camera pose estimation includes determining a first bounding box based on a previous frame, determining a second bounding box based on a current frame that is temporally subsequent to the previous frame, estimating the camera pose by minimizing a weighted sum of a camera pose function and a constraint function, where the camera pose function tracks a position and an orientation of the camera in time, and where the constraint function is based on coordinates of the first bounding box and coordinates of the second bounding box, and using the camera pose for navigating the vehicle. The method may further include generating an initial estimate of the camera pose is based on a Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor or an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU).

    Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for capturing an image. In one aspect an electronic camera apparatus includes an image sensor with a plurality of pixel regions. The apparatus further includes an exposure controller. The exposure controller determines, for each of the plurality of pixel regions, a corresponding exposure duration and a corresponding exposure start time. Each pixel region begins to integrate incident light starting at the corresponding exposure start time and continues to integrate light for the corresponding exposure duration. In some example embodiments, at least two of the corresponding exposure durations or at least two of the corresponding exposure start times are different in the image.
