摘要： Image acquisition and analysis systems for efficiently generating high resolution geo-referenced spectral imagery of a region of interest. In some examples, aerial spectral imaging systems for remote sensing of a geographic region, such as a vegetative landscape are disclosed for monitoring the development and health of the vegetative landscape. In some examples photogrammetry processes are applied to a first set of image frames captured with a first image sensor having a first field of view to generate external orientation data and surface elevation data and the generated external orientation data is translated into external orientation data for other image sensors co-located on the same apparatus for generating geo-referenced images of images captured by the one or more other image sensors.

摘要： A method of performing better controlled switching between day mode and night mode imaging in a camera, where those illuminants contributing to the ambient light in day mode are considered when determining the visible light during night mode. Characteristic values of those illuminants are mixed with several levels of IR light to simulate the presence of an IR illuminator, and these characteristic values are compared to corresponding values derived from the color components of the ambient light in night mode in order to determine the IR proportion, and from that the amount of visible light.

摘要： Techniques are generally described for color filter array interpolation of image data. A first frame of image data representing a plurality of pixels arranged in a grid may be received. A low pass filter may be used to generate a first luminance value for a first non-green pixel of the plurality of pixels. A first chrominance value of the first non-green pixel may be determined based at least in part on a combination of at least a chrominance value of a first green pixel located adjacent to the first non-green pixel and a chrominance value of a second green pixel located adjacent to the first non-green pixel. A second luminance value for the first non-green pixel may be determined based on a combination of the first chrominance value and the first luminance value. Output values for the first non-green pixel may be determined based at least in part on the second luminance value.

摘要： An image-capturing device includes a sensor, a visible-light-pixel driver, and a non-visible-light-pixel driver. The sensor is configured to have a plurality of visible light pixels having sensitivity to visible light and a plurality of non-visible light pixels having sensitivity to non-visible light. The visible-light-pixel driver controls light exposure to the visible light pixels and a reading operation for charges generated by photoelectric conversion of the visible light pixels resulting from the light exposure. The non-visible-light-pixel driver performs the light exposure to previously-set every two or more non-visible light pixels at the time of the light exposure to the non-visible light pixels and the reading operation, sums the charges generated by the photoelectric conversion of the two or more non-visible light pixels resulting from the light exposure, and creates the distance image on the basis of the summed charges.

摘要： Camera device structures and methods of manufacturing them are disclosed. A sensor core includes a housing, a camera sensor, an integrated readout circuit, a controller (e.g., a processor unit for image processing), and a ceramic package base. In some examples, the sensor core includes a semiconductor-based micro machined cavity structure (e.g., based on an enclosure formed via the housing) with an integrated lens of the camera core package. The disclosure provides for a camera sensing core package with high reflection coating around walls of the housing, apart from the bottom ceramic base, which allows for maximum or rejection of stray radiation. The thermally balanced properties of the structure provide for improved thermal stability of the camera core of the device, while ensuring near zero thermal gradient across the camera sensor, which may result in improved performance of the camera sensing core.
