    摘要: Described is a method for processing image data to determine if a portion of the image data is affected due to sunlight. In some implementations, image data is sent to an image data store and camera parameters are sent to a radiance detection service. The radiance detection service, upon receiving the camera parameters, retrieves the image data, converts the image data to gray-scale and processes the image data based on the camera parameters to determine a radiance value for the camera. The radiance value may be compared to a baseline radiance value to determine if sunlight is represented in the image data. In some implementations, a baseline model may be developed for the camera and used to cancel out any pixels of the image data that are overexposed under normal or baseline conditions. Likewise, a foreground model may be generated to detect any objects in the image data for which corresponding pixel values should not be considered for determining if sunlight is represented in the image data.

    摘要: Discrete frequencies and time slots of operation are assigned to each of a plurality of time-of-flight cameras. Where two time-of-flight cameras having overlapping fields of view, whether the time-of-flight cameras are operating at the same frequency or time slot is determined by calculating ratios of zero-value pixels to total numbers of pixels for each depth image captured by the time-of-flight cameras over a selected interval. If the time-of-flight cameras operate at the same frequency or time slot, a plot of the ratios of depth images captured using one time-of-flight camera is erratically sinusoidal. Another time-of-flight camera causing the interference may be identified among time-of-flight cameras operating at the frequency or time slot, based on areas of interest that overlap with the time-of-flight camera, or based on a time at which the time-of-flight cameras began capturing depth images, as compared to a time at which the interference is observed.
