    摘要: A vehicle photographic booth is provided that accommodates cameras with lenses with focal lengths that avoid wide angle distortion that is common in low end car photography. The photographic booth has an ovoid hemispherical dome shape with a camera mounted at the apex of the ovoid portion so as to accommodate longer focal length lenses. The overall dimension of the ovoid section of the dome for placement of a camera is determined by the available floor space of a user. The use of an enclosed ovoid hemispherical dome shape that rotates with respect to a stationary stage, or in the alternative a fixed enclosed ovoid hemispherical dome with a rotating stage allows for much less light to be needed as compared to a full open volume. An ovoid shape also provides a smaller fixed footprint than a full structure for an equal camera distance from a subject.

    摘要: There is provided a method of automatically landing a drone on a landing pad having thereon guiding-elements arranged in a pattern relative to a central region of the landing pad, comprising: receiving first image(s) captured by a camera of the drone, processing the first image(s) to compute a segmentation mask according to an estimate of a location of the landing pad, receiving second image(s) captured by the camera, processing the second image(s) according to the segmentation mask to compute a segmented region and extracting from the segmented region guiding-element(s), determining a vector for each of the extracted guiding-element(s), and aggregating the vectors to compute an estimated location of the central region of the landing pad, and navigating and landing the drone on the landing pad according to the estimated location of the central region of the landing pad.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a system and method for a vehicle radar inspection. A system for inspecting an assembled state of a radar sensor mounted in a vehicle may include a center portion configured to align the vehicle to a reference inspection position; a mobile terminal configured to connect with an external source of communication; a scan portion configured to photograph the radar sensor at a plurality of scan positions using a terahertz wave; and a server configured to match a plurality of scan images photographed by the scan portion, to detect a three-dimensional coordinate of the radar sensor, to transmit a sensor correction value through the mobile terminal, wherein the sensor correction value is determined based on an assembly tolerance that compares with a design plan of the vehicle, and to correct a sensor angle value of the radar sensor.

    摘要: A three dimensional imager which may be used in surgery comprises a single image sensor. First and second lens assemblies are distal to the sensor, and first and second optical wedges are positioned to angle an image their respective lens assembly onto the image sensor. Shutters or polarizers are disposed between each optical wedge and its corresponding lens assembly.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for measuring a distance to an object, be a device (100) having at least two cameras (104, 106), is described. One or more first images including the object are acquired by a first camera of the device and one or more first reference images are acquired by a second camera of the device, while the device is in a first position. One or more second images including the object and one or more second reference images are acquired by cameras of the device, while the device is in a second position, different from the first position. Based on the first and second reference images, information on the displacement of at least one camera of the device between the first and second position are determined. The distance from the device to the object is calculated based on the first and second images including the object and the determined information on the displacement of the at least one camera.
