    摘要: In a process of coding multi-viewpoint images, the process is performed at a high speed while the amount of data is suppressed. A distance estimating unit that estimates a distance from a camera array including a plurality of camera units up to a subject, a determination unit that determines the number of first camera units independently coding image data among the plurality of camera units and an arrangement of the first camera units in the camera array based on the distance estimated by the distance estimating unit, and a control unit that operates each of the camera units as the first camera unit or as a second camera unit coding image data of the own camera unit by referring to image data of the first camera unit based on the number and the arrangement of the first camera units determined by the determination unit are included.

    摘要: A computer vision camera unit comprising first and second pairs, of image capture assemblies, both of which have an approximately same orientation to a first axis. The first and second pairs are optically focused to capture first and second fields of view that, at least, overlap each other. Providing the first and second pairs with imager chips of differing light sensitivity permits high dynamic range to be realized. Having the second field of view within the first field of view permits specialization, between the first and second pairs, similar to the roles of peripheral and foveal vision, found in biological stereo vision systems. The image capture assemblies can be organized in a rectangular configuration that implies third and fourth pairs, orthogonal to the first and second pairs. The orthogonal but interlocking nature, of the first and second pairs in relation to the third and fourth pairs, enables an autocalibration technique.

    摘要: Detection of three dimensional obstacles using a system mountable in a host vehicle including a camera connectible to a processor. Multiple image frames are captured in the field of view of the camera. In the image frames, an imaged feature is detected of an object in the environment of the vehicle. The image frames are portioned locally around the imaged feature to produce imaged portions of the image frames including the imaged feature. The image frames are processed to compute a depth map locally around the detected imaged feature in the image portions. Responsive to the depth map, it is determined if the object is an obstacle to the motion of the vehicle.

    摘要: A device for extracting depth information according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a light outputting unit for outputting IR (InfraRed) light; a light inputting unit for inputting light reflected from an object after outputting from the light outputting unit; a light adjusting unit for adjusting the angle of the light so as to radiate the light into a first area including the object, and then for adjusting the angle of the light so as to radiate the light into a second area; and a controlling unit for estimating the motion of the object by using at least one of the lights between the light inputted to the first area and the light inputted to the second area.

    摘要: A dual projection system can align displayed images using an alignment pattern. The alignment pattern can be used to modify part of an image content frame of an image data sequence. Two image data sequences can be spatially aligned based on the modification to part of the image content frame using the alignment pattern. An image content frame may be warped and displayed. The displayed warped image content frame can be captured. A set of transformation vectors can be determined based on the captured image content frame and alignment image data. Stored transformation data can be updated using the set of transformation vectors and the updated transformation data can be used to spatially align two image data sequences.

    摘要: A camera apparatus, e.g., a stereoscopic camera apparatus, includes a slideable filter plate inserted into a slot in a dual element mounting plate. The slideable filter plate includes a plurality of selectable pairs of filter mounting positions and changes between pairs of filter mounting positions may be performed without altering camera alignments. Each pair of filter mounting positions includes a right eye filter mounting position and a left eye filter mounting position. Each pair of filter mounting positions in the slideable filter plate includes a pair of filters or no filters.
