Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of computation and covers methods to achieve automatic optical focus on an imaging system, by evaluating sharpness of images obtained for different focus distances. The method for optimizing focus of an optical system passively (100) fundamentally comprises the following steps of; discretizing optical positions (focus distances) w.r.t precision requirements; initializing idle counter to zero, going to initial optical position, initializing best position to current position, clearing sharpness array; calculating correspondence in 2-tuple format; adding sharpness value to sharpness array; calculating longest increasing subsequence on sharpness array; checking if the longest increasing subsequence length increases; clearing idle counter; setting best position to current position (and checking if current position has better quality than best position if necessary); incrementing idle counter; checking if termination threshold is reached; checking if the current position corresponds to the end of discrete optical positions if the termination threshold is not reached; driving motors to the next position; optionally improving the best position; going to the best position and terminate.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a mobile terminal and controlling method thereof, by which autofocus can be quickly performed based on a distance from a subject. The present invention includes a camera configured to photograph a subject, a first sensing unit configured to detect a spaced distance from the subject, and a controller controlling the camera to focus on the subject according to the spaced distance from the subject.
Abstract:
Autofocusing is performed in response to a weighted sum of previous blur difference depth estimates after being adaptively fitted at each focus adjustment iteration. Variance is also determined across both past and present estimations providing a confidence measure on the present focus position for the given picture. In one embodiment focus adjustment are repeated until the variance is sufficiently low as to indicate confidence that a proper focus has been attained. The method increases accuracy and speed of focusing by utilizing previous depth estimates while adapting the matching data to overcome distortion, such as due to saturation, cut-off and noise.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, the methods and apparatuses display a first content on a flat display surface within a spherical display; simultaneously display a second content on a spherical display surface within the spherical display; and scroll through the second content based on instructions while displaying the first content, wherein the spherical display surface is imposed over the flat display surface such that the first content and the second content are distinctly and simultaneously viewed.
Abstract:
A method for correcting defects based on "virtual" lenslets is performed by first capturing a primary image with a photo-detector array at a primary position and associating a primary set of discrete portions of the primary image with one or more defined virtual lenslets of a lens. The photo-detector array is then moved to another position and a second image is captured by the photo-detector array at the other position and another set of discrete portions of the other image are associated with the one or more defined virtual lenslets of the lens. A volumetric image is then assembled from those virtual lenslet associated portions of the primary and the other image that have relatively sharper focuses.
Abstract:
A scene is imaged by moving an optical lens relative to an image sensing surface (such as film or a pixel array) synchronously with exposing different portions of the image sensing surface. The synchronous actions are preferably adaptable to the scene being imaged, so objects at different object distances are focused at different times and exposed to different portions of the sensing surface at different times within an exposure frame period. Exposure time for the different portions of the sensor may be varied according to speed or brightness of the different objects in the scene to be imaged, as detected at the camera by measuring apparatus similar to auto focus distance measuring apparatus. A camera and a program of computer readable instructions are also detailed. Alternatives to moving the lens relative to the image sensing surface include changing a shape of the lens.
Abstract:
A pop up prism camera (10) having a pop up prism lens assembly (11). A first lens assembly (14), a second lens assembly (18), and a prism assembly (21) are moved in relationship to a camera housing (12) controlled by a cam tube (20). The prism assembly (21) projects outside the camera housing (12) when the pop up prism camera (10) is in an operational configuration. A prism (100) of the prism assembly (21) redirects an optical path (48). A non-angled portion (44) of a first cam groove (30) causes the prism assembly (21) to remain fixed relative to the camera housing (12) while continued rotation of the cam tube (20) allows the first lens assembly (14) and the second lens assembly (18) to continue to move to accomplish a lens zoom function.
