The application discloses a method for adjusting a wide viewing angle, including: obtaining gray scale values of two pixels located in a same column and two adjacent rows; obtaining a view angle value of a wide view angle, and determining a target difference value according to the view angle value; and reducing a gray scale value of one of the two pixels and/or increasing a gray scale value of another one of the two pixels according to the target difference value, to perform wide view angle adjustment of a picture to be displayed, wherein a difference value between the gray scale values of the two pixels after the wide view angle adjustment is greater than or equal to the target difference value. The application also discloses a display panel and a computer readable storage medium.

The method employs a computer interconnected with a GPS transceiver and a distance measurement means and operatively interconnected with a digital camera, all provided on a moving vehicle, in order to acquire a plurality of geographic location related images. A first geographic position is obtained from the GPS transceiver and a plurality of distance measurements are then received before a second geographic position is taken. A photo request is generated after a pre-determined distance has been traveled and is transmitted to the digital camera. The camera takes a photo based on the request and the photos, photo requests, first and second positions and distance measurements are stored for post-processing. The post-processing determines a path traveled by the vehicle using the positions and distance measurements and assigns an accurate geographic location and orientation to each photo. The method is useful in building a database of geographically related images.

A characteristic point extraction unit extracts a characteristic point in an overlapping region of a plurality of component images picked up using a camera built in portable equipment and having pan angles or elevation angles different from each other. A self-position estimation unit estimates three-dimensional coordinate values of the characteristic point and three-dimensional coordinate values of a camera position, which are associated with each other, at the same time in two component images in which the camera positions are displaced from each other. A panoramic image generation unit adjusts, based on the estimated three-dimensional coordinate values of the camera position, the three-dimensional coordinate values of the characteristic point of the component image to correct the component image and combine a plurality of component images having pan angles or elevation angles different from each other to generate a synthesis image.

This data acquisition and measuring device for acquisition and measurement of geometric data for at least one motif associated with a glass for a spectacle frame, for the manufacture of ophthalmic lenses, similar or complementary to the glass, comprises a support capable of holding the glass, an illuminator for illuminating this support, a video imaging system for capturing images oriented towards the support and capable of capturing at least two images of the contour of the glass placed on the support, and a signal analyzer and processor that receive at the input each image captured by the video imaging system. The analyzer and processor is capable of measuring the distance from at least one point of the form contour of the glass to a reference plane based on said images.

A video monitoring support apparatus 10 provides support to make settings in a new monitoring camera in a video monitoring system in which discriminators are used to detect objects. The video monitoring support apparatus 10 includes a region acquisition unit 11 that acquires, from the video monitoring system, information regarding a discriminator application region that is set to an existing monitoring camera in order to detect an object with a discriminator, and a region setting unit 12 that uses the acquired information to set, to the video monitoring system, a discriminator application region of the new monitoring camera.

The present disclosure describes a method for creating data products in real-time with the aid of a ground station system. The method includes the steps of monitoring one or more communication links for newly captured sensor data and positional data of oblique images, saving the sensor data and positional data to one or more directories of one or more computer readable media, monitoring the one or more directories of one or more computer readable media for sensor data and positional data, processing the sensor data and positional data to create one or more data products for use by one or more mapping and exploitation systems responsive to the sensor data and positional data being saved in the one or more directories, and storing the one or more data products to one or more directories of one or more computer readable media.

A video synchronization apparatus and method by adding sync data to an ancillary data space of a video signal are provided. A sync data adding apparatus may include a sync data generator to generate sync data; and a sync data adder to add the sync data to an ancillary data space of a video signal.
