Wildlife camera with optical zoom capability
The present invention generally pertains to a motion sensing camera for monitoring and photographing wildlife and more specifically pertains to such a wildlife camera with optical zoom capability that allows one to photograph game animals from a greater distance, reducing the likelihood of alarming game animals being photographed/filmed. The wildlife surveillance camera also optionally comprises EMF and/or RF shielding material that substantially reduces the electromagnetic field generated by said camera.
Translucent imaging systems and related methods
An imaging system that is translucent can be achieved by placing an image sensor (204) at one of more edges or periphery of a translucent window (202). A small fraction of light from the outside scene scatters off imperfections (218) in the translucent window (202) and reach the peripheral image sensor (204). Based on appropriate calibration of the response of point sources (206) from the outside scene, the full scene can be reconstructed computationally from the peripherally scattered light (210, 212). The technique can be extended to color, multi-spectral, light-field, 3D, and polarization selective imaging. Applications can include surveillance, imaging for autonomous agents, microscopy, etc.
BIOMETRIC DETERMINATION DEVICE AND BIOMETRIC DETERMINATION METHOD
A biometric determination device includes a detection unit configured to detect a face from an image captured; an acquisition unit configured to acquire information on the temperature of a face region, which is a region in which a face is detected by the detection unit, and the temperature of an extra-facial region, which is a region around the face region; and a determination unit configured to determine on the basis of information acquired by the acquisition unit that a face that is detected is a living body when the temperature of the face region is higher than the temperature of the extra-facial region by greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, and that a face that is detected is not a living body when the temperature of the face region is not higher than the temperature of the extra-facial region by greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold.
IMAGING DEVICE, IMAGING METHOD, AND IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM
The imaging device includes a multiple-property lens that includes a first area having a first property and a second area having a second property different from the first property, an image sensor in which a first light receiving element 25A having a first microlens and a second light receiving element 25B having a second microlens having a different image forming magnification from the first microlens are two-dimensionally arranged, and a crosstalk removal processing unit that removes a crosstalk component from each of a first crosstalk image acquired from the first light receiving element 25A of the image sensor and a second crosstalk image acquired from the second light receiving element to generate a first image and a second image respectively having the first property and the second property of the multiple-property lens.
Method and apparatus for enhanced digital imaging
Method and apparatus are disclosed in which an optical image connector is moved from a second position to a first position. Light is received from a first direction and accordingly forming of a first optical image on an image sensor is caused using a first optical input. The optical image connector is moved from the first position to the second position. Light is received by the optical image connector from a second optical input. The second optical input is in a direction at least 90 degrees different than the first direction. A second optical image corresponding to the received light is formed on the image sensor by the optical image connector.
