An augmented reality AR device may be communicatively connected to a remote network management platform configured to support a managed network. The AR device may capture an image of a real object in the field of view of an imaging component of the AR device. The real object may be recognized as a known managed object of the managed network. The AR device may also concurrently determine context information indicating a location or physical environment. The AR device may then transmit an identifier of the known managed object and the context information in a message to the management platform. In response, the AR device may receive data associated with the known managed. The AR device may then display a virtual object in a virtual space superimposed on the captured image of the real object, where the virtual object and the virtual space are based on the received management data.

An electronic device and one or more control methods thereof are provided. In one example, the electronic device may include a display device, one or more imaging devices, and a signal processing device. The display device may include a display panel and a non-display area at an edge of the display panel, the non-display area having one or more light-passing structures. Each of the one or more imaging devices may correspond to one of the one or more light-passing structures. Further, each of the one or more imaging devices may be disposed in an internal space of the electronic device. The signal processing device may be connected to each of the display device and the one or more imaging devices. The electronic device may increase an actual screen ratio of a rectangular image displayed on a user-oriented side of the electronic device.

A device comprising a circuitry configured to obtain a sequence of digital images from an image sensor; select a region of interest within a digital image of the sequence of digital images; perform motion compensation on the region of interest to obtain a motion compensated region of interest based on motion information obtained from the sequence of digital images and a predefined accumulated time interval; define a mask pattern based on the compensated region of interest; apply the mask pattern to an electronic light valve.

A vehicular camera includes an imager printed circuit board and a lens having a plurality of optical elements. The lens is held in optical alignment with an imager at the imager printed circuit board via a dual cure one-part, filled adhesive that in its uncured state has an epoxy resin. The adhesive is both UV-curable and thermal-curable. A flexible electrical ribbon cable electrically connects circuitry of the imager printed circuit board with additional circuitry of the vehicular camera. Image data captured by the imager is provided to the additional circuitry of the vehicular camera via the flexible electrical ribbon cable. The additional circuitry includes at least a processor for processing image data captured by the imager and provided to the additional circuitry via the flexible electrical ribbon cable. The vehicular camera, when installed and used in a vehicle, captures image data for use by a vision system of the vehicle.

Methods and systems are described for new paradigms for user interaction with an unmanned aerial vehicle (referred to as a flying digital assistant or FDA) using a portable multifunction device (PMD) such as smart phone. In some embodiments, a user may control image capture from an FDA by adjusting the position and orientation of a PMD. In other embodiments, a user may input a touch gesture via a touch display of a PMD that corresponds with a flight path to be autonomously flown by the FDA.

The present invention provides methods, systems, and apparatus for generating panoramic aerial images. An image capturing device is coupled to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs) via a carrier configured to allow the image capturing device to rotate around one, two, or three axes relative to the UAV. To generate a panoramic image, the UAV is brought to hover or remain substantially stationary near a predetermined location. While the UAV is hovering over the predetermined position, the carrier causes the image capturing device to rotate around a first axis while stabilizing the image capturing device with respect to at least a second axis. As the image capturing device rotates, it captures a plurality of overlapping images. The plurality of images can be processed entirely onboard the UAV to generate a panoramic image without transmitting the plurality of images to a remote device.

A thin optical imaging module of a biometric apparatus includes a first glass substrate, a first optical prism film, a second optical prism film, and an image sensor. The first glass substrate further includes a fingerprint imaging area, a vein imaging area, a contact surface, a reflective interface, and an attaching surface. The first optical prism film adhered to the attaching surface is located under the fingerprint imaging area. The second optical prism film is adhered to a position under the first optical prism film. The image sensor disposed in correspondence to the first glass substrate is located under the attaching surface.

The systems and/or processes described herein may calibrate an inertial measurement unit (IMU) of an electronic device in part by using images captured by one or more cameras of the electronic device. In this regard, an IMU of an electronic device may comprise a gyroscope, an accelerometer, a magnetometer, or any other type of motion sensor or rotational sensor.
