The present disclosure relates to a camera package, a manufacturing method of a camera package, and an electronic device capable of reducing a manufacturing cost for forming a lens. The manufacturing method of the camera package according to the present disclosure includes forming a high-contact angle film around a lens forming region on an upper side of a transparent substrate that protects a solid-state imaging element, dropping a lens material in the lens forming region on the upper side of the transparent substrate, and molding the dropped lens material by a mold to form a lens. The present disclosure is applicable to, for example, a camera package and the like in which a lens is arranged above a solid-state imaging element.

A camera module according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a housing that includes a first case that includes an opening at one of ends of the first case, and a second case that is joined to another of the ends of the first case; a barrel member that is arranged in the housing and includes a barrel that is fitted into the opening in an optical-axis direction; a sensor board that is arranged in the housing and includes an imaging device that faces the barrel; and a support that includes a peripheral wall portion and a control portion, and is arranged between the barrel member and the second case, the peripheral wall portion including a first end and a second end and covering around the imaging device, the first end supporting the barrel member, the second end being brought into elastic contact with the second case, the control portion being arranged between the peripheral wall portion and an inner peripheral surface of the first case and controlling approach of the barrel member to the second case.

An improved long-range facial recognition system is provided. The facial recognition system includes an integrated, rifle-like mounting platform with modular and interchangeable components, including a machine-vision camera, a facial recognition module, and an aiming scope. The mounting platform includes an elongated frame, a hand grip, a shoulder stock, and an underbody support attachment for an optional bipod. The mounting platform provides an intuitive, shoulder-operated support structure for stabilizing the machine-vision camera and reducing vibrations that otherwise inhibit long distance imaging.

Image recording device provided with a fixed part for at least partial inclusion in and/or on the body of a motor vehicle, and a movable part which comprises at least one optical element, the optical element comprising at least one optical sensor and/or a lens unit, and an adjustment device provided with a power source, for adjusting the movable part between a first position and a second position, wherein during use in the first position the movable part is wholly or partly included in the body, and in the second position the movable part extends at an angle with respect to the body, such that at least the optical element carried by the movable part extends at least partly outside the body, wherein the movable part pivots from the second position about a, preferably substantially vertical, axis to the first position and vice versa.

A method for joining a camera module, including a base plate on which an image sensor is situated, and an objective mount in which an objective of the camera module is accommodated. The base plate is placed on the objective mount, and at least one spring element is laterally mounted and positioned at each of at least two connection areas that are oppositely situated with respect to the optical axis of the camera module. The base plate and the objective mount are pressed flatly against one another via the spring element.

A camera assembly may include a camera and one or more heat sinks configured to dissipate heat generated by the camera. The heat sinks being in thermal contact with a printed circuit board including the camera. A housing of the camera assembly may be configured to maintain the camera in a fixed position while the camera assembly is mounted on a medical device such as a dispensing cabinet. The camera in the fixed position may have a deterministic field of view that includes a first area in which interactions with the medical device and adjacent medical devices occurs or is expected to occur. The deterministic field of view of the camera may further exclude a second area where surveillance is unsuitable, prohibited, and/or unnecessary. Images captured by the camera may be analyzed to detect anomalous behavior such as diversion, medical error, hazardous behavior, and protocol noncompliance.

A camera module includes a housing, a barrel member, a sensor board, and a metallic shield case. The housing includes a first case that includes an opening, and a second case that is joined to the first case.
