In general, techniques are described regarding fusing or combining frames of image data to generate composite frames of image data. Cameras comprising camera processors configured to perform the techniques are also disclosed. A camera processor may capture multiple frames at various focal lengths. The frames of image data may have various regions of the respective frame in focus, whereas other regions of the respective frame may not be in focus, due to particular configurations of lens and sensor combinations used. The camera processor may combine the frames to achieve a single composite frame having both a first region (e.g., a center region) and a second region (e.g., an outer region) in focus.

A component mounter includes a component supply device equipped with a bulk feeder for supplying multiple components in a bulk state to a supply region for the components, a camera configured to image the supply region, an image processing section configured to execute image processing for distinguishing a region of at least a part of the component from a region of a background in image data acquired through imaging by the camera based on brightness, and a state recognition section configured to recognize a supply state of the component based on at least one of an area and a shape of a component region occupied by at least the part of the component in the image data on which the image processing has been executed.

A method for generating an object model includes: obtaining an initial morphable model; obtaining a plurality of initial images of an object, and depth images corresponding to the plurality of initial images; obtaining a plurality of target topological images by processing the plurality of initial images based on the depth images; obtaining a plurality of models to be synthesized by processing the initial morphable model based on the plurality of target topological images; and generating a target object model based on the plurality of models to be synthesized.

Disclosed are a signal processing device and an image display apparatus including the same. The signal processing device and the image display apparatus including the same according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a first decoder to reconstruct image data received from an external electronic device, an encoder to compress the image data reconstructed in the first decoder, a memory to store the image data compressed in the encoder, and a second decoder to reconstruct the image data stored in the memory. Accordingly, despite of the increases of the amount of the input image data and the bandwidth thereof, the image data may be stored in the memory efficiently.

An apparatus (100) comprises at least one electronic processor (101, 113) programmed to: control an associated medical imaging device (120) to acquire an image (130); compute values of textural features (132) for the acquired image; generate a signature (140) from the computed values of the textural features; and at least one of: display the signature on a display device (105); and apply an artificial intelligence (AI) component (150) to the generated signature to output image artifact metrics (152) for a set of image artifacts and display an image quality assessment based on the image artifact metrics on the display device.

A media capture device (MCD) that provides a multi-sensor, free flight camera platform with advanced learning technology to replicate the desires and skills of the purchaser/owner is provided. Advanced algorithms may uniquely enable many functions for autonomous and revolutionary photography. The device may learn about the user, the environment, and/or how to optimize a photographic experience so that compelling events may be captured and composed into efficient and emotional sharing. The device may capture better photos and videos as perceived by one's social circle of friends, and/or may greatly simplify the process of using a camera to the ultimate convenience of full autonomous operation.

A parking assistance device includes an overhead image generation unit generating an overhead image from a captured image obtained by capturing an image around a towing vehicle, a towing determination unit determining whether a towed vehicle is towed, an overhead image display range setting unit selecting a trimming range from a plurality of display ranges at least including a first display range and a second display range wider than the first display range, and a display image generation unit generating an overhead image for display by trimming the trimming range of the overhead image, and a display image including the overhead image for display on which the towing vehicle is superimposed. The overhead image display range setting unit selects the first display range when the towing vehicle does not tow the towed vehicle, and selects the second display range when the towing vehicle tows the towed vehicle.

Systems and methods for automatic generation of a content presentation plan are disclosed herein. The method can include receiving content identification information, retrieving objective information for the one or several objectives identified for inclusion in a content presentation plan, identifying at least one prerequisite skill for completion of at least one of the one or several objectives, generating at least one remediation question configured to delineate between users having mastery of the at least one prerequisite skill and users not having mastery of the at least one prerequisite skill, pre-selecting remedial content for providing to users identified as not having mastery of the at least one prerequisite skill, selecting objective content corresponding to the at least one objectives, and creating a content presentation plan containing the at least one remediation question, the remedial content, and the objective content.

A medical/surgical microscope with two cameras configured to capture two dimensional images of specimens being observed. The medical/surgical microscope is secured to a control apparatus configured to adjust toe-in of the two cameras to insure the convergence of the images. The medical/surgical microscope includes a computer system with a non-transitory memory apparatus for storing computer program code configured for digitally rendering real-world medical/surgical images. The medical/surgical microscope has an illumination system with controls for focusing and regulating the lighting of a specimen. The medical/surgical microscope is configured for real-time video display with the function of recording and broadcasting simultaneously during surgery.

A structural analysis computing device may generate a proposed insurance claim and/or generate a proposed insurance quote for an object pictured in a three-dimensional (3D) image. The structural analysis computing device may be coupled to a drone configured to capture exterior images of the object. The structural analysis computing device may include a memory, a user interface, an object sensor configured to capture the 3D image, and a processor in communication with the memory and the object sensor. The processor may access the 3D image including the object, and analyze the 3D images to identify features of the object—such as by inputting the 3D image into a trained machine learning or pattern recognition program. The processor may generate a proposed claim form for a damaged object and/or a proposed quote for an uninsured object, and display the form to a user for their review and/or approval.
