A detection device includes: a first detector which irradiates light onto the target object and detects light emitted from the target object; a first shape information generator which generates first shape information representing a first shape of the target object on the basis of a detection result of the first detector; and a second shape information generator which adds a second shape, which is based on information different from the detection result of the first detector, to the first shape, and which generates second shape information representing a shape including the first shape and the second shape.

A method of limiting processing by a 3D reconstruction system of an environment in a 3D reconstruction of an event includes dividing by the subdivision module the volume into sub-volumes; projecting from each camera each of the sub-volumes to create a set of sub-volumes masks relative to each camera; creating an imaging mask for each camera; comparing for each camera by the subdivision module the respective imaging mask to the respective sub-volume mask and extracting at least one feature from at least one imaging mask; saving by the subdivision module the at least one feature to a subspace division mask; cropping the at least one feature from the imaging frames using the subspace division mask; and processing only the at least one feature for a 3D reconstruction. The system includes cameras for recording the event in imaging frames; and a subdivision module for dividing the volume into sub-volumes.

A method for producing a magnified three dimensional (3D) image of an object having a parallax modified according to the magnification including the procedures of acquiring a first image of the object by a first camera and a second image of the object by a second camera, determining a magnification parameter, generating a first magnified image and a second magnified image by respectively magnifying a portion of the first image containing the object and a portion of the second image containing the object according to the magnification parameter, modifying a geometry of the first magnified image and of the second magnified image as a function of the magnification parameter, thereby producing a first modified image and a second modified image, and displaying the magnified 3D image to a user by displaying the first modified image and the second modified image.

A system for acquiring surface data from one of the surfaces of a curved glass sheet and developing a surface definition of the glass sheet includes a conveyor for conveying the glass sheet in a first direction, at least one display projecting a preselected multi-phase non-repeating contrasting pattern, and at least one camera, each one of the cameras uniquely paired with one of the displays. The system may also include a control programmed to execute logic for controlling each of the camera/display pairs to acquire the desired images, and logic for analyzing and combining the data acquired by the cameras to construct a definition of the surface of the glass sheet.

In an example embodiment a method, apparatus and computer program product are provided. The method includes determining presence of at least one moving object in a scene based on two or more burst images corresponding to the scene captured by a first camera. One or more portions of the scene associated with the at least one moving object are identified, and, information related to the one or more portions is provided to a second camera. An image of the scene captured by the second camera second camera is received, where a pixel level shutter disposed in front of an image sensor of the second camera is programmed to periodically open and close, throughout a duration of said image capture, for pixels of the image sensor corresponding to the one or more portions of the scene. A deblurred image corresponding to the scene is generated based on the image.
