A camera module includes a housing, a frame disposed in an interior space of the housing, a movable body, a lens holder, first and second optical image stabilization (OIS) actuators. The movable body is configured to move in a first direction, perpendicular to an optical axis. The lens holder is configured to move in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first OIS actuator is configured to move the movable body in the first direction. The second OIS actuator is configured to move the lens holder in the second direction. The frame includes a first opening through which a first OIS coil and a first OIS magnet of the first OIS actuator are disposed to face each other, and a second opening through which a second OIS coil and a second OIS magnet of the second OIS actuator are disposed to face each other.

A stabilizing device is provided with a correction mechanism that moves a target object, a control circuit that controls the correction mechanism, and an angular velocity sensor that detects a rotational angular velocity associated with an attitude change of the stabilizing device. When a specified mode is set, the control circuit controls the correction mechanism on a basis of a control angular velocity computed internally by the stabilizing device or a control angular velocity acquired from a source external to the stabilizing device, and at least rotates the target object.

The present technology relates to an imaging device and an electronic apparatus capable of adjusting a focus position and an image stabilization position with high accuracy. There are provided a lens that converges object light, an imaging element that photoelectrically converts the object light received from the lens, a circuit base that includes a circuit configured to output a signal received from the imaging element to an outside, an actuator that drives the lens with a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) waveform in at least either one of an X-axis direction and a Y-axis direction, and plural detection units that are so disposed as to face plural first coils included in the actuator, and detect magnetic fields generated by the first coils. The present technology is applicable to an imaging device.

Provided are embodiments of a position-adaptive lighting system comprising a pantilt adjustable housing enclosing a digital imaging system and a lens module operably connected to a computer-based digital control unit, a lamp, and a position indicator detectable by the digital camera system and the computer-based digital control unit. The position-adaptive lighting system can adjustably direct a light beam to provide illumination of an object to which the position indicator is attached. The system is advantageous for providing a directed light to a surgical site and accommodate the movement of the position indicator on a surgeons hand or instrument.

A method for suppressing a vibration of a gimbal includes obtaining state information of the gimbal, determining a vibration frequency of the gimbal according to the state information, and performing an operation of suppressing the vibration of the gimbal according to the vibration frequency of the gimbal.

A system and method. The system may include a display, a lens having distortion, an image generator, and a processor. The lens may be configured to focus light received from an environment. The image generator may be configured to receive the light from the lens and output a stream of images as image data, wherein each of the stream of images is distorted. The processor may be configured to: receive the image data from the image generator; detect a point source object in the stream of images of the image data; enhance the point source object in the stream of images of the image data; undistort the stream of images of the image data having an enhanced point source object; and output a stream of undistorted images as undistorted image data to the display.

A camera module includes an image sensor configured to output a plurality of image frames, a lens assembly disposed on the image sensor, the lens assembly including at least one lens unit disposed on an optical path and a variable filter unit configured to adjust the optical path of light incident on the image sensor from outside, a controller configured to generate a control signal to control the variable filter unit, and an image synthesizer configured to synthesize the plurality of image frames to generate a composite image, wherein the composite image has a higher resolution than the image frames, and wherein the plurality of image frames includes image frames generated along respectively different optical paths changed by the variable filter unit.

Apparatus and methods are provided for providing persistent aerial vehicle surveillance capabilities, including launch and recovery platforms, secured communication, sensor systems, targeting systems, locating systems, and precision landing and stabilization systems for such uses as assisting with base defenses, monitoring parking lots or facilities, providing security monitoring, assisting farmers, performing recon of enemy beaches or use by mortar teams in hostile fields of operations. One embodiment can include an aerial surveillance system using an aerial short wave infrared surveillance system platform for use when quick response in reaction to real-time conditions is preferred while relaying the geo-location and other monitoring assistance via a wireless, fiber optic type link, or an ADHOC GPS system. Embodiments of this disclosure provides a user with precise targeting, without manned air assets, and a highly mobile base of operations with swift relocation possibilities in a denied or hostile environment.

A camera system includes an image sensor, a lens mount configured to detachably hold a lens unit, a support mechanism configured to rotatably support the lens mount and the image sensor, a main body configured to hold the support mechanism, and a support configured to support the lens mount to maintain a position of the lens mount relative to the main body.
