Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for obstructing or preventing light from reaching a light detecting portion of a camera. In one scenario, a camera obstructing device is described which includes the following: a structural housing that provides support for an obstructing member. The structural housing has at least one channel on which the obstructing member slides from one position to another position. The obstructing member substantially prevents light from reaching the light sensor of the camera. At least one magnet is positioned within the structural housing, where the magnet holds the obstructing member in place in the initial position or the other position.

CAMERA SYSTEM USING INTERCHANGEABLE FIXED LENSES
20170329204 · 2017-11-16 ·

A camera system is disclosed. The camera system includes a camera that employs interchangeable fixed lenses. By replacing one lens cap with another lens cap, the field of view can be changed since each lens cap has a different fixed lens. The camera can also record images or video in a forward and a backward direction at the same time.

Camera Case Removable Camera Lens Holder

A camera lens holder comprising a cylindrical body formed or attached to a perpendicularly aligned planar base. The cylindrical body has sidewalls and coaxially aligned cylindrical cavity with a top opening with a chamfered inside edge. The diameter of the cylindrical cavity and the length of the sidewalls are sufficient in diameter and length to receive and hold the bayonet-style end connector on a camera lens. Formed on the inside surface of the cylindrical body are lugs configured to engage the lugs formed on the bayonet-style end on the lens. Formed on the outside surface of the cylindrical body are two or more projecting wings. Attached to the bottom surface of the planar body is a hook connector pad configured to connect to the inside surface of a camera bag made of cotton, nylon or felt material. The chamfered inside edge of the cylindrical body is configured to allow the user to easily insert the bayonet-style end connector on the lens without precisely aligning the lens over the top opening.

Imaging apparatus and imaging method for improvement of reproduction image quality

Information on posture data that can be used for processing on a frame basis can be acquired for moving image data to be captured. For the purpose, in an imaging apparatus including an imaging unit that captures an image by an optical system to generate image data, a posture data generation unit that generates posture data of a casing including the imaging unit at a timing corresponding to the image data, a notification unit that performs notification for correlating the image data with the posture data on the basis of a trigger, and a detector that detects the notification by the notification unit are provided.

Methods for Analyzing Thermal Image Data Using a Plurality of Virtual Devices
20170236300 · 2017-08-17 ·

Thermal imaging camera images are obtained from a thermal imaging camera that rotates through a plurality of stop positions. The camera captures images at a constant frame rate and at least some of the images correspond to stop positions. Thermal imaging camera images that correspond to a stop position are retained, while images that do not correspond to a stop position are discarded. Retained images are sent in a video stream to a video processor. The video stream is separated into individual thermal imaging camera images and stored for corresponding virtual camera devices that correspond to specific stop positions. In addition, the position of the camera and individual pixels of images are both correlated to geographical location data, and depth values for the pixels are determined based on the geographical data.

CRADLE WITH PRIVACY PROTECTION FUNCTION FOR PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE
20170230490 · 2017-08-10 ·

A front on an extension line of a built-in front camera lens part of said portable electronic device during use of the cradle is shielded by an opaque or translucent lens shielding member provided on the front face side of the cradle 3 for portable electronic devices of the present invention, thereby disabling photography of front surrounding conditions of the cradle, even if an operation of front camera unwanted by an owner is performed, and a microphone hole of the electronic device 11 is shielded by providing a microphone hole shielding member 13 in a space between the charging stand 4 and a housing of the electronic device 11 mounted thereon, and therefore it becomes possible to reduce a risk of an outflow of ambient voice information of the cradle, even if an operation of microphone unwanted by an owner is performed.
