In a situation where a capturing device is capturing a first image of a scene comprising a display device displaying a second image, a salient idea is to send both the captured first image and the second image, being displayed by the display device to a processing device, for comparatively processing the first and the second image to determine a characteristic associated with the display device. Being able to process the first image (comprising a displayed second image) together with the original second image advantageously allows to determine various characteristics associated with the display device that altered the displayed second image within the first image, making it different from the initial second image. Characteristics associated with the display device are for example a specular reflection occurring on the display device in the scene and disturbing the capture of the scene.

The invention relates to an optical measuring method for the three-dimensional detection of the surface of an object using an optical recording unit. The optical recording unit is moved relative to the object during a first measurement time interval, height maps are successively detected by the recording unit at a recording frequency, and at least some of the detected height maps are each added to an overall height map and displayed. The recording frequency is regulated by control signals during the measurement time interval. The control signals are generated spaced apart in time and for the purposes of producing each control signal, a statistic for the quality of the height map is determined for the respectively last detected height image and used for producing the control signal. The statistic is the overall intensity and/or the maximum intensity and/or the contrast and/or the number of extracted data points and/or a quality of extracted data points and/or the signal-to-noise ratio and/or the contrast of an additionally generated color image.

A system for detecting transparent elements in a vehicle environment are described. In some examples, this may include accessing an image of a scene captured by an image capture device attached to a vehicle. A reflected image present in the image may be detected. The reflected image may include a portion of the vehicle. It may be determined that the scene includes a transparent element based at least in part on detecting the reflected image present in the image.

A speckle detection method includes: obtaining a to-be-detected image; converting the to-be-detected image into Lab color space to obtain a Lab image; extracting a speckle feature from the Lab image to obtain a speckle feature image, where the speckle feature image includes a skin speckle feature and a subcutaneous speckle feature; and determining a skin speckle and a subcutaneous speckle in the speckle feature image.

An image obtaining section of an information processing apparatus obtains polarized light images in a plurality of directions from an imaging device provided to a moving body. A polarization degree obtaining section of an image analyzing section obtains a degree of polarization on the basis of direction dependence of luminance of polarized light. A high polarization degree region evaluating section detects the peripheral edge of a play field on which the moving body is present, by evaluating the shape of a high polarization degree region having degrees of polarization higher than a threshold value in a state in which the high polarization degree region is overlooked. An output data generating section generates and outputs output data for avoiding movement to the peripheral edge.
