A hologram detection method according to an aspect of the disclosure, includes: inputting a first image, obtained by capturing a detection object on the basis of first flash intensity, to a neural network model to obtain a first detection result value representing the detection or not of a hologram for each of predetermined at least one detection unit regions; and comparing a threshold value with the first detection result value obtained for each detection unit region to determine the detection or not of a hologram in the first image and a first detection unit region where a hologram is detected.

A unified imaging device used for detecting and classifying objects in a scene including motion and micro-vibrations by receiving a plurality of images of the scene captured by an imaging sensor of the unified imaging device comprising a light source adapted to project on the scene a predefined structured light pattern constructed of a plurality of diffused light elements, classifying object(s) present in the scene by visually analyzing the image(s), extracting depth data of the object(s) by analyzing position of diffused light element(s) reflected from the object(s), identifying micro-vibration(s) of the object(s) by analyzing a change in a speckle pattern of the reflected diffused light element(s) in at least some consecutive images and outputting the classification, the depth data and data of the one or more micro-vibrations which are derived from the analyses of images captured by the imaging sensor and are hence inherently registered in a common coordinate system.

A package delivery sharing system includes a holding area for holding packages intended for delivery to one or more package recipients and a computing system with a processor and memory storing records of packages in the holding area. The processor is configured to track each package in the holding area awaiting delivery to the one or more package recipients, to offer a fee to individuals other than the package recipients for delivering a given package in the holding area to a particular package recipient, to select a person who accepts the fee in return for transporting the given package to the particular package recipient, to enable the person to access the holding area, to help the person to find the given package, through light guidance or other visual cues, and take the given package, and to confirm that the person took a correct package from the holding area.

An imaging system includes a light emitter that emits light toward the surroundings of a vehicle, an imager that captures an image of a range including a region that is illuminated with light emitted by the light emitter, and a difference image generator that generates (n−1) difference images from n captured images captured by the imager (n is an integer no smaller than 3). The difference image generator generates a difference image based on an image included in the n captured images and captured while the light emitter is on and an image included in the n captured images and captured while the light emitter is dimmed.

A method for detecting lost image information via a lighting device and an optical sensor. The lighting device and the optical sensor are controlled so as to be chronologically aligned with each other. A visible spacing region in an observation region of the optical sensor is determined from the chronological alignment of the control of the lighting device and the optical sensor. A recording of the observation region with the optical sensor is generated via the aligned control. Image information is identified in the recording in regions outside of the spacing region visible in the image, so as to make the identified image information accessible.

A light emitting unit emits infrared rays. An imaging element converts incident infrared rays into an electric signal and outputs the electric signal. A control unit estimates a light emission timing at which infrared rays are emitted from another infrared imaging device based on an infrared picture generated based on the electrical signal output from the imaging element, and performs control to cause the light emitting unit to emit infrared rays in a period in which the infrared rays are not emitted from the another infrared imaging device.
