A vehicular control system includes a forward viewing camera disposed at an in-cabin side of a windshield of a vehicle and viewing forward of the vehicle. Road curvature of a road along which the vehicle is traveling is determined responsive at least in part to processing by an image processor of image data captured by the camera. Responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, a traffic lane of the road along which the vehicle is traveling is determined. Upon approach of the vehicle to a curve in the road, speed of the vehicle is reduced to a reduced speed for traveling around the curve in the road at least in part responsive to at least one selected from the group consisting of (a) processing of image data captured by the forward viewing camera and (b) data relevant to a current geographical location of the equipped vehicle.

An image capture device is mounted in a vehicle. The image capture device includes: an image capture unit; and a setting unit that sets an image capture condition for each region of the image capture unit each having a plurality of pixels, or for each pixel, based upon at least one of a state exterior to the vehicle and a state of the vehicle.

A polarized image acquisition unit 20 acquires polarized images in a plurality of polarization directions. A reflection information generation unit 30 generates reflection information indicating reflection components from the polarized images in the plurality of polarization directions acquired by the polarized image acquisition unit 20. A reflection information using unit 40 uses the reflection information generated by the reflection information generation unit 30 to acquire an image of a viewed object appearing in the polarized images. A depth estimation unit estimates a depth value of a reflective surface area and acquires a position of the viewed object on the basis of an image of the viewed object appearing in the reflective surface area and the estimated depth value. Therefore, the viewed object positioned in, for example, an area of a blind spot can be easily checked.

An imaging device including an imager that includes first pixels having sensitivity to a first light and second pixels having sensitivity to a second light, a wavelength of the first light being different from a wavelength of the second light, the imager acquiring first image data from the first pixels and acquiring second image data from the second pixels, each of the first image data and the second image data including an image of a code, the code being configured to output the second light; and an image processor. The image processor performs a differential processing based on the first image data and the second image data to generate third image data, and extracts an image of the code from the third image data.

A curved fingerprint recognizing device with a light-guiding component, a first reflecting layer, a second reflecting layer, light source and an image capturing component is disclosed. In the light-guiding component, a first surface has a curved surface, a second surface locates opposite to the first surface, an outer side wall inclinedly connects the first surface and the second surface, an inner side wall inclinedly connects to the second surface, and a bottom surface connects horizontally the outer side wall and the inner side wall. The light beam emitted from the light source is reflected by the first reflecting layer and the second reflecting layer after passing through the bottom surface to be transmitted to the first surface having the curved surface and thereby fingerprints of a bottom and sidewalls of an object to be recognized can be obtained by the image capturing component at the same time.

A device for direct optical recording of skin prints offers recording of human skin prints for personal identification permitting a display layer directly below the placement surface. A light guide layer arranged below the sensor layer has at least one LED at a narrow side and light out-coupling structures which, by means of an inclination angle c and differences in the refractive indices relative to neighboring layers, permit a directed coupling out of light at a defined angle which results in total internal reflection at the placement surface at the air interface and with a small divergence angle range of +/15. A first adhesion layer between cover layer and sensor layer and a second adhesion layer between sensor layer and light guide layer are provided, the refractive indices of which are 1% to 30% lower than the refractive indices of light guide layer and sensor layer.

The technology disclosed relates to providing simplified manipulation of virtual objects by detected hand motions. In particular, it relates to a detecting hand motion and positions of the calculation points relative to a virtual object to be manipulated, dynamically selecting at least one manipulation point proximate to the virtual object based on the detected hand motion and positions of one or more of the calculation points, and manipulating the virtual object by interaction between the detected hand motion and positions of one or more of the calculation points and the dynamically selected manipulation point.

A camera assembly and an electronic device having the same are provided. The camera assembly includes a main board, a cover plate, a camera, an infrared lamp and a deflection member. The mainboard and the cover plate are arranged parallel to and spaced apart from each other. The camera and the infrared lamp are arranged on a side of the main board facing towards the cover plate, and spaced apart from each other. The deflection member is arranged on a side of the cover plate facing towards the main board, and is opposite to the camera. The deflection member is configured to deflect infrared light emitted by the infrared lamp towards a direction of a central axis of the camera.

A movable carrier auxiliary system includes a driver state detecting device and a control device. The driver state detecting device includes a biometric feature detecting module, a storage module, and an operation module. The biometric feature detecting module detects a biometric feature of a driver. The storage module stores a first biometric feature parameter, a second biometric feature parameter, a first operating mode corresponding to the first biometric feature parameter, and a second operating mode corresponding to the second biometric feature parameter. The operation module detects whether the biometric feature of the driver matches with the first biometric feature parameter or the second biometric feature parameter or not via the biometric feature detecting module, and to correspondingly generate a detection signal. The control device retrieve the first operating mode or the second biometric feature parameter from the storage module to control the movable carrier based on the detection signal.

The unobtrusive health-monitoring apparatus includes a camera, a controller, a data transmission port, and, optionally, a graphics processing unit (GPU) which executes nonlinear transformation algorithms. The camera may be inconspicuously disposed within a fixture in the room. The camera collects graphic data which may include still images or video of the user, or both. The GPU may execute the nonlinear transformation algorithms which may transform the graphic data into formats which cannot be recognized by humans. However, these formats preserve features that can be parsed by machine learning methods and used for health tracking purposes. The formats cannot be parsed by humans or be converted back to the original image or video by mathematical inversion or available computational methods. User privacy is thus preserved. The graphic data may be transmitted to a remote processor. The remote processor may perform algorithms which create a health status analyses.
