Provided are a pan-tilt-zoom camera control method and apparatus, a pan-tilt-zoom camera and a storage medium. The method includes following steps. A clockwise path and a counterclockwise path for a pan-tilt-zoom camera to rotate from a current preset position to a target preset position are determined; a current rotation path is selected from the clockwise path and the counterclockwise path according to life load values of at least two first position points that the clockwise path needs to pass and life load values of at least two second position points that the counterclockwise path needs to pass, where a life load value is used for characterizing the total number of times that the pan-tilt-zoom camera passes a preset position point in a pan and tilt; and the pan-tilt-zoom camera is controlled to rotate from the current preset position to the target preset position according to the current rotation path.

A monitoring device is configured to include an image data acquiring unit, a detecting unit, and a notifying unit. The image data acquiring unit acquires image data obtained by imaging a work area, and information relating to the position in which the image data were captured. The detecting unit detects, from the image data, at least either an unsafe behavior of a worker in the work area, or an unsafe environment around the worker, as an unsafe condition. The notifying unit notifies a terminal of the unsafe condition detected by the detecting unit, and the information relating to the position in which the unsafe condition is detected.

A meter monitoring system (200) includes: a wireless gateway (202), a monitoring device (201), and at least one meter recognition apparatus (100). The meter recognition apparatus (100) includes: an image acquirer (1), a processor (2), and a wireless transceiver (3). The image acquirer (1) is configured to acquire images of a display side of a monitoring meter (4) at set time intervals. The processor (2) is coupled to the image acquirer (1) and configured to determine, according to an image of the images acquired by the image acquirer (1) and based on an image processing algorithm, monitoring data displayed by the monitoring meter (4). The wireless transceiver (3) is coupled to the processor (2) and configured to send the monitoring data determined by the processor (2) to the wireless gateway (202). The wireless gateway (202) is configured to transmit the received monitoring data to the monitoring device (201).

An image processing unit of a processor for an endoscope includes: an emphasis processing calculation unit performing nonlinear gradation conversion for a pixel value of a pixel of interest, using each pixel of a captured image as the pixel of interest; and a preprocessing unit setting a reference upper limit characteristic line and a reference lower limit characteristic line in order to adjust an output pixel value after the nonlinear gradation conversion and calculating a degree of variation in pixel values in a partial setting region around the pixel of interest. The emphasis processing calculation unit calculates an output ratio of the output pixel value to a maximum pixel value that can be taken by the captured image, an adjustment upper limit value and an adjustment lower limit value, and an emphasis-processed pixel value, using the adjustment upper limit value, the adjustment lower limit value, and the output ratio.

A flight plan generation device for generating a flight plan of a flight device that transmits a captured image captured by an imaging unit through wireless communication during flight includes a first acquisition unit configured to acquire target information for specifying an imaging target to be imaged by the imaging unit during flight of the flight device and image quality information for specifying required image quality of a captured image of the imaging target, a second acquisition unit configured to acquire communication quality information on wireless communication quality in a predetermined area including at least a flight airspace of the flight device, and a flight plan generation unit configured to generate a flight plan including a flight path of the flight device and an imaging parameter of the imaging unit based on the acquired target information, image quality information, and communication quality information.

An arrangement for data recording and sampling for an agricultural machine includes a sensor set-up arrangement to detect properties contained in a material stream, means of taking a sample of the material from the material stream, and an electronic control unit. The control unit is configured to perform the following steps in response to a tripping signal: (a) instruct an actuator to bring the means into a position for sampling; (b) starting a recording of raw sensor arrangement data in a memory; (c) after depositing the sample at a desired sampling location, stop recording the raw data and instruct the actuator to return the means from the sampling position to an inactive position; and (d) store identification data to identify the sample together with the raw data in memory.

A rearview mirror system for a vehicle providing a direct reflection of scenes in good light and an enhanced display of scenes in bad lighting includes a housing defining an opening, a display screen arranged at the opening, a camera, a fill light lamp, and a controller.
