11546558 · 2023-01-03 · ·

A method for displaying a video stream of a scene captured by a monitoring camera on a display of a remote client device comprises receiving, at the client device, the video stream and information indicating an on/off status for an IR-illuminator illuminating the scene; setting a display setting of the display differently based on upon the on/off status for the IR-illuminator; and displaying the video stream on the display using the display setting. The client device comprises a display, a receiver which receives a video stream from the monitoring camera, and a control circuit. The control circuit executes an IR-illuminator status function to extract information indicating on/off status for the IR-illuminator illuminating the scene, a display setting function of the display differently upon the on/off status for the IR-illuminator, and a displaying function displays the video stream on the display using the setting set by the display setting function.

Determination of a subject profile with a camera

The invention provides for a medical apparatus (100, 300, 400) comprising a subject support (102) configured for moving a subject (106) from a first position (124) to a second position (130) along a linear path (134). The subject support comprises a support surface (108) for receiving the subject. The subject support is further configured for positioning the subject support in at least one intermediate position (128). The subject support is configured for measuring a displacement (132) along the linear path between the first position and the at least one intermediate position. Each of the at least one intermediate position is located between the first position and the second position. The medical apparatus further comprises a camera (110) configured for imaging the support surface in the first position. Execution of machine executable instructions 116 cause the a processor (116) controlling the medical apparatus to: acquire (200) an initial image (142) with the camera when the subject support is in the first position; control (202) the subject support to move the subject support from the first position to the second position; acquire (204) at least one intermediate image (144) with the camera and the displacement for each of the at least one intermediate image as the subject support is moved from the first position to the second position; and calculate (206) a height profile (150, 600, 604) of the subject by comparing the initial image and the at least one intermediate image. The height profile is at least partially calculated using the displacement. The height profile is descriptive of the spatially dependent height of the subject above the support surface.

AIRCRAFT WING INSPECTION LIGHT WITH CAMERA
20230008627 · 2023-01-12 · ·

An aircraft wing inspection system includes a housing, a light source, a camera, and a display device. The housing is adapted to be mounted on an aircraft fuselage. The light source is disposed within the housing and is operable, upon being electrically energized, to emit a light beam. The camera is disposed within the housing and is configured to capture images of the aircraft wing, convert the captured images to digital image data, and transmit the digital image data. The display device is disposed remote from, and is in operable communication with, the camera. The display device is configured to receive the digital image data transmitted from the camera and to render the captured images.

CLASSIFICATION AND INDICATING OF EVENTS ON AN EDGE DEVICE
20230010320 · 2023-01-12 ·

Described herein are techniques that may be used to identify and indicating events within a media content file. Such techniques may comprise receiving a media content having been collected by a media collection device as well as receiving sensor data corresponding to the media content. The techniques may further comprise determining, based on the received sensor data, at least one event to be associated with the media content, generating at least one event indicator to be associated with the media content based on the determined at least one event, and providing the media content and the at least one event indicator to a recipient computing device.

Systems and methods for imaging communication and control

A telesurgical mentoring platform with a wheeled base, a lower rack mounted on the base, an upper rack extending vertically from the lower rack, a compactly foldable articulated arm that is configured to extend horizontally outward away from the upper rack and configured to connect to a connector piece holding an end effectuator at its distal end, a tablet personal computer; the console configured to be readily mobilized on the floor of an existing operating room and is capable of providing a connectivity point for communication, audiovisual, and data transfer services in an operating room.

Repetitive video monitoring of industrial equipment by mobile data acquisition units

Systems and methods are provided to perform PdM surveys using data acquisition units which scan screen multiple locations where equipment or structures to be evaluated are present. Video data will be acquired and processed to measure translational and vibratory motion and additional data will be collected from other camera, sensors or via data links. The motion present in the equipment or structures under test and the supplemental data will be automatically evaluated to detect suspect equipment conditions and to minimize the amount of video data maintained on the data acquisition unit and transmitted back the central PdM server for review by a PdM analyst and long term archival.
