Systems and Methods for Improved Camera Color Calibration
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for improved camera color calibration. An example method may involve capturing a first wavelength emitted by a first type of traffic light. The example method may also involve determining, based on the first wavelength, a first color value associated with the wavelength emitted by the first type of traffic light. The example method may also involve capturing, by a first camera, a first image, video, or real-time feed of a first portion of a test target, the first portion of the test target including a first light color that is based on the first color value. The example method may also involve determining, based on the first image, video, or real-time feed of the first portion of a test target, a second color value output by the camera. The example method may also involve determining, based on a comparison between the first color value and the second color value, that a difference exists between the first color value and the second color value. The example method may also involve adjusting, based on the detection that a difference exists between the first color value and the second color value, at least one of: a property of the camera or signal processing associated with the camera.

Estimating real-time delay of a video data stream
In an arrangement where a physical phenomenon affects a digital video camera and is measured or sensed by a sensor, a delay of a digital video stream from the digital video camera is estimated. The digital video stream is processed by a video processor for producing a signal that represents the changing over time of the effect of the physical phenomenon on the digital video camera. The signal is then compared with the sensor output signal, such as by using cross-correlation or cross-convolution, for estimating the time delay between the compared signals. The estimated time delay may be used for synchronizing when combining additional varied data to the digital video stream for low-error time alignment. The physical phenomenon may be based on mechanical position or motion, such as pitch, yaw, or roll. The time delay estimating may be performed once, upon user control, periodically, or continuously.
Image quality detection and correction system
A method and instructions for operating an image quality system can comprise: obtaining an original image; sensing a subsequent image with an image-capturing device, comprising: testing a focus of the subsequent image with the image-capturing device implementing a blur test, informing a user to retake the subsequent image based on the subsequent image failing the blur test, evaluating a histogram for the subsequent image, informing the user to retake the subsequent image based on the histogram including a value exceeding a saturation threshold, and informing the user to retake the subsequent image based on the histogram including the value exceeding an underexposure threshold; compressing the histogram with an adjustment curve; and color matching the subsequent image to the original image.
Multi-presence detection for performance capture
The present description relates relate to recalibration of a sensor device for performance capture, by detecting a miscalibration problem with sensor device and assessment of the problem. A recalibration system includes sensor devices initially calibrated at a recording site. A recording site change occurs and afterwards, a failure to match virtual rays projected from one sensor device with virtual rays projected from the active marker is detected. In response to determining the failure, the active marker is signaled to emit a unique display of light. The failure of the rays to match is assessed based on whether sensor devices capture the unique display of light. Three-dimensional (3-D) coordinates of an active marker is reconstructed from marker data of the calibrated sensor devices. A problematic sensor device is recalibrated based on the assessment, using the 3-D coordinates of the active marker from marker data of the remaining calibrated sensor devices, without stopping the recording.

System and methods for calibration of an array camera
Systems and methods for calibrating an array camera are disclosed. Systems and methods for calibrating an array camera in accordance with embodiments of this invention include the capturing of an image of a test pattern with the array camera such that each imaging component in the array camera captures an image of the test pattern. The image of the test pattern captured by a reference imaging component is then used to derive calibration information for the reference component. A corrected image of the test pattern for the reference component is then generated from the calibration information and the image of the test pattern captured by the reference imaging component. The corrected image is then used with the images captured by each of the associate imaging components associated with the reference component to generate calibration information for the associate imaging components.
