A camera system and method provide a trailing motion blur effect without the use of a flash. In one embodiment, a variable light-transmissive filter is positioned in front of an image sensor. While the light-transmissive property of the filter is lower, the blurred image of the object in motion is produced. The light-transmissive property of the filter is increased during the exposure in order to produce a clearer image of the object. In a method, a plurality of images taken in rapid succession are combined to produce a clear image of the object with a trailing blurred image of the object.

A display device includes imaging unit (101) to generate a captured image, image recognizer (102) to recognize whether or not the captured image contains a reception terminal, light emitter (106) to emit light in accordance with a modulation signal, and transmission controller (103) and light emission controller (105) to control driving of light emitter (106) based on a result recognized by image recognizer (102).

Provided is an imaging device (100) including: a line sensor or an area sensor (50) having an aspect ratio different from that of a scene; and an optical element (10) having a predetermined pattern and superimposed on the line sensor or the area sensor, wherein in the optical element, an autocorrelation function of the predetermined pattern including a plurality of basic patterns repeated while being periodically positionally displaced has a peak and side lobes, and the side lobes are constant or substantially constant.

Systems and processes for cameras with a reconfigurable lens assembly are described. For example, some methods include automatically detecting that an accessory lens structure has been mounted to an image capture device including a mother lens and an image sensor configured to detect light incident through the mother lens, such that an accessory lens of the accessory lens structure is positioned covering the mother lens; responsive to detecting that the accessory lens structure has been mounted, automatically identifying the accessory lens from among a set of multiple supported accessory lenses; accessing an image captured using the image sensor when the accessory lens structure is positioned covering the mother lens; determining a warp mapping based on identification of the accessory lens; applying the warp mapping to the image to obtain a warped image; and transmitting, storing, or displaying an output image based on the warped image.

A method for tracking one or more objects in a specific space is provided. The method includes steps of: (a) inputting original images of the specific space taken from camera to an obfuscation network and instructing the obfuscation network to obfuscate the original images to generate obfuscated images such that the obfuscated images are not identifiable as the original images by a human but the obfuscated images are identifiable as the original images by a learning network; (b) inputting the obfuscated images into the learning network, and instructing the learning network to detect obfuscated target objects, corresponding to target objects to be tracked, in the obfuscated images, to thereby output information on the obfuscated target objects; and (c) tracking the obfuscated target objects in the specific space by referring to the information on the obfuscated target objects.

Methods, systems, and computer program products of fusing Molecular Chemical Imaging (MCI) and Red Green Blue (RGB) images are disclosed herein. A sample is illuminated with illuminating photons which interact with the sample and are used to form MCI and RGB images. The MCI and RGB images are fused by way of mathematical operations to generate a RGB image with a detection overlay.

An image recording apparatus includes a recording control unit that records a captured image acquired by the camera image acquisition unit in an image file for each of front cameras, and the degree-of-importance determination unit that determines a degree of importance of each of the plurality of image files. The recording control unit continues to record the captured image in a first image file, and executes close processing on the first image file at a timing based on a recordable duration time during which the captured image is continuously recorded in the first image file as an image file having the highest degree of importance when an electric power supply from a main power unit is cut off and the electric power supply source is switched by an electric power supply source switching unit.
