Methods, systems, and apparatus for camera detection of human activity with co-occurrence are disclosed. A method includes detecting a person in an image captured by a camera; in response to detecting the person in the image, determining optical flow in portions of a first set of images; determining that particular portions of the first set of images satisfy optical flow criteria; in response to determining that the particular portions of the first set of images satisfy optical flow criteria, classifying the particular portions of the first set of images as indicative of human activity; receiving a second set of images captured by the camera after the first set of images; and determining that the second set of images likely shows human activity based on analyzing portions of the second set of images that correspond to the particular portions of the first set of images classified as indicative of human activity.

A system includes at least one imaging sensor and a processor. The processor is configured to acquire, using the imaging sensor, detected data describing an environment of an autonomous vehicle. The processor is further configured to derive reference data, which describe the environment, from a predefined map, to compute difference data representing a difference between the detected data and the reference data, and to transfer the difference data. Other embodiments are also described.

A vehicular driver monitoring system includes a camera disposed within a vehicle and having a field of view interior of the vehicle, and an adjustable mirror disposed within the vehicle. The adjustable mirror includes a mirror reflector that reflects light incident thereat. The camera views the adjustable mirror and captures image data based on light reflected by the mirror reflector of the adjustable mirror toward the camera. With a driver of the vehicle sitting in a driver seat of the vehicle, light reflected off a portion of the driver is reflected by the mirror reflector of the adjustable mirror toward the camera. An electronic control unit (ECU), responsive to processing by an image processor of image data captured by the camera, adjusts the adjustable mirror to reflect the portion of the driver toward a region of the lens of the camera.

A vehicular trailer hitching assist system includes a rear backup camera disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle and a control disposed in the vehicle. A display device includes a video display screen operable to display video images for viewing by a driver of the vehicle. During a hitching maneuver event undertaken by the driver to hitch a trailer hitch of the vehicle to a trailer tongue of a trailer, and while the driver of the vehicle is maneuvering the vehicle to hitch the vehicle to the trailer, the control outputs video images derived from image data captured by the rear backup camera for display by the video display screen. At least one overlay overlays the displayed video images to guide the driver during the hitching maneuver. The at least one overlay aids in guiding connection of the trailer hitch of the vehicle to the trailer tongue of the trailer.

Disclosed is an electronic gimbal with camera and mounting configuration. The gimbal can include an inertial measurement unit which can sense the orientation of the camera and three electronic motors which can manipulate the orientation of the camera. The gimbal can be removably coupled to a variety of mount platforms, such as an aerial vehicle, a handheld grip, or a rotating platform. Moreover, a camera can be removably coupled to the gimbal and can be held in a removable camera frame. Also disclosed is a system for allowing the platform, to which the gimbal is mounted, to control settings of the camera or to trigger actions on the camera, such as taking a picture, or initiating the recording of a video. The gimbal can also provide a connection between the camera and the mount platform, such that the mount platform receives images and video content from the camera.

The present invention is applicable to the technical field of panoramic videos. Provided are a panoramic video clip method, apparatus and device, and a storage medium. The method comprises acquiring a panoramic video photographed by means of a panoramic camera, and recording an advancing-direction viewing angle of the panoramic camera during moving photographing; carrying out a frame extraction operation on the acquired panoramic video to obtain a corresponding panoramic video frame, carrying out significant target detection on the panoramic video frame, tracking a detected significant target by using a preset target tracking algorithm, and acquiring a viewing angle at which the tracked significant target is located; and clipping the panoramic video according to the advancing-direction viewing angle and the viewing angle at which the significant target is located, so as to generate a target video corresponding to the panoramic video. A panoramic video is automatically clipped, and the fluency of transitions, and the effectiveness and the degree to which content in a target video is interesting are also ensured.

An information processor according to the present technology includes a presentation processing section configured to perform a process to present a list of objects recognized in an object recognition process of a captured image to a user, and a tracking processing section configured to set a tracking range of a subject corresponding to an object selected by the user from the list presented by the presentation processing section and perform a tracking process of the subject on the basis of the set tracking range.

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.

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. The display screen is light-pervious at only one side. The camera and the fill light lamp are arranged on the housing. An image processing chip and the controller are arranged between the display screen and the housing. When ambient brightness is below a preset brightness value, the camera and the fill light lamp are activated, the camera captures images of side and rear scenes of the vehicle and generates an optical signal, the image processing chip, based on the optical signal, outputs an enhanced image on the display screen for better driving safety. A vehicle including the rearview mirror system is also disclosed.

A receiving-side apparatus executes: reception processing for receiving a camera image from a transmitting-side apparatus; determination processing for determining whether execution conditions for performing image quality improvement processing with respect to the camera image are established; in a case where the execution conditions are established, order processing for transmitting the camera image to an external server apparatus connected through a network to the receiving-side apparatus, and ordering the image quality improvement processing with respect to the camera image; processing for receiving an image-quality-improved image generated by performing image quality improvement processing on the camera image from the external server apparatus; and processing for displaying the image-quality-improved image on a display apparatus.
