An image capturing device is provided comprising an image sensor for capturing a first image of a scene, a light source for illuminating the scene with a first flash of coded light, and a network interface for communicating with a communications network and/or a further image capturing device. The device is operative to encode information into the first flash, enabling retrieval of the first image from a first data storage, capture the first image, and store the first image in the first data storage. Optionally, the device may be operative to detect a second flash of coded light emitted by the further image capturing device, decode information enabling retrieval of a second image captured by the further image capturing device from a second data storage, retrieve the second image, and create a 3D model from the first image and the second image.

A dynamic event capturing and rendering system collects and aggregates video, audio, positional, and motion data to create a comprehensive user perspective 360-degree rendering of a field of play. An object associated with a user collects data that is stitched together and synchronized to provide post event analysis and training. Through an interface actions that occurred during an event can be recreated providing the viewer with information on what the user associated with the object was experiencing, where the user was looking, and how certain actions may have changed the outcome. Using the collected data, a virtual realty environment is created that can be manipulated to present alternative courses of action and outcomes.

An electrically controlled spectacle includes a spectacle frame and optoelectronic lenses housed in the frame. The lenses include a left lens and a right lens, each of the optoelectrical lenses having a plurality of states, wherein the state of the left lens is independent of the state of the right lens. The electrically controlled spectacle also includes a control unit housed in the frame, the control unit being adapted to control the state of each of the lenses independently.

The disclosure includes a camera array comprising camera modules, the camera modules comprising a master camera that includes a processor, a memory, a sensor, a lens, a status indicator, and a switch, the switch configured to instruct each of the camera modules to initiate a start operation to start recording video data using the lens and the sensor in the other camera modules and the switch configured to instruct each of the camera modules to initiate a stop operation to stop recording, the status indicator configured to indicate a status of at least one of the camera modules. Lens distortion effects may be removed from the frames described by the video data. The camera modules of the camera array are configured to provide a 3 field of view overlap.

The present invention inexpensively executes fault diagnosis in real time without obstructing an original image-processing function even while driving. To this end, this in-vehicle-camera image processing device has: one or more camera units capable of selectively switching between a captured image and a test image and outputting the same; an image-processing unit for subjecting a captured image outputted by the camera units to image processing; and a fault diagnosis unit for subjecting the camera units to fault diagnosis, on the basis of the test image outputted by the camera units. In addition, the image-processing unit determines whether or not a fault diagnosis is possible on the basis of the image-processing results, and when fault diagnosis is determined to be possible, outputs diagnosis instruction information to the fault diagnosis unit. The in-vehicle-camera image processing device is characterized in that upon receiving input of the diagnosis instruction information from the image-processing unit, the fault diagnosis unit outputs, to the camera units, an image-selection-instruction signal for switching the image outputted by the camera units from the captured image to the test image.

An image process apparatus includes an image capture device, a filter, a depth estimation unit, and a mixture unit. The image capture device captures an original image including at least one target object and generates a first depth map corresponding to the original image. The filter selects the at least one target object from the original image according to the first depth map and generates a temporary image including the at least one target object. The temporary image has a depth information of the at least one target object. The depth estimation unit generates a second depth map corresponding to an input image according to the input image. The mixture unit blends the temporary image into a predetermined field depth of the input image to generate a blending image including the input image and the at least one target object according to the depth information and the second depth map.

An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire image data, a generation unit configured to generate information about time as generated additional data, and a replacement unit configured to replace data at a plurality of pixel positions of the acquired image data with the generated additional data.

There is provided an image processing apparatus and an image processing method by which it is made possible to generate three-dimensional data with high accuracy on the basis of two-dimensional image data and depth image data. A synchronism deviation detection unit detects a synchronism deviation of two-dimensional image data of a reference viewpoint with respect to two-dimensional image data of a base viewpoint. Synchronism deviation information representative of the synchronism deviation detected by the synchronism deviation detection unit, encoded data of the two-dimensional image data of the base viewpoint and depth image data indicative of a position of each of pixels in a depthwise direction of an image pickup object and encoded data of the two-dimensional image data and depth image data of the reference viewpoint are transmitted. The present disclosure can be applied, for example, to an image pickup apparatus, an encoding apparatus and so forth.

A depth map generation device capable of correcting occlusion includes at least two image capture pairs and a depth map generator. The at least two image capture pairs is used for capturing a plurality of images. The depth map generator is coupled to the two image capture pairs for generating a first depth map and a second depth map according to the plurality of images, wherein when the first depth map includes a first occlusion region and a first non-occlusion region, the depth map generator corrects the first occlusion region according to the second depth map.
