The invention provides a system and a computer-implemented method for generating and editing a video including providing a mobile communication device comprising a camera, a display, a central processing unit (CPU), a video generating application and a memory. Next, starting the video generating application, and then opening the camera and providing camera tutorials. The camera tutorials comprise instructions for camera positioning, camera moving, and camera aligning while taking videos. Next, taking videos of a scene following the instructions for camera positioning, camera moving, and camera aligning while taking videos. Next, uploading the videos to the memory, editing the videos and producing a composite video for the scene. The camera tutorials include a “moving forward/backward” tutorial directing a user first to hold the camera still, to align a horizontal view line in the display with a marker line, and then to move the user's body forward or backward while taking a video of the scene. The editing of the videos includes slowing the videos down, and matching rhythm of music accompanying each video to transitions of consecutive videos. The slowing down of the videos includes removing every other frame.

In some examples, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) employs one or more image sensors to capture images of a scan target and may use distance information from the images for determining respective locations in three-dimensional (3D) space of a plurality of points of a 3D model representative of a surface of the scan target. The UAV may compare a first image with a second image to determine a difference between a current frame of reference position for the UAV and an estimate of an actual frame of reference position for the UAV. Further, based at least on the difference, the UAV may determine, while the UAV is in flight, an update to the 3D model including at least one of an updated location of at least one point in the 3D model, or a location of a new point in the 3D model.

The invention relates to a monitoring device 1 for monitoring a man-overboard situation in a ship section 5, wherein the ship section 5 is monitored by video technology using at least one camera 2, and the camera 2 is designed to provide surveillance in the form of video data.

The analysis device 9 is also designed to determine a scale on the basis of the video data and the kinematic variable in order to determine the extent 8 of the moving object and evaluate the moving object as a man-overboard event on the basis of the extent 8 thereof.

A system configured to assist a user in scanning a physical environment in order to generate a three-dimensional scan or model. In some cases, the system may include an interface to assist the user in capturing data usable to determine a scale or depth of the physical environment and to perform a scan in a manner that minimizes gaps.

The invention provides an image processing apparatus which comprises a controller which causes an image sensing device to execute either a first mode in which outputs image data of a first resolution, or a second mode in which outputs image data of a second resolution lower than the first resolution; and an evaluating circuit which, by outputting image data of the second resolution in relation to acquired image data, obtains an index value that relates to a spatial frequency of a frequency band in which a signal level decreases in image data of the second resolution more than in image data of the first resolution, wherein the evaluating circuit detects, by machine learning, the index value of image data of the second resolution, and the controller, based on the detected index value, selects either the first or second mode.

A hand-held or otherwise portable or spatial or temporal performance-based image capture device includes one or more lenses, an aperture and a main sensor for capturing an original main image. A secondary sensor and optical system are for capturing a reference image that has temporal and spatial overlap with the original image. The device performs an image processing method including capturing the main image with the main sensor and the reference image with the secondary sensor, and utilizing information from the reference image to enhance the main image. The main and secondary sensors are contained together within a housing.

The present disclosure provides a photo-taking prompting method and apparatus, an apparatus and a non-volatile computer storage medium. On the one hand, a user's image information is collected while the user finds view, then the user's face posture information is obtained from the image information, then face posture information of a preset photo-taking template is compared with the user's face posture information, and the user is prompted to adjust the face posture according to a comparison result. The technical solutions provided by embodiments of the present disclosure may implement prompting the user's face posture adjustment while the user finds view and thereby implement providing guidance for the user's face posture, and solve the problem in the prior art about failure to perform photo-taking guidance while the user finds view.

A high content imaging system and a method of operating the high content imaging system are disclosed. A microscope has a first objective lens and a second objective lens, and an objective lens database has first and second transformation values associated with the first and the second objective lenses, respectively. A microscope controller operates the microscope with the first objective lens to develop first values of acquisition parameters. A configuration module automatically determines second values of the acquisition parameters using the first values of the acquisition parameters, first transformation values associated with the first objective lens, and second transformation values associated with the second objective lens. The microscope controller operates the microscope using the second objective lens and the second values of the acquisition parameters.

An electronic device includes a first camera supporting a first FOV, a second camera supporting a second FOV, and a processor. The processor is configured to obtain a first image having the first FOV using the first camera, to obtain a second image, which is associated with the first image and has the second FOV using the second camera, to adjust at least one operation attribute of the first camera based on the second image, and to obtain a third image having the first FOV based on the adjusted at least one operation attribute using the first camera.

A system and method that allows the capture of a series of images to create a single linear panoramic image is disclosed. The method includes capturing an image, dynamically comparing a previously captured image with a preview image on a display of a capture device until a predetermined overlap threshold is satisfied, generating a user interface to provide feedback on the display of the capture device to guide a movement of the capture device, and capturing the preview image with enough overlap with the previously captured image with little to no tilt for creating a linear panorama.
