A system for power efficient image acquisition is configurable to capture, using an image sensor, a plurality of partial image frames including at least a first partial image frame and a second partial image frame. The first partial image frame is captured at a first timepoint using a first subset of image sensing pixels of the plurality of image sensing pixels of the image sensor. The second partial image frame is captured at a second timepoint using a second subset of image sensing pixels of the plurality of image sensing pixels of the image sensor. The second subset of image sensing pixels includes different image sensing pixels than the first subset of image sensing pixels, and the second timepoint is temporally subsequent to the first timepoint. The system is configurable to generate a composite image frame based on the plurality of partial image frames.

Provided is an image capturing device including a motion determination unit that determines the presence/absence of motion in a plurality of pixels on the basis of an addition signal of the plurality of pixels to obtain a motion determination result, and a transmission control unit that controls whether or not to transmit image data corresponding to at least the plurality of pixels on the basis of the motion determination result.

A lens apparatus attachable to an imaging apparatus via an accessory, the lens apparatus includes an acquirer configured to acquire first power information indicating power available for the accessory, a determiner configured to determine second power information indicating power available for the lens apparatus based on the first power information, and a transmitter configured to transmit, to the imaging apparatus, the second power information or power information relating to the first power information and the second power information.

A remote monitoring device and a remote monitoring method thereof are provided. An energy harvesting device converts energy harvested from the surrounding environment into electrical energy for storage. An image capturing device captures an image of a monitored object to generate a captured image. When the power stored in the energy harvesting device meets a preset condition, a control circuit outputs monitoring information based on the captured image.

A proximity alarm assembly includes a personal electronic device that has wireless communication capabilities. A camera unit has a plurality of cameras facilitate 360.0 degree video surveillance of an area. A motion unit has a plurality of sensors to facilitate 360.0 motion surveillance of the area. Each of the motion unit and the camera unit is in wireless communication with the personal electronic device. Moreover, the personal electronic device produces an alert when motion unit senses motion to alert a user to the motion. An alert unit is positionable near the user and the alert unit is actuated to emit an audible alert and a visual alert when either of the camera unit or the motion unit fails to communicate with the personal electronic device.

An accessory includes: a detection terminal; a first power supply terminal through which a first power supply voltage is supplied; a first ground terminal used as a ground potential; a second power supply terminal through which a second power supply voltage is supplied; a second ground terminal used as a ground potential; a ready terminal used to indicate whether or not communication is allowed; a first data terminal that receives a first data signal; a second data terminal that outputs a second data signal; a clock terminal that outputs a clock signal; and a third data terminal that outputs a third data signal, wherein: the first ground terminal, the second power supply terminal, and the second ground terminal are positioned between the first power supply terminal and the ready terminal; and the first data terminal and the second data terminal are positioned between the ready terminal and the clock terminal.

The present disclosure describes an intelligent roadside unit and a control method thereof, comprising: a circular camera array, including a plurality of cameras for capturing images in different road directions respectively; a circular radar array, including a plurality of radars for detecting obstacle information in different road directions respectively; and a controller configured to determine whether a vehicle is approaching according to the obstacle information detected by the radars, to turn on a camera corresponding to the radar that has detected the approaching of the vehicle to capture an image, and to control the cameras corresponding to the radars that have not detected the approaching of the vehicle to be in a standby state.

A method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for temporal information synchronization of imaging devices are disclosed. The method comprises capturing media using an imaging device, generating a sequence identifier for each of the media, generating a timestamp for each of the media, determining that at least one of the media includes an unknown time tag, receiving an input including temporal information, determining a time offset between each timestamp and the temporal information, and updating the timestamp for each of the media that includes an unknown time tag using the time offset to provide an updated timestamp.

A vehicular vision system includes a camera having an imaging array. With the camera attached at an in-cabin side of a vehicle windshield, the imaging array of the camera views through the windshield and forward of the equipped vehicle. Image data captured by the imaging array is provided to and processed at an ECU for at least one driving assist system of the vehicle. The captured image data is saved in volatile memory. Responsive to occurrence of an emergency event, image data captured by the imaging array of the camera that is saved in volatile memory for a first period of time prior to the occurrence of the emergency event is moved to non-volatile memory and image data captured by the imaging array of the camera for a second period of time after the occurrence of the emergency event is saved in non-volatile memory.

In general, techniques are described regarding initiating a recursive blending of a plurality of frames following a camera transition. One or more processors may, subsequent to a transition from a first camera mode to a second camera mode, blend one or more pixels of a first frame with one or more pixels of a second frame to produce a first blended frame, the first frame captured via a first camera, and the second frame captured via a second camera. The one or more processors may then output the first blended frame.
