Method for leveraging battery residue energy and a capsule endoscope using the method are disclosed. The capsule endoscope is capable of performing one or more functions at a first throughput or a first peak current when the battery has sufficient energy. According to this method, whether the battery energy is sufficient is determined. Upon determining the battery energy being insufficient, at least one function of the one or more functions is performed at a second throughput lower than the first throughput, or at least one function of the one or more functions is switched to another function requiring a second peak current lower than the first peak current

A context-controlled video quality camera system running a software application to perform video quality settings actions in response to triggering conditions suggesting a recording context in which particular values of one or more video quality settings are preferred. Triggering conditions include a geolocation of a camera device, a present time, and/or sensed ambient conditions. Video quality settings actions include either automatically adjusting settings to the particular values or prompting a user to select whether to adjust the settings. Rules having triggering conditions and corresponding video quality settings actions can include default rules of the software application. The rules can be updated on the user's own initiative or in response to identified triggering patterns of user activity, either automatically or as selected by a user in response to automatic pro

A method for assessing tyre tread depth and/or tyre condition by taking and analysing a camera image or images of a tyre using portable instrumentation.

An image processing device of an embodiment includes a control unit that generates a composite image and outputs the composite image to a display device, the composite image being acquired by combination of a first image captured in first exposure time and having first resolution, and a second image that is an image corresponding to a part of a region of the first image, and that is captured in second exposure time shorter than the first exposure time and has second resolution higher than the first resolution, the first image and the second image being input from an image sensor.
