Systems and methods include an image capture component configured to capture infrared images of a scene, and a logic device configured to identify a target in the images, acquire temperature data associated with the target based on the images, evaluate the temperature data and determine a corresponding temperature classification, and process the identified target in accordance with the temperature classification. The logic device identifies a person and tracks the person across a subset of the images, identify a measurement location for the target in a subset of the images based on target feature points identified by a neural network, and measure a temperature of the location using corresponding values from one or more captured thermal images. The logic device is further configured calculate a core body temperature of the target using the temperature data to determine whether the target has a fever and calibrate using one or more black bodies.
INSPECTION SYSTEM FOR CONSTRUCTION MACHINE
A remote control system 1 having a function as an inspection system includes a plurality of cameras 25, 60 which are located in a location environment of a construction machine 10, a captured image processing unit 50a configured to cause a display unit 45 to display captured images, and a camera selection unit 50b configured to select an inspection camera from the plurality of cameras 25, 60 at a time of inspection of the construction machine 10. The captured image processing unit 50a is configured to receive an image captured by the selected inspection camera to include an image of a portion to be inspected and cause the display unit 45 to display the captured image.
ZOOM OPTICAL SYSTEM, OPTICAL APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE ZOOM OPTICAL SYSTEM
A variable-power optical system (ZL) is constituted by, in order from the object side and along the optical axis, the following: a first lens group (G1) that has a positive refractive power; a second lens group (G2); a third lens group (G3) that has a negative refractive power; and a rear group (GR) that includes a plurality of lens groups. When power is varied from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, the interval between the first lens group and the second lens group increases, the interval between the second lens group and the third lens group increases, and the interval between the third lens group and a lens group in the rear group positioned closest to the object decreases, thus satisfying the following conditional equation:
0.10<D1/D2<1.80, where D1 is the length on the optical axis from the lens plane closest to the object of the first lens group to the lens plane closest to the image, and D2 is the length on the optical axis from the lens plane closest to the object of the second lens group to the lens plane closest to the image.
FOLDED CAMERA WITH CONTINUOUSLY ADAPTIVE ZOOM FACTOR
Folded Tele cameras comprising an optical path folding element (OPFE) for folding a first optical path OP1 to a second optical path OP2, a lens including N=8 lens elements, the lens being divided into three lens groups numbered, in order from an object side of the lens, G1, G2 and G3, and an image sensor, wherein G1 and G3 are included in a single G13 carrier, wherein G2 is included in a G2 carrier, wherein both the G13 carrier and the G2 carrier include rails for defining the position of G2 relative to G13, wherein the Tele camera is configured to change a zoom factor continuously between a minimum zoom factor ZF.sub.MIN and a maximum zoom factor ZF.sub.MAX by moving the G2 carrier relative to the G13 carrier and by moving the G13 carrier relative to the image sensor, and wherein an effective focal length (EFL) is 7.5 mm<EFL<50 mm. The G2 carrier may be positioned by a lens transporter within the G13 carrier at a particular zoom factor to form a lens pair to enable optical investigation and/or transporting of the lens pair.
Systems and methods of detecting and identifying an object
Systems and methods of detecting and identifying objects are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a method performed by one of a plurality of network nodes, with each network node having an optical sensor and being operable to wirelessly communicate with at least one other network node, comprises sending, by a network node over a wireless communication channel, to another network node, an indication associated with an object that is detected and identified by the network node based on one more images of that object that are captured by the optical sensor of the network node. Further, the detection and identification of the object is contemporaneous with the capture of the one or more images of that object. Also, the network node is operable to control a spatial orientation of the sensor so that the sensor has a viewing angle towards the object.
System and method for remote viewing of vehicles using drones
Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for generating a flight path for aerial drones around parked vehicles, where the flight path navigates an aerial drone to specific locations associated with predetermined views of the vehicle. A remotely located user can select from a list of predetermined views where the drone should travel, and the computer system can direct the drone to a location associated with the selected view, align the camera on the drone to capture the selected view, and relay live video of the selected view of the parked car to the user.
Modifying capture of video data by an image capture device based on video data previously captured by the image capture device
Various client devices include displays and one or more image capture devices configured to capture video data. Different users of an online system may authorize client devices to exchange information captured by their respective image capture devices. Additionally, a client device modifies captured video data based on users identified in the video data. For example, the client device changes parameters of the image capture device to more prominently display a user identified in the video data and may further change parameters of the image capture device based on gestures or movement of the user identified in the video data. The client device may apply multiple models to captured video data to modify the captured video data or subsequent capturing of video data by the image capture device.
Avian detection systems and methods
Provided herein are detection systems and related methods for detecting moving objects in an airspace surrounding the detection system. In an aspect, the moving object is a flying animal and the detection system comprises a first imager and a second imager that determines position of the moving object and for moving objects within a user selected distance from the system the system determines whether the moving object is a flying animal, such as a bird or bat. The systems and methods are compatible with wind turbines to identify avian(s) of interest in airspace around wind turbines and, if necessary, take action to minimize avian strike by a wind turbine blade.
ENHANCED OBJECT DETECTION
Systems and techniques are provided for processing image data. According to some aspects, a process can include obtaining a frame captured using an image sensor of a device. The process can include detecting an orientation of the device using a position sensor. The process can further include determining, based on the orientation, a transform to be applied to a region of interest in the frame. The process can include applying the transform to the region of interest. The process can further include providing the transformed region of interest to the object detection algorithm.
