A wireless camera system includes a wireless camera for use in endoscopic procedures. The wireless camera can releasably couple with an endoscope (e.g., with a cordless disposable endoscope). The wireless camera can wirelessly transmit data to a controller, which can provide data output (e.g., snapshot images, video recording captured by the wireless camera) to an electronic display and to one or more data outputs (e.g., USB drive or other portable memory stick, to a remote computer or computer network, hard disk, compact flash drive, email, etc.).

The application provides a monitoring method, electronic device and storage medium. The method includes determining a target area to be monitored from an acquired image of a monitored scene; determining a target capture posture and a target capture focal length according to the target area; and controlling a Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) camera to capture according to the target capture posture and the target capture focal length. The application can monitor any object within the monitored scene using the PTZ camera with a good capture effect.

A near-eye display system including an optics module coupled with an electronics module having a controller. Wherein the optics module includes a planar waveguide operable to display virtual images, and a camera operable to capture pictures and videos. The planar waveguide coupled with the camera via the optics module, whereby a first view through the planar waveguide is oriented to be the same as a second view by the camera.

Disclosed are a face image and iris image acquisition method and device, a computer-readable readable storage medium and an apparatus. The method includes rotating the first tripod head to force the face lens and the iris lens to be in acquisition positions; capturing a first face image and a first iris image simultaneously by the face lens and the iris lens; and locating the iris in the first iris image, and if no iris is located, determining whether a condition of light-avoiding rotation is satisfied, and if the condition is satisfied, rotating the second tripod head to adjust an angle or a position of the supplementary light source to enable a light spot region to avoid an iris region.

An imaging device includes: an imaging unit; an imaging time information storage unit configured to store imaging time information for each imaging direction; and a distribution information generation unit configured to sequentially acquire frames from an image signal, cut out partial image information of a preset cutout range, generate distribution image information, specify an imaging direction with the longest imaging time at a predetermined determination timing, determine whether the partial image information of the cutout range acquired when the specified imaging direction is captured is included in an imaging angle of view after an imaging direction has changed, and when it is determined as being included, cut out a range corresponding to the partial image information of the cutout range acquired when the specified imaging direction is captured, from a frame to be acquired subsequently, thereby generating the distribution image information.

When a controller controls a driver so as to move a moving unit in accordance with a user's movement, the controller controls a video signal processor such that frame videos of a video signal transmitted to an image display device have a first display mode. When the controller controls the driver so as to move the moving unit regardless of the user's movement, the controller controls the video signal processor such that frame videos of a video signal transmitted to the image display device have a second display mode.

An apparatus includes a pickup unit, a detecting unit configured to detect an attitude of the pickup unit, a rotation matrix generating unit configured to generate a rotation matrix, an encoder configured to encode image data of the moving image, a selecting unit configured to select one rotation matrix generating method from the plurality of rotation matrix generating methods according to an operation mode of the pickup unit when the moving image is photographed by the pickup unit, and a file generating unit configured to generate a data file by including the rotation matrix, which is generated by means of the selected rotation matrix generating method, in the encoded image data in a format, in which the angle when the reproducing apparatus displays the moving image can be corrected by the rotation matrix.

A light socket surveillance system can be used to enable a first party to communicate with a second party. The light socket surveillance system can be used to detect an audible notification from the first party. In response to detecting the audible notification from the first party, the light socket surveillance system can initiate a communication session with a remote computing device of the second party.
