A conductive film has a polygonal wiring pattern which allows an indicator of evaluation of noises to be equal to or less than an evaluation threshold value. Here, from at least one point of view, in frequencies and intensities of noises each calculated for each color from first and second peak frequencies and first and second peak intensities of 2DFFT spectra of transmittance image data of a combined wiring pattern including a random mesh pattern of a plurality of thin metal lines of a wiring portion and luminance image data of a pixel array pattern of each color at the time of lighting on for each single color, the indicator of evaluation of noise is calculated from evaluation values of noises of the respective colors obtained by applying human visual response characteristics in accordance with an observation distance to intensities of the noises equal to or greater than a first intensity threshold value among intensities of the noises at frequencies of noises equal to or less than a frequency threshold value defined by a display resolution of a display unit.

Systems and methods for correcting intensity drop-offs due to geometric properties of lenses are provided. In one example, a method includes receiving an input pixel of the image data, the image data acquired using an image sensor. A color component of the input pixel is determined. A gain grid is determined by pointing to the gain grid in external memory. Each of the plurality of grid points is associated with a lens shading gain selected based upon the color of the input pixel. A nearest set of grid points that enclose the input pixel is identified. Further, a lens shading gain is determined by interpolating the lens shading gains associated with each of the set of grid points and is applied to the input pixel.

An apparatus includes a plurality of camera units where each camera unit has a lens, a sensor that can detect at least three colors, and camera unit calibration data for each camera unit is stored in non-volatile, non-transitory memory. The apparatus also includes multi-camera auto white balance synchronization logic that is operatively coupled to each camera unit. The multi-camera auto white balance synchronization logic is operative to determine common white balance results based on the camera unit white balance results per frame and the camera calibration data. The common white balance results are provided to image signal processing pipelines such that a merged frame can be obtained by combining the frames of each camera after performing white balance and color correction using the common white balance results.

The invention provides an autonomous vehicle with a video camera that merges images taken a different light levels by replacing saturated parts of an image with corresponding parts of a lower-light image to stream a video with a dynamic range that extends to include very low-light and very intensely lit parts of a scene. The high dynamic range (HDR) camera streams the HDR video to a HDR system in real time—as the vehicle operates. As pixel values are provided by the camera's image sensors, those values are streamed directly through a pipeline processing operation and on to the HDR system without any requirement to wait and collect entire images, or frames, before using the video information.

This apparatus includes a first processing circuit section that includes a tone controller that imparts tone curve characteristics for tone adjustment to an input video signal having linear characteristics; and a second processing circuit section that includes a first curve characteristics imparting section that imparts, to the video signal processed by the first processing circuit section, first curve characteristics for output, and generates a first output video signal.

An imaging device includes an imaging section including an imaging sensor section of a rolling shutter system, a condition designator that sets an imaging condition using first auxiliary light which is non-visible light as an imaging condition for the imaging section and an imaging condition using visible light with the first auxiliary light as non-emitted light, and alternately designates the imaging condition and a light emission condition of the first auxiliary light at a cycle of at least two frames in a time division basis, a first light emitter that emits the first auxiliary light according to the light emission condition; and an image composer that composes a non-visible light image captured by the imaging section under the imaging condition using the first auxiliary light during a first period in which the first auxiliary light is emitted and a visible light image captured by the imaging section under the imaging condition using the visible light during a second period subsequent to the first period.

Articulating devices and processes for obtaining photographic images with the articulating device generally include providing the articulating device with a directional light reference for use in photographically obtaining an accurate rendition of a subject being photographed. In this manner, an incidental light reference at the subject location is provided prior to capturing an image of the subject.

A computing device may obtain an input image. The input image may have a white point represented by chrominance values that define white color in the input image. Possibly based on colors of the input image, the computing device may generate a two-dimensional chrominance histogram of the input image. The computing device may convolve the two-dimensional chrominance histogram with a filter to create a two-dimensional heat map. Entries in the two-dimensional heat map may represent respective estimates of how close respective tints corresponding to the respective entries are to the white point of the input image. The computing device may select an entry in the two-dimensional heat map that represents a particular value that is within a threshold of a maximum value in the heat map, and based on the selected entry, tint the input image to form an output image.

An information processing system is disclosed. The system includes a first information processing device; and a second information processing device, the first information processing device transmitting data to the second information processing device in response to a request from the second information processing device. The first information processing device includes first storage means and transmission means. The second information processing device includes reception means, second storage means, display control means, revision parameter setting means, and image processing means.

Corrected color components are obtained that correspond to an interpolation between a first and second corrected color component vector, in the first vector the color component are scaled to move a characteristic color component vector towards a target and in the second set the color components are contracted towards a reference determined by part of the color components. A position of the interpolation between the first and second corrected color component vectors is controlled by an interpolation coefficient computed from a ratio of an average value of the at least one of the color component in the input image or one or more reference images with similar content and an average obtained from the other color components of the input image or the or one or more reference images with similar content. The position of the interpolation is moved increasingly toward the second corrected color component vector with decreasing values of said ratio.
