Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that validate the synchronization of controllers in an aquaculture environment. One of the methods includes an image processor that receives images generated by a first image generating device that includes a light filter that is associated with light of a particular light frequency while an aquaculture environment was illuminated with light. Based on the image that was generated by the first image generating device, the image processor determines whether the intensity value of the light frequency in the image satisfies a threshold value. Based on determining whether the intensity value of the light frequency in the image satisfies the threshold value, the image processor determines whether the aquaculture environment was illuminated with light of the particular light frequency when the image was generated. The image processor provides for output an indication of whether the aquaculture was illuminated with light of the particular frequency when the image was generated.

The illumination controller is configured to set a phase for an emission timing of the illumination light in an exposure period during which the imager stores the electric charge to be an identical phase at the frequency in each frame, and refer to respective phases set in exposure periods of chronologically adjacent frames to set an emission timing of the illumination light in the readout period.

An imaging element incorporates a reading portion that reads out captured image data at a first frame rate, a storage portion that stores the image data, a processing portion that processes the image data, and an output portion that outputs the processed image data at a second frame rate lower than the first frame rate. The reading portion reads out the image data of each of a plurality of frames in parallel. The storage portion stores, in parallel, each image data read out in parallel by the reading portion. The processing portion performs generation processing of generating output image data of one frame using the image data of each of the plurality of frames stored in the storage portion.

A series of smart phones are mounted in respective tripods to capture motion of a person wearing markers, such as marker balls or reflectors. The videos from the phones are stripped of objects other than the markers and the videos of the markers are combined to render a 3D motion capture structure that may be applied to an image of a VR icon to cause the VR icon to move as the person originally moved.

A method for reducing abasing artefacts in an output image may include obtaining a plurality of input images captured by a plurality of cameras, each camera having a different field of view of an environment surrounding a vehicle, wherein the plurality of input images are mapped to the output image to represent the environment, from a predefined virtual point of view. The method may further include for each pixel position in the output image, obtaining a first pixel density value corresponding to a first output pixel position in the output image; and upon determining that the first pixel density value is higher than a threshold, calculating a first output brightness value corresponding to the first output pixel position based at least on a plurality of brightness values corresponding to a plurality of neighboring pixels of a corresponding position in a first input image of the plurality of input images.

A method for aligning a camera lens with a light source is provided. The method is used in an aligning system. The aligning system includes an alignment element, a reference camera and a fixture. Firstly, the reference camera shoots a reference chart on the alignment element. Then, the light source is placed on the fixture. The light source illuminates the alignment element to generate an illumination result. The reference camera shoots the illumination result. If the illumination result does not comply with a preset specification represented by the reference chart, the fixture adjusts the light source. Then, the camera lens is placed on the fixture. Then, the camera lens shoots the reference chart on the alignment element to acquire a shooting result. If the shooting result does not comply with the preset specification, the fixture adjusts the camera lens.
