11539874 · 2022-12-27 · ·

The image-capturing apparatus (100) includes an image sensor (14), a focus detector (42) performing focus detection using output from the image sensor; and a controller (50) configured to cause the focus detector to perform the focus detection and configured to control emission of a light emitter for illuminating an object and movement of a focus element for focusing. The controller selectively performs: a first focus detection process that causes the focus detector to perform the focus detection with the focus element being stopped while causing the light emitter to intermittently emit light; and a second focus detection process that causes the focus detector to perform the focus detection with the focus element being moved while causing the light emitter to intermittently emit the light.

Detection, counting and identification of occupants in vehicles

A method of detecting occupants in a vehicle includes detecting an oncoming vehicle and acquiring a plurality of images of occupants in the vehicle in response to detection of the vehicle. The method includes performing automated facial detection on the plurality of images and adding a facial image for each face detected to a gallery of facial images for the occupants of the vehicle. The method includes performing automated facial recognition on the gallery of facial images to group the facial images into groups based on which occupant is in the respective facial images, and counting the final group of unique facial images to determine how many occupants are in the vehicle.

An optical device may include an optical fiber having a fixed end and a free end; a first actuator positioned at a actuator position between the fixed end and the free end and configured to apply a first force on the actuator position of the optical fiber such that a movement of the free end of the optical fiber in a first direction is caused, wherein the first direction is orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the optical fiber; and a deformable rod disposed adjacent to the optical fiber, and having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is connected to a first rod position of the optical fiber and the second end is connected to a second rod position of the optical fiber.

Apparatus, system and method for authenticating identification documents

A document scanner includes an enclosure with a scanning area. A transparent platform in the scanning area allows a user to position a document for authentication. A top camera takes a picture of the top of the document and a bottom camera takes a picture of the bottom under multiple light conditions including UV, IR, and white light. Mirrors reduce the enclosure size and multiple computers within the enclosure share work to process image data and determine document type. Types are searched in order based historically detected types. Barcode data is decoded and image samples are filtered as one of the computers finds a match. Security features are checked for the detected type and fake variants of the detected type are checked. Card information and formatting is validated and face data captured from a face camera and as shown on the document are matched against a database of banned users.
