A tool for providing contextual policy-based computer vision control. The tool identifies one or more camera devices in an environment. The tool determines a plurality of vision areas in a field of view within the environment. The tool determines one or more contextual policies for the plurality of vision areas in the field of view. The tool determines one or more vision augmentations for the plurality of vision areas based, at least in part, on an aggregate computer vision capability of the one or more camera devices in the environment and the one or more contextual policies for the plurality of vision areas in the field of view. The tool applies the one or more vision augmentations to at least one of the one or more camera devices in the environment.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for a virtual reality head-mounted apparatus are provided. One of the apparatus includes: an apparatus body being provided with a convex lens and a camera, the camera being located on a user side of the convex lens, and a lens of the camera facing an eye of the user to acquire eye pattern features of the user. The virtual reality head-mounted apparatus may acquire eye pattern features of the user without interrupting the displaying of virtual reality contents, and quickly and accurately perform identity verification on the user based on the eye pattern features.

A server includes a memory storing instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to obtain an inside-fridge image captured in a refrigerator by comparing a pre-stored image to the obtained inside-fridge image, identify whether a change area in which a change occurred in the obtained inside-fridge image is present in the obtained inside-fridge image, based on the change area being not present in the obtained inside-fridge image, obtain first food storage information, using a first result of recognizing the pre-stored image, based on the change area being present in the obtained inside-fridge image, obtain second food storage information, using the obtained first food storage information and a second result of recognizing an object included in the obtained inside-fridge image, and transmit, to the refrigerator, the obtained inside-fridge image and either one or both of the obtained first food storage information and the obtained second food storage information.

A rear-view mirror and modular monitor system and method include an interior mirror that embeds a modular monitor behind see-through mirror glass. In some embodiments, the system includes multiple cameras, some in the vehicle, bus and/or truck, as well as some cameras outside the vehicle, bus and/or truck, advantageously providing the driver an opportunity to view what is happening, for example, in the back rows of the bus and/or cabin, while also using the mirror to look at objects in the bus and/or cabin that are visible using the mirror. The rear-view mirror and modular monitor system is configured to be easily assembled and/or disassembled when necessary for maintenance and/or to replace parts.

A camera module includes a housing, and a first frame and a second frame sequentially disposed in the housing in an optical axis direction. The second frame includes a lens module configured to rotate together with the second frame about a first rotation axis and a second rotation axis, intersecting an optical axis direction. The first rotation axis is formed between the housing and an opposing surface of the first frame in the optical axis direction by first ball members disposed in a direction intersecting the optical axis direction. The second rotation axis is formed between the first fame and an opposing surface of the second frame in the optical axis direction by second ball members disposed in a direction intersecting the optical axis direction and the first rotation axis direction.

A video gateway device at a worksite (or other location) automatically locates cameras on the network, authenticates the gateway device with the cameras, and initiates streaming of a video stream (and/or other camera sensor data) from the cameras. For example, a worksite with existing cameras from multiple manufacturers, models, and/or capabilities may all be automatically registered with the video gateway devices through a series of automated communication and authentication attempts.

An ultrasonic welding device includes a sonotrode, an anvil, a receiving chamber in which joining partners to be welded are to be received and which is defined on opposing sides by the sonotrode on the one hand and by the anvil on the other hand, and a camera assembly with at least one camera which is integrated in the ultrasonic welding device. The camera assembly is configured to record images of at least one partial region of the receiving chamber for the optical monitoring of welding conditions which have an impact on welds of the joining partners.

The present invention provides a method for correcting an anomalous pixel and an apparatus. The method for correcting the anomalous pixel comprises: calculating a matching index of pixels in a first point cloud map and a second point cloud map; finding out an anomalous pixel based on the matching index of the pixels and a correction threshold; and calculating a correction column difference, and correcting the anomalous pixel based on the correction column difference and the matching index of the pixels. The anomalous pixel in the point cloud map is retained and corrected, thus the pixel integrity of an image is guaranteed; and a mode for correcting the anomalous pixel is simple, requires fewer calculating steps, and exhibits high anomalous pixel correction efficiency. The apparatus provided by the present invention comprises a first camera, a second camera, an image processing unit, an indexing unit, a calculating unit, a judging unit, and a correction execution unit, and is used for improving the efficiency of correcting an anomalous pixel in an image.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle. The vehicle includes a first set of cameras, including a first subset of cameras facing to the front of the vehicle; a second set of cameras, with focal lengths less than those of the first set of cameras, the second set of cameras including a second and a third subset of cameras, the second subset of cameras facing to the front of the vehicle, and third subset of cameras facing to a side front and/or a side of the vehicle; and a third set of cameras, with focal lengths less than those of the second set of cameras, the third set of cameras including a fourth and a fifth subset of camera, the fourth subset of cameras facing to the front of the vehicle, and the fifth subset of camera facing to the side front and/or side of the vehicle.

An information processing apparatus according to one embodiment of the present disclosure obtains image capturing information including information representing a position and an orientation of an image capturing device and movement information representing specific movement of the image capturing device; and generates viewpoint information representing a position of a virtual viewpoint and a view direction from the virtual viewpoint for generating a virtual viewpoint video based on the obtained image capturing information and the obtained movement information in a case where a captured image obtained by the image capturing device and the virtual viewpoint video generated based on a plurality of images are switched.
