A computer, including a processor and a memory, the memory including instructions to be executed by the processor to acquire a first image with a visible and NIR light camera and acquire a second image with an infrared camera. The instructions can include further instructions to determine whether the second image includes a live human face by comparing a first infrared profile included in the second image with second infrared profile included in a previously acquired third image acquired with a the infrared camera; and when the second image includes the live human face, output the first image.

A control apparatus that acquires images from a plurality of cameras performing automatic image-capturing includes a status acquisition unit that acquires an automatic image-capturing status of each of the plurality of cameras, the automatic image-capturing status including information about a current automatic image-capturing target, a recommended camera identification unit that identifies, based on the acquired automatic image-capturing status, a camera from among the plurality of cameras for which manual image-capturing is recommended, and a notification control unit configured to perform control to provide notification a result of the identification by the recommended camera identification unit.

A plurality of cameras is secured to railroad ties to take high resolution images of the underside of a train car as it passes over this plurality of cameras. These images are important to insure the structural integrity of the parts of the rail car as well as the connection means—a coupler and pin—between two rail cars. The shutter speed of the cameras is determined by the speed of the train as it passes over the cameras. As the images are taken, the images can be downloaded and sent to a remote location for further analysis.

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.

A method and system for synchronization of image data is provided. From a plurality of image-capture devices, image data including a plurality of image sequences is received. Each image sequence corresponds to one of the plurality of image-capture devices. A set of sensor data is further received from the plurality of image-capture devices. Each sensor data comprises at least one of an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data and audio data. Based on the received set of sensor data, a match is determined between a first set of image frames of a first image sequence and a second set of image frames of a second image sequence. An offset is computed between the first set of image frames and the second set of image frames, based on the match and the first image sequence is synchronized with the second image sequence based on the computed offset.

A proximity alarm assembly includes a personal electronic device that has wireless communication capabilities.
