Provided is a user equipment for controlling a drone. The user equipment analyzes an original video to control the drone to photograph a reproduction video giving a feeling identical to or similar to the original video. An electronic device may be connected to an artificial intelligence module, a robot, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, a device related to 5G service, and the like.

Provided is a method of protecting private information from illegal photography by an unmanned aerial vehicle, which includes receiving information about an area to capture, from the unmanned aerial vehicle or an unmanned aerial vehicle pilot, in advance, by wired or wireless communication, transmitting the information about an area to capture, to a private information protection subject who wants to protect private information about the area to capture, by wired or wireless communication, receiving information about a first action to protect private information accompanying image capturing, from the private information protection subject, by wired or wireless communication, and transmitting the information about a first action to protect private information, the information being received from the private information protection subject, to the unmanned aerial vehicle or the unmanned aerial vehicle pilot who is going to capture an image, by wired or wireless communication.

A 3D image-capturing device that includes at least one camera that acquires a 2D image and distance information of an object, a monitor that displays the 2D image acquired by the camera, and at least one processor including hardware. The processor acquires a first area for which the distance information is not required in the 2D image displayed on the monitor, and sets an image-capturing condition so that the amount of distance information acquired by the camera in the acquired first area is less than or equal to a prescribed first threshold and the amount of distance information acquired by the camera in a second area, which is at least part of an area other than the first area, is greater than a prescribed second threshold that is larger than the first threshold.

An image processing unit of a processor for an endoscope includes: an emphasis processing calculation unit performing nonlinear gradation conversion for a pixel value of a pixel of interest, using each pixel of a captured image as the pixel of interest; and a preprocessing unit setting a reference upper limit characteristic line and a reference lower limit characteristic line in order to adjust an output pixel value after the nonlinear gradation conversion and calculating a degree of variation in pixel values in a partial setting region around the pixel of interest. The emphasis processing calculation unit calculates an output ratio of the output pixel value to a maximum pixel value that can be taken by the captured image, an adjustment upper limit value and an adjustment lower limit value, and an emphasis-processed pixel value, using the adjustment upper limit value, the adjustment lower limit value, and the output ratio.

An access management system includes a mobile device with a processor and a memory and a software platform including at least a processor and a memory. The software platform is configured to analyze data obtained from the mobile device and other devices connected to the software platform. Specifically, the software platform is operable to determine if an access key received, read, or captured by a mobile device matches an access key for an authorized account, object, device, or space for the mobile device, and to provide access to the mobile device if the access key received, read, or captured by the mobile device matches the authorized access key.

A method and a system configured to execute the mentioned method is suggested, where the method is capturing media content associated with at least one object, using a plurality of media capturing devices, each carried by a mobile communication device, together forming a mobile media device. The method comprise: controlling each of the mobile media devices according to a respective, predefined role and role specific rules for mobile media device movements, while capturing media content, following the movement of the at least one determined object; acquiring sensor data, indicative of the mobile media device movements, from the mobile media devices, and updating the roles of the mobile media devices, based on the acquired sensor data.

A portable photogrammetry studio for digitisation of human body surfaces.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for generating a flight path for aerial drones around parked vehicles, where the flight path navigates an aerial drone to specific locations associated with predetermined views of the vehicle. A remotely located user can select from a list of predetermined views where the drone should travel, and the computer system can direct the drone to a location associated with the selected view, align the camera on the drone to capture the selected view, and relay live video of the selected view of the parked car to the user.

Systems and methods are provided to perform PdM surveys using data acquisition units which scan screen multiple locations where equipment or structures to be evaluated are present. Video data will be acquired and processed to measure translational and vibratory motion and additional data will be collected from other camera, sensors or via data links. The motion present in the equipment or structures under test and the supplemental data will be automatically evaluated to detect suspect equipment conditions and to minimize the amount of video data maintained on the data acquisition unit and transmitted back the central PdM server for review by a PdM analyst and long term archival.

An alarm system includes a monitoring component configured to detect a danger in a dwelling, and an alert component that includes an array of vibration devices placed throughout the dwelling. Each of the array of vibration devices are configured to provide a tactile alert in response to a detection of the danger in the dwelling. In another aspect, an alarm system includes a monitoring component configured to detect a ventilation-related danger in a building, and a mitigation component configured to open at least one of a door or a window in the building automatically in response to a detection of the ventilation-related danger. In a further aspect, a method includes monitoring a building for a ventilation-related danger, and opening at least one of a door or a window in the building automatically in response to a detection of the ventilation-related danger.
