The driving assistance system includes an imaging device capable of capturing a first monochrome image in a vehicle traveling direction, a first neural network for segmentation processing, a second neural network for depth estimation processing, a determination portion determining a center of a portion cut off from the first monochrome image on the basis of the segmentation processing and the depth estimation processing, a third neural network for colorization processing of only a second cut-off monochrome image, and a display device for enlargement of the second monochrome image subjected to the colorization processing.

Adaptive recoloring of displayed digital content automatically pursues specified active color palette goals while adhering to specified active color palette constraints. Source code editors, word processors, and other programs are enhanced by adaptive recoloring. Recoloring rules may specify coloring roles, colors, tolerances, color spaces, metrics, and other criteria. Recoloring may be triggered by a zoom or another change in user focus, by a brightness change, a screen size change, by notice of a user perception change, or by another event. Recoloring improves text legibility, assists user focus, compensates for differences in color perception and emotional impact, and increases color availability without degrading usability, for example. Transitions between words or other display items can be heightened. Branding colors may be preserved, in logos and text. Automatic selections may be overridden by a user command or by interactive tuning, with warnings given as appropriate.

An apparatus may include (1) a planar liquid-crystal structure including a plurality of liquid crystals, and (2) a plurality of electrodes coupled to the planar liquid-crystal structure such that (a) when a first plurality of voltages are applied to at least some of the plurality of electrodes, the plurality of liquid crystals are oriented such that the planar liquid-crystal structure operates as a diffraction grating having a first pitch, and (2) when a second plurality of voltages are applied to at least some of the plurality of electrodes, the plurality of liquid crystals are oriented such that the planar liquid-crystal structure operates as a diffraction grating having a second pitch different from the first pitch.

An apparatus includes a camera and a processor circuit. The camera may be configured to capture color images in response to visible light and monochrome infrared images in response to infrared light. The processor circuit may be configured to extract color features from the color images and add color to corresponding monochrome features detected in the monochrome infrared images.

Color filters are used for color images obtained using imaging devices such as conventional image sensors. Imaging elements with color filters are sold, and an appropriate combination of the imaging element and a lens or the like is incorporated in an electronic device. Only providing a color filter to overlap a light-receiving region of an image sensor reduces the amount of light reaching the light-receiving region. An imaging system of the present invention includes a solid-state imaging element without a color filter, a storage device, and a learning device. Since the color filter is not included, colorization is performed on obtained monochrome image data (analog data), and coloring is performed using an AI system.

An imaging system of the present invention includes a solid-state imaging element without a color filter, a storage device, and a learning device. As a selection standard for reducing the amount of learning data, in an HSV color space, saturation is used, and selection is performed so that the saturation has optimal distribution. When colorization disclosed in this specification is performed, the colorization and object highlight processing can be performed at the same time.

Systems and methods for constructing a live panoramic view from real-time streaming digital image data may include, by a computing device in real-time and for each identified digital image of a plurality of received digital images, a location of the received digital image may be determined within a panoramic view. The panoramic view may be updated with the received digital image based on the determined location, and the updated panoramic view may be displayed. The plurality of digital images may include standard video frames and/or optimized video frames received with the real-time streaming digital image data. The optimized video frames may be captured with one or more associated imaging parameters optimized for use in the panoramic view.
