    Abstract: An imaging device may be configured to monitor a field of view for various objects or events occurring therein. The imaging device may capture a plurality of images at various focal lengths, identify a region of interest including one or more semantic objects therein, and determine measures of the levels of blur or sharpness within the regions of interest of the images. Based on their respective focal lengths and measures of their respective levels of blur or sharpness, a focal length for capturing subsequent images with sufficient clarity may be predicted. The imaging device may be adjusted to capture images at the predicted focal length, and such images may be captured. Feedback for further adjustments to the imaging device may be identified by determining measures of the levels of blur or sharpness within the subsequently captured images.

    Abstract: Depth information may be encoded into pixels of visual imaging data according to steganographic techniques. The depth information may be captured simultaneously with the visual imaging data, and one or more representative pixels may be identified within a region or sector of the visual imaging data according to a pixel traversal strategy. The depth information corresponding to the region or sector may be encoded into one or more least significant bits of the representative pixels, and a modified set of imaging data including the visual imaging data with the depth information encoded into the representative pixels may be stored in a data store and used for any relevant purpose.

    Abstract: 3D models of objects in motion may be generated using depth imaging data and visual imaging data captured at different times. A 3D model of an object in motion at a first position may be generated at a first time and projected forward to a second position corresponding to a second time. Imaging data captured from the object at the second position at the second time may be compared to the projected-forward 3D model of the object at the second position. Differences between the imaging data and the projected-forward 3D model may be used to modify the 3D model, as necessary, until an accurate and precise 3D representation of the object has been derived.

    Abstract: A reflected light identification (RLID) system uses light to communicate stored information across long distances with minimal interference. The RLID system may include a light source that directs an incident light signal to an RLID structure, which then transmits an encoded light signal to a sensor. The RLID system may include a passive RLID structure (i.e., a structure that does not include power source) such as an RLID reflection surface that includes layered reflective films that reflect the incident light signal back in multiple reflections that serially encodes data. The RLID system may also include an active RLID structure (i.e., a structure that includes power source) that uses energy harvesting to extract and accumulate power from an incident light signal, and then uses the harvested energy to transmit a return signal.

    Abstract: Blur metrics may be calculated for each of the image pixels of a digital image of a scene captured using an imaging device. The blur metrics may be indicative of the level of blur expressed in the digital image, and a blur image representative of the blur metrics may be generated. Subsequently, when another digital image is to be captured using the imaging device, pixel sensors corresponding to high blur metrics may be digitized at a high level of priority, or at a high rate, compared to pixel sensors corresponding to low blur metrics, which may be digitized at a low level of priority, or at a low rate. The blur images may be updated based on changes in blur observed in subsequent images, and different pixel sensors may be digitized at higher or lower levels of priority, or at higher or lower rates, based on the changes in blur.
