    Abstract: A lens and color filter assembly contains lens units, and each lens unit is assigned to a single-color color filter unit. The lens and color filter assembly may be combined with pixel units such that a plurality of monochromatic, low-resolution images can be obtained, and the monochromatic images refer to shifted versions of the same image object. By a super-resolution technique comprising shift-compensation a mosaicked image is obtained which is then demosaiced. In the resultant image only few artifacts appear. Simple color filter arrays allow a simplified fabrication process and provide less chromatic aberrations at less computational effort.

    Abstract: A lens unit (120) shows longitudinal chromatic aberration and focuses an imaged scene into a first image for the infrared range in a first focal plane and into a second image for the visible range in a second focal plane. An optical element (150) manipulates the modulation transfer function assigned to the first and second images to extend the depth of field. An image processing unit (200) may amplify a modulation transfer function contrast in the first and second images. A focal shift between the focal planes may be compensated for. While in conventional approaches for RGBIR sensors contemporaneously providing both a conventional and an infrared image of the same scene the infrared image is severely out of focus, the present approach provides extended depth of field imaging to rectify the problem of out-of-focus blur for infrared radiation. An imaging system can be realized without any apochromatic lens.

    Abstract translation: 透镜和滤色器组件包含透镜单元,并且将每个透镜单元分配给单色滤色器单元。 透镜和滤色器组件可以与像素单元组合,使得可以获得多个单色低分辨率图像,并且单色图像指代相同图像对象的偏移版本。 通过包括移位补偿的超分辨率技术,获得马赛克图像,然后将其去马赛克。 在得到的图像中只出现少量人工制品。 简单的滤色器阵列允许简化的制造工艺,并以较少的计算量提供较少的色差。

    Abstract: A camera includes an optical system configured to record images based on light entering the optical system from an optical field of view, a radar system configured to obtain radar information of targets within a radar field of view that is overlapping with the optical field of view, the radar information including one or more of a distance information indicating the distance of targets with respect to the camera, a speed information indicating the speed of targets with respect to the camera and dimension information indicating a dimension of targets, and a control unit configured to control at least one parameter of the optical system based on the obtained radar information.

    Abstract: A device comprising a circuitry configured to obtain a sequence of digital images from an image sensor; select a region of interest within a digital image of the sequence of digital images; perform motion compensation on the region of interest to obtain a motion compensated region of interest based on motion information obtained from the sequence of digital images and a predefined accumulated time interval; define a mask pattern based on the compensated region of interest; apply the mask pattern to an electronic light valve.
