    摘要: Methods, Systems, and Devices are disclosed for using drone imaging to capture images. Capture instructions are provided to a drone device to aid in image capture. The capture instructions may include factors-of-interest. The factors-of-interest may include subject faces derived from a collection of images stored at a user device such as a cell phone. The factors-of-interest may also include information derived from images associated with an event, geographical and temporal information associated with the event and social graph information received from a social network and used to determine subject faces to target for image capture by the drone device. The factors-of-interest may also include current geographical location information of one or more friends identified in the social graph. This information may also be used to locate subjects for image capture. The social graph information may also be used to distribute any images captured to subjects appearing in those images.

    摘要: An arrangement for light sheet microscopy that includes a means for scanning a sample volume with a light sheet, which includes an angle δ≠90° with the optical axis of an objective. The light sheet passes through the entire sample volume in the propagation direction, and the depth of field Sobj of the objective is less than the optical-axis depth T of this sample volume. An optical device, disposed downstream of the objective, increases the depth of field Sobj to a depth of field Seff≧the depth T of this sample volume. The arrangement also includes a means for positioning the sample volume within the region of the depth of field Seff. A spatially resolving optoelectronic area sensor is disposed downstream of the optical device, and hardware and software are provided to generate sample-volume images from the electronic image signals output by the area sensor.

    摘要: Thermal imaging devices, systems, and methods are provided with IR sensor amplification techniques that in some cases provide a gain transfer function having at least two different gain regions. One thermal imaging camera includes an IR camera module, processing circuitry, and an amplifier stage that comprises a continuous gain function including at least two gain regions having different gains. In some cases a thermal imager is provided with saturation circuitry configured to reduce the gain of the amplifier stage in order to provide one of at least two different gain regions within the continuous gain function. In some cases amplification techniques provide a continuous gain function that includes both linear and nonlinear gain regions. One or more gain regions may further be calibrated for measuring temperature.

    摘要: A film scanner for the optical scanning of a motion picture film having a sequence of a plurality of image regions and at least one row of a plurality of perforation holes in the longitudinal direction, in particular a motion picture film of the type 16 mm or 35 mm, comprises an image sensor for the detection at least of a respective image region of the motion picture film to generate a corresponding scanned image. The film scanner further comprises an evaluation unit for the evaluation of the scanned image to generate an image steadiness correction signal. The image sensor is made for the additional detection of only a respective part region of perforation holes in the environment of the detected image region of the motion picture film, with the evaluation unit being made to determine a position of the detected part region of at least one perforation hole. The evaluation unit generates the image steadiness correction signal on the basis of the at least one determined part region position.

    摘要: A method of capturing and processing a multi-spectral image of an object comprises placing the object on a flat-bed scanner (1), using the flat-bed scanner (1) to illuminate the object successively with monochromatic light at a series of wave-lengths to produce a plurality of images together forming a composite multi-spectral image, determining a spectral profile of at least a portion of the multi-spectral image and comparing the spectral profile to a stored spectral profile (22, 24).

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention enable image capture, alignment, and registration. Certain applications of the present invention are its use in various embodiments of a system for inspection of a printed circuit board (“PCB”) substrate. In embodiments, an image capture system comprising a camera and a two-dimensional surface supporting an image may be calibrated based on configuration parameters of an image to be captured and of a simulated reference bitmap based on the image. In embodiments, the position of the image to be captured on the two-dimensional surface is determined based on calibration parameters. In embodiments, a sequence of images may be captured of sections of an image that cannot be captured in a single scan. A scan path across the image may be determined that is based in part on calibration parameters. In embodiments, consistency of quality of captured images is maintained by validating selected characteristics of each image as it is being captured and by validating the alignment of each captured image with a corresponding simulated reference bitmap.
