A system, method, and device for remotely controlling the camera functions of a mobile camera phone are disclosed. The mobile camera phone and another device are communicable with one another using the Bluetooth™ protocol. Each includes a Bluetooth module (210) that establishes a wireless connection with one another (310) such that data and instructions can be exchanged. The other device receives and displays data representative of the mobile camera phone's viewfmder (350). A camera application is coupled with Hie Bluetooth module (210) for establishing a master/slave relationship (320) with a corresponding camera application (220) in the mobile camera phone. The other device sends camera control commands to the mobile camera phone wherein the camera control commands can manipulate camera settings (360), take a picture (380), and dispose of the resultant picture (390). The other device further includes a user interface coupled with the display (140) that provides a means of inputting data to manipulate the camera application (220).

Remote control and viewfinder for mobile camera phone

A system and method for reducing the data-rate when processing video, particularly wide-angle video.

Data reduction techniques for processing wide-angle video

A plurality of modules interact to form an adaptive network in which each module transmits and receives data signals indicative of proximity of objects A central computer accumulates the data produced or received and relayed by each module for analyzing proximity responses to transmit through the adaptive network control signals to a selectively-addressed module to respond to computer analyzes of the data accumulated from modules forming the adaptive network Interactions of local processors in modules that sense an intrusion determine the location and path of movements of the intruding object and control cameras in the modules to retrieve video images of the intruding object Multiple operational frequencies in adaptive networks permit expansions by additional networks that each operate at separate radio frequencies to avoid overlapping interaction Additional modules may be introduced into operating networks without knowing the operating frequency at the time of introduction New programs are distributed to all or selected modules under control of the base station

Interactive surveillance network and method

Methods, systems, and techniques to enhance computer vision application processing are disclosed. In particular, the methods, systems, and techniques may reduce power consumption for computer vision applications and improve processing efficiency for computer vision applications.

Computer vision application processing

Camera sections pick up divided images obtained by dividing a panorama image to generate image data at a high resolution. Image data processing sections perform compression encoding on the image data at the high resolution through encoder to obtain first compressed image data. The image data processing sections perform size change to obtain image data at a low resolution and perform compression encoding on the image data through another encoder to obtain second compressed image data. A data transfer section transmits the first and second compressed image data through a network to an image display apparatus.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing apparatus or the like capable of exactly grasping a change in circumstances of a captured image, even in a system where the capability of a display device is not sufficient, or the capability of a network is not sufficient. SOLUTION: A camera unit detects a change in circumstances surrounding the camera unit. In response to detection of the change, the camera unit captures (S11) an image. From the captured image, the camera unit extracts (S12) a partial image corresponding to an area in which the change in circumstances occurred. The camera unit transmits (S13) the extracted partial image to a server unit. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
