TL;DR: In this article, a camera bracket is coupled to a boom, a proximal end of which extends outside the housing to enable additional positioning of the digital video camera by user adjustment of the proximal ends of the boom.
Abstract: A videoendoscopic surgery training system includes a housing defining a practice volume in which a simulated anatomical structure is disposed. Surgical instruments can be inserted into the practice volume to access the anatomical structure. A digital video camera is disposed within the housing to image the anatomical structure on a display. The position of the digital video camera is supported within the practice volume by a camera bracket that enables a position of the video camera relative to the bracket to be selectively changed, thereby changing a viewing angle achieved by the video camera. In one embodiment the camera bracket is coupled to a boom, a proximal end of which extends outside the housing to enable additional positioning of the digital video camera by user adjustment of the proximal end of the boom. The housing preferably includes a light source configured to illuminate the anatomical structure.

06 Sep 2012TL;DR: In this paper, a digital camera component is described that has a light splitter cube having an entrance face to receive incident light from a camera scene, which splits the incident light into first, second, and third color components that emerge from the cube through a first face, a second face, and a third face of the cube, respectively.
Abstract: A digital camera component is described that has a light splitter cube having an entrance face to receive incident light from a camera scene. The cube splits the incident light into first, second, and third color components that emerge from the cube through a first face, a second face, and a third face of the cube, respectively. First, second, and third image sensors are provided, each being positioned to receive a respective one of the color components that emerge from the first, second, and third faces of the cube. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

27 Oct 2006TL;DR: In this article, the sharpest image was selected to be the sharp image of the video sequence, and comparison of this sharp image with the (down-sampled) captured image provided blur function iterative estimation.
Abstract: Deblurring of digital camera images by estimating the blur function from an image extracted from a video sequence taken about the time of an image capture. The extracted image is selected to be the sharpest of the images of the video sequence, and comparison of this sharpest image with the (down-sampled) captured image provides blur function iterative estimation.

21 Jul 2004TL;DR: A sensor mounting system for enabling image stabilization in a digital camera is described in this paper, where an electronic array light sensor is moved in relation to other parts of the camera in response to camera motion.
Abstract: A sensor mounting system for enabling image stabilization in a digital camera is described An electronic array light sensor is moved in relation to other parts of the camera in response to camera motion In one embodiment, the sensor is moved by at least one linear motor having a ferrofluid in a gap of the linear motor Other aspects of the system are described, including methods of heat sinking the sensor, a suspension system, methods of compensating for an effect of temperature on the ferrofluid, and a compact magnet configuration for forming the linear motor and providing feedback as to the position of the sensor

TL;DR: In this paper, a Fully Automatic, Head Mounted, Hand and Eye Free Camera System and Photography is described, which consists of three components: a head mounted camera header, a portable personal computer and a hand hold controller.
Abstract: A Fully Automatic, Head Mounted, Hand and Eye Free Camera System and Photography are disclosed. The Fully Automatic, Head Mounted, Hand and Eye Free Camera System consist of three components: A) a Head Mounted Camera Header, B) a Portable Personal Computer, and C) a Hand Hold Controller. The component A (Head Mounted Camera Header) is composed of two set of Eye Ball Trackers/Range Finder/Digital Camera Headers. The component B (Portable Personal Computer) control Eye Ball Tracker and the Range Finder to determine the direction of eye sight and the distance between the eye and the target, and adjusts the lens of the Digital Camera Header to aim at and focus on target to take pictures or record video and to save the pictures or video to the storage of the Portable Personal Computer. The user control whole system by pressing the buttons at component C (Hand Hold Controller). The aiming, focusing, and the capturing procedure is automatic, continuous, and in the real time, and is a true process of “What you see is what you get (photo or video)”.
