Camera control system with image parameter display device

Abstract: A camera control system acquires present camera parameter information, and simultaneously displays camera parameter information set by a user and the acquired present camera parameter information to facilitate appropriate remote control of camera operation via a network.

Camera tripold with memory storage and power source

Abstract: The present invention extends one or both of memory capacity and battery capacity of a digital camera. A camera tripod includes a tripod memory, a camera mount, and a set of legs that supports the camera mount. The camera tripod may further include a tripod power source. The camera mount electrically interfaces a digital camera to the tripod memory and optionally to the tripod power source. A method of using a camera tripod with a digital camera includes connecting the digital camera to the camera mount to interface the tripod memory to the digital camera, and transferring data between a memory of the connected digital camera and the tripod memory. The method may further include interfacing to the tripod power source to transfer energy to the connected digital camera that one or both of recharges a battery of the digital camera and powers the digital camera.

A Novel Approach for Smart and Cost Effective IoT Based Elderly Fall Detection System Using Pi Camera

Abstract: In our society, yearly 33% of senior citizens fall down in their residential area. When our family members come to old age, it becomes essential to monitor them for their in-home health and safety. Although they dwell in home, because of illness and weedy joints they have a big threat of falling down in any corner of home premises. In such circumstances, it becomes significant to recognize if an elderly person has fallen so that he/she can get quick help on time. Physically handicapped person on wheelchair also requires to be monitored for fall detection. Currently CCTV Camera-based monitoring systems are in existence but these systems are very expensive. Common man cannot afford such system. For these reasons we propose a novel, smart and cost-effective fall-detection system by merging latest technology as Internet of Things and existing algorithms like Motion History Image and C-Motion. This system uses low-cost Pi Camera mounted on Raspberry Pi to monitor and detect person's fall-like movements. Pi Camera is a smart camera can be easily fixed on windows and walls of living room. System will be watching keenly for fall detection and unexpected motion changes in targeted person. An unexpected abrupt change with peak in the system is treated as a fall. In case of the person did not fall and alarm was false, then the system will have a provision to stop the alert within 5 seconds. If within stipulated time, person does not press stop button, system will consider it's as fall- activity and automatically sends an alert message via Wi-Fi to victim's take-givers for quick medical help.

Camera Device Systems and Methods

Abstract: Disclosed are various systems and methods implemented in a camera device. An image sensor is configured to capture image data of a target scene from a lens system and a subject feedback mechanism generates framing feedback associated with the image data that includes information about a current framing of an image associated with the image data. Video capture logic also obtains motion information from motion sensors integrated into the camera device and skip frame capture when motion levels exceed a threshold.
