TL;DR: A parametric model for a computer-controlled moveable camera on a pan-tilt head that expresses the transform relating object space to image space as a function of the control variables of the camera is developed.
Abstract: : The report developes a parametric model for a computer-controlled moveable camera on a pan-tilt head. The model expresses the transform relating object space to image space as a function of the control variables of the camera. We constructed a calibration system for measuring the model parameters which has a demonstrated accuracy more than adequate for our present needs. We have also identified the major source of error in model measurement to be undesired image motion and have developed means of measuring and compensating for some of it and eliminating other parts of it. The system can measure systematic image distortions if they become the major accuracy limitation. It has been shown how to generalize the model to handle small systematic errors due to aspects of pan-tilt head geometry not presently accounted for. The report demonstrates the model's application in stereo vision and have shown how it can be applied as a predictive device in locating objects of interest and centering them in an image. (Author)

TL;DR: In this article, a digital camera is used for capturing and storing images in a removable storage device, which is also preloaded with enhancement files for effecting the operation of the system.
Abstract: An electronic imaging system includes a digital electronic camera for capturing and storing images in a removable storage device, which is also preloaded with enhancement files for effecting the operation of the system. The camera includes an optical section for establishing the optical parameters of image capture, an image sensing section for electrically capturing the image, and a signal processing section for operating upon the electrically captured image prior to storage. The several sections of the camera are coordinated and controlled by a programmable processor, which is capable of receiving the enhancement files preloaded into the storage device. These files may contain software for updating the operating code of the camera, for modifying the electrically captured image in selected ways, for modifying camera in special situations, or for communicating non-captured image-like data, such as text and image overlays, to the camera.

TL;DR: In my perception, in coming years, the design, construction and utilization of information/intelligent systems will become the primary focus of science and technology, and I/IS systems will be a dominant presence in the authors' daily lives.
Abstract: We are living in a world which is undergoing profound changes brought about by rapid advances in science and technology. Among such changes, the most visible are those that relate to what is popularly referred to as the information revolution. The artifacts of this revolution are all around us: the e-mail, the world wide web, the cellular phone; the fax; and the desktop computer, among many others. Linked to the information revolution is another revolution — the intelligent systems revolution. The manifestations of this revolution are not as obvious as those of the information revolution because they involve, for the most part, not new products but higher MIQ (Machine IQ) of existing systems, products and devices. Among the familiar examples are smart appliances, smart cameras, smart robots and smart software for browsing, diagnosis, fraud detection and quality control. The information and intelligent systems revolutions are in a symbiotic relationship. Intelligence requires information and vice-versa. The confluence of intelligent systems and information systems leads to intelligent information systems. In this sense, the union of information systems, intelligent systems and intelligent information systems constitutes what might be referred to as information/intelligent systems, or I/IS for short. In my perception, in coming years, the design, construction and utilization of information/intelligent systems will become the primary focus of science and technology, and I/IS systems will become a dominant presence in our daily lives. When we take a closer look at information/intelligent systems what we see is the increasingly important role of soft computing (SC) in their conception, design and utilization. Basically, soft computing is an association of computing methodologies which includes as its principal members fuzzy

TL;DR: A novel scheme for data reception in a mobile phone using visible light communications (VLC) is proposed, exploiting the rolling shutter effect of CMOS sensors, and a data rate much higher than the camera frame rate is achieved.
Abstract: In this paper, a novel scheme for data reception in a mobile phone using visible light communications (VLC) is proposed. The camera of the smartphone is used as a receiver in order to capture the continuous changes in state (on-off) of the light, which are invisible to the human eye. The information is captured in the camera in the form of light and dark bands which are then decoded by the smartphone and the received message is displayed. By exploiting the rolling shutter effect of CMOS sensors, a data rate much higher than the camera frame rate is achieved.

TL;DR: In this paper, a camera captures an image and sends it to a server for image recognition processing, where the camera receives information from the server, including an indication of information to suggest to a user for meta-tagging the image.
Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, a camera captures an image. The image is transmitted to a server for image recognition processing. The camera receives information from the server, including an indication of information to suggest to a user for meta-tagging the image. The suggested information may be based, for example, on a comparison of the image with meta-information stored by the server and/or a database of stored images. The camera asks the user if the user would like to meta-tag the image with the information. Optionally, the camera receives an indication from the user that the user would like to meta-tag the image with the suggested information, and the camera meta-tags the image with the information.
