TL;DR: A new method of calibration is proposed for active visual sensing for use in 3D analysis based on an adaptation of the two camera plane m model that permits the calibration of a mobile camera as a function of the position and orientation of the camera.

TL;DR: This work proposes a method for deciding optimum camera placement automatically considering camera specification such as visual distance, visual angle, and resolution, and divides the scene into regions and weight them according to their importance of observation.
Abstract: We present an optimum camera placement algorithm. We are motivated by the fact that the installation of security cameras is increasing rapidly. From the system cost point of view, it is desirable to observe all the area of interest by the smallest number of cameras. We propose a method for deciding optimum camera placement automatically considering camera specification such as visual distance, visual angle, and resolution. Moreover, to reduce the number of cameras, we divide the scene into regions and weight them according to their importance of observation. Then, we calculate camera locations which cover all the important regions and as many other regions as possible by considering the trade off between a number of observed regions and the number of cameras required. We formulate this problem as a set covering problem.

TL;DR: In this article, a security camera system for displaying a picture so as to easily know a place where an abnormal situation occurs is presented, where a moving picture detector is used to detect a motion from pictures taken by the security camera during an automatic monitoring operation.
Abstract: To provide a security camera system for displaying a picture so as to easily know a place where an abnormal situation occurs. The security camera system includes a security camera 61 having at least more than one rotation axis and a controller 70 for controlling the security camera 61 . The controller 70 is provided with a moving picture detector 80 for detecting a motion from pictures taken by the security camera during an automatic monitoring operation. The controller switches an operation of the security camera from automatic monitoring to still monitoring in the case when the moving picture detector detects a motion from monitored pictures. Therefore, in the case when a suspicious person, fire smoke, or the like is detected in a subject building at night, for example, during an automatic monitoring operation for shooting target monitoring places sequentially, a shooting point of the security camera is fixed there so as to shoot and display an abnormal situation on a monitor screen.

TL;DR: A pointing and identification device (PID) as discussed by the authors allows the user to point at objects in the real world, on television or movie screens, or otherwise not on the computer screen.
Abstract: A pointing and identification device (PID) allows the user to point at objects in the real world, on television or movie screens, or otherwise not on the computer screen. The PID includes a digital camera and one or both of a laser and a reticle for aiming the digital camera. An image taken with the digital camera is transmitted to a computer or the like.

TL;DR: In this article, a system, method, and device for remotely controlling the camera functions of a mobile camera phone are disclosed, where a camera application is coupled with Hie Bluetooth module (210) for establishing a master/slave relationship.
Abstract: 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).
