DEVICE AND METHOD FOR GATHERING IMAGE SETS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18371239 titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD FOR GATHERING IMAGE SETS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a device for gathering image sets using multiple digital cameras, including ground truth cameras and target cameras, optically coupled via beam splitters. The cameras are mounted on automatically adjustable mounts and controlled by a processor to synchronize image capture and gather sets of images.
- Multiple digital cameras: The device includes N digital cameras, some for capturing high-quality ground truth images and others for capturing low-quality target images.
- Optically coupled cameras: The cameras are connected via beam splitters to ensure synchronized image capture.
- Automatically adjustable mounts: At least N-1 cameras are mounted on mounts that can be adjusted automatically.
- Processor control: Instructions stored on a computer-readable storage device control the cameras to adjust their positions, synchronize image capture, and gather sets of images.
Potential Applications
This technology can be used in various fields such as:
- Surveillance systems
- 3D modeling
- Augmented reality applications
Problems Solved
This technology solves the following problems:
- Ensuring synchronized image capture from multiple cameras
- Obtaining high-quality ground truth images for comparison
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved accuracy in image sets
- Enhanced data collection for analysis
- Increased efficiency in capturing images from multiple perspectives
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology include:
- Security and surveillance companies
- Research institutions
- Entertainment industry for virtual reality content creation
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of multiple cameras in 3D scanning systems for capturing detailed images of objects or scenes.
Original Abstract Submitted
A device for gathering image sets includes: N digital cameras including one or more ground truth cameras for capturing high quality ground truth images and one or more target cameras for capturing low quality target images, the N digital cameras being optically coupled via N−1 beam splitters, at least N−1 cameras of the N digital cameras being mounted on automatically adjustable mounts; and at least one computer readable storage device storing instructions executable by at least one processor. The instructions cause the at least one processor to adjust the at least N−1 cameras by actuating the automatically adjustable mounts on which the at least N−1 cameras are mounted; synchronize image capture by the digital cameras; and control the digital cameras to gather sets of N images. The at least N−1 cameras are adjusted based on at least one set of N images of the scene.
