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
The abstract describes a device for gathering image sets using a combination of ground truth cameras and target cameras, optically coupled via beam splitters, with some cameras mounted on adjustable mounts. Instructions stored on a computer-readable storage device control the cameras to adjust their positions, synchronize image capture, and gather sets of images based on the scene.
- Ground truth cameras capture high-quality images, while target cameras capture low-quality images.
- Cameras are optically coupled via beam splitters for simultaneous image capture.
- Some cameras are mounted on adjustable mounts for precise positioning.
- Instructions stored on a computer-readable storage device control the cameras for image capture.
- Cameras are adjusted based on captured images to optimize image quality.
Potential Applications: - Surveillance systems - Remote sensing applications - Augmented reality systems
Problems Solved: - Simultaneous capture of high-quality and low-quality images - Precise positioning of cameras for optimal image capture
Benefits: - Improved image quality - Simultaneous capture of multiple image sets - Enhanced data collection capabilities
Commercial Applications: Title: Multi-Camera Image Gathering Device for Enhanced Data Collection This technology can be used in surveillance systems, remote sensing applications, and augmented reality systems to improve image quality and data collection capabilities, potentially leading to more accurate analysis and decision-making processes.
Questions about Multi-Camera Image Gathering Device for Enhanced Data Collection:
1. How does the device synchronize image capture by multiple cameras? The device synchronizes image capture by controlling the cameras through instructions stored on a computer-readable storage device.
2. What are the potential benefits of using ground truth cameras in combination with target cameras? Ground truth cameras provide high-quality reference images, while target cameras capture the actual scene, allowing for comparison and analysis.
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.
