VEHICLE SENSOR ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240262318 titled 'VEHICLE SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The system described in the patent application includes a camera assembly capable of capturing image data at multiple focal lengths, along with a computer connected to the camera assembly. The computer, equipped with a processor and memory, is programmed to receive image data captured at different focal lengths and activate a cleaning system based on the analysis of the captured images.
- The system can capture image data at various focal lengths.
- The computer analyzes the image data to determine when to activate the cleaning system.
- The cleaning system is triggered based on the comparison of image data captured at different focal lengths.
- This technology aims to improve the maintenance and performance of camera systems by automating the cleaning process.
- By utilizing image data at different focal lengths, the system can ensure effective cleaning based on the specific requirements of the camera assembly.
Potential Applications: - Surveillance systems - Photography equipment - Medical imaging devices
Problems Solved: - Efficient maintenance of camera systems - Enhanced performance through automated cleaning processes
Benefits: - Improved image quality - Extended lifespan of camera equipment - Reduced manual intervention for maintenance tasks
Commercial Applications: Title: Automated Camera Cleaning System for Enhanced Performance This technology can be utilized in various industries such as surveillance, photography, and medical imaging to streamline maintenance processes and ensure optimal performance of camera systems.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system determine when to activate the cleaning system? The system analyzes image data captured at different focal lengths to assess the cleanliness of the camera assembly and triggers the cleaning system accordingly.
2. What are the potential benefits of automating the cleaning process in camera systems? Automating the cleaning process can lead to improved image quality, extended equipment lifespan, and reduced manual intervention for maintenance tasks.
Original Abstract Submitted
a system includes a camera assembly designed to capture image data at a plurality of focal lengths and a computer in communication with the camera assembly. the computer has a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to receive first image data captured by the camera assembly at a first focal length and receive second image data captured by the camera assembly at a second focal length, the second focal length greater than the first focal length. the instructions include instructions to actuate a cleaning system based on the first image data captured at the first focal length and the second image data captured at the second focal length.
