An imaging device (102) includes: an imaging unit (114) which captures a digital image; a communication unit (112) which acquires a plurality of additional information from a predetermined map server (120) holding a plurality of additional information corresponding to respective objects contained in the digital image captured by the imaging means; a display information extraction unit (113) which selects additional information to be displayed, from the plurality of additional information acquired by the communication unit (112); and a duplicate display processing unit (116) and a display unit (117) which display the digital image captured by the imaging meanstogether with the additional information selected by the display information extraction unit (113) among the plurality of additional information.

The invention discloses an image distortion standardization method which is not related to a photo equipment. The method has following steps as: a straight goal line is selected in the image of a photo to be standardized; a starting point A, a midpoint B and an end-point C are respectively selected out on the goal line; the photo coordinates of three pixels (xA, yA), (xB, yB), (xC, yC) are measured, by which a distortion type is calculated. An enough large radius vector delta rb is given to the midpoint B to make the three corrected points A', B' and C' have the opposite distortion type. An assumed image distortion factor is calculated according to the assumed distortion radius vector. According to the assumed image distortion factor, the radius vectors of the three positions A', B' and C' of the three points A, B and C after the distortion is eliminated are calculated. The pixel coordinates of the three positions A', B' and C' after the assumed image distortion is eliminated are calculated. By utilizing a split-middle method, an iterative approach computation is made to get the image distortion factor k1. The method of the invention takes a digital image as a standardization target, breaks away from a camera to calibrate the distortion factor of the digital image (including the historical image and the image in a network transmission, etc.) obtained in various channels.

Present invention refers to size variable touch system based on image recognition. It utilizes a length fixing or alterable rod, respectively installing two cameras on two ends of said rod, two camera viewing field forming overlapping on touch interval constituting a rectangular zone of vision using two camera as neighboring vertices and covering touch interval, two cameras direct coupling to host computer through USB 1394 etc high-speed serial buses, camera collected image data sent to host computer, relevant driving program proceeding image recognition, when identifying user's fingertip or what other similar touch indicator, utilizing coordinate transformation algorithm to determine indicator relative position on touch surface.

A navigation system has a map database (5) which holds map data, a position / direction measurement section (4) which measures a present position and a direction, a path computing section (12) which computes a guiding path from the present position measured by the position / direction measurement section to a destination on the basis of the map data read from the map database, a camera (7) which photographs the front, a video acquisition section (8) which acquires the video of the front video captured by the camera (7), a bypass acquisition section (16) which acquires a bypass connected to a position between the present position and the guiding point of the guiding path computed by the path computing section, a video synthesis processing section (14) which superimposes and synthesizes a figure expressing the bypass acquired by the bypass acquisition section onto the video acquired by the video acquisition section, and a display section (10) which displays the video synthesized by the video synthesis processing section.

The system comprises assorted lens, image catching card for catching digital image of the object to be catched by CCD video camera. The catched image is decomposed of by image brightness-reflectance decomposition unit to be two parts of spectrums as brightness and reflectance and image brightness variation detecting unit is provided to analyse bright ness spectrum variable of two continuous images as well as to use this variable to control the enlarging or reducing of the iris diaphragm. In addition, object motion detecting unit is provided to analyse reflectance spectrum variable of two continuous images, which is used to judge whether object in image picture is moved or not in order to have correct judgement for state of the object motion.

The present invention relates to a descriptor for the representation, from a video indexing viewpoint, of motions of a camera or any kind of observer or observing device within any sequence of frames in a video scene. The motions are at least one or several of the following basic operations: fixed, panning (horizontal rotation), tracking (horizontal transverse movement) tilting (vertical rotation), booming (vertical transverse movement), zooming (changes of the focal length), dollying (translation along the optical axis) and rolling (rotation around the optical axis), or any combination of at least two of these operations. Each of said motion types, except fixed, is oriented and subdivided into two components that stand for two different directions, and represented by means of an histogram in which the values correspond to a predefined size of displacement. The invention also relates to an image retrieval system in which a video indexing device uses said descriptor.

Said invention refers to photograph controller and method for high brilliance object. When part area in shot object existing high brilliant light source, said invention can detects and control any area of light source, in order to prevent the reducing of aperture open and can normally display the main object in other areas of video image. Said invention can greatly raises monitoring function.

The invention provides a camera adjustment system and method. The camera adjustment system is arranged in a handheld electronic device. The camera adjustment system comprises a speed sensor, an electronic compass, a comparison unit and a display unit, wherein the speed sensor and the electronic compass are used for sensing the real-time displacement information of the handheld electronic device; the comparison unit is used for comparing the real-time displacement information with the initial displacement information of the handheld electronic device when the camera adjustment system is started, and further, the difference of the real-time displacement information of the handheld electronic device relative to the initial displacement information is obtained, and the difference is converted into a corresponding mobile control signal transmitted to a camera; the lens angle of the camera is adjusted according to the mobile control signal; and a shot image is transmitted to a display screen to be displayed.

The present invention is related to a method for recording three dimensional video, and a movie camera which intend to allow recording of images in stereoscopic 3-D that can be watched with naked single eye without 3-D eyewear. The method and 3-D camera makes it possible to record 3-D images, that can be perceived three-dimensionally with human eye alone, which have the same color and brightness of images recorded in 2-D.

A method and system for using an image sensor to control applications on a mobile device is disclosed. The system uses image processing to detect control gestures by the user. Control gestures may include, for example, moving a hand laterally, moving the hand closer or farther away from the camera, or opening and closing a hand. These control motions are linked to user commands to be executed by the application being controlled. The system initializes by storing a background image showing the field of view of the image sensor before any objects are present. It then detects new objects in the field of view by comparing new images to the background image. If a new object is detected, the system waits until the object is stationary in the field of view. After the object is stationary, the system detects if there is a change in the object indicating a control gesture. After detecting a change in the stationary object, the system determines a set of parameters defining the change and matches the parameters to a user command.
