Abstract: A method is disclosed for capturing one or more images that include a lightning strike using an image capturing device. The method is performed by one or more processors of the image capturing device. The one or more processors automatically capture a plurality of images during a period of time using the lens of the device. Each of the plurality of images is processed to detect a presence of lightning within each image. Each image is processed based, at least part, on two consecutive captured images. Images that have been determined to include the presence of lightning are stored in a memory resource of the image capturing device.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to setting a lens position based on focus scores. A plurality of initial positions of a lens are determined. Each of the initial positions may correspond to a position of the lens at which one of a plurality of objects has a highest quality. A focus score may be determined at each of the initial positions for the corresponding object having the highest quality. A final position of the lens between two of the initial positions may be calculated based on the focus scores.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a camera flash filter. In one embodiment, a processor determines an intensity of light to filter through areas of the flash filter based on the lighting of a scene. The processor may determine a color of light to filter though the areas of the flash filter based on the determined intensity of light to filter through the areas of the flash filter.

Abstract: A device to calibrate with a 3D viewer, to couple to a display device, and to split a 3D signal to a first 2D signal and a second 2D signal and generate media to be rendered on the display device by merging the first 2D signal and the second 2D signal based on a timing between the device and the 3D viewer.

Abstract: A matrixed memory array device is disclosed that includes input ports and output ports. Each input port is coupled to a first data bus and each output port is coupled to a second data bus that is different and separate from the first data bus. A memory brick is placed at each cross-point between first data buses and second data buses so as to switchably couple frames of data from input ports to output ports. Each memory brick contains a plurality of eight transistor (8-T) memory cells that can be used to store, erase, read, write, and switchably couple a data bit from the input port to a corresponding output port.

Abstract: A digital camera device (700) includes an image-capturing mechanism (702) and a controller (704). The image-capturing mechanism captures a digital image having one or more eye features. The controller at least determines whether each eye feature is to have glint restored or synthesized, and in response restores or synthesizes the glint within the eye feature.

Abstract: Methods of calculating pixel values representative of a scene are disclosed herein. One embodiment of the method comprises focusing light representative of the scene onto a photosensor for a period of time using at least one exposure setting, wherein the photosensor has a plurality of pixels. Numeric values corresponding to the intensity of light received by each of the pixels during the period are generated. At least one exposure setting is changed and pixel values are generated by the photosensor based on the changed at least one exposure setting are calculated. The number of calculated pixel values that are greater than a first preselected value are then determined.

Abstract: Systems and methods of automatically selecting a focus range in cameras are disclosed. In an exemplary implementation, a method for selecting a focus range to auto-focus a camera may include receiving focus data for different lens positions in a first focus range. The method may also include analyzing the focus data from the first focus range for focus data extending from the first focus range into at least a second focus range. The method may also include auto-focusing a camera lens using focus data in the first focus range if no focus data extends from the second focus range into the first focus range. The method may also include auto-focusing the camera lens using focus data in the second focus range if focus data in the second focus range extends into the first focus range.

Abstract: Phone-based remote media system interaction is described. A content distribution system provides a telephone-based voice menu system that enables a caller to select a media system control command. The content distribution system then causes the media system control command to be executed in association with a remote media system associated with, or specified by, the caller.
