Patent number: 10713811Abstract: A security camera system includes a base unit and sensor modules for generating image data. The base unit includes several mounting sockets arranged at different elevational and azimuthal directions around the base unit, and the sensor modules attach, for example, magnetically, to the mounting sockets. The security camera system is capable of automatic detection of the location of the sensor modules, as the identification information for the mounting sockets to which the sensor modules are attached are identified by image analytics. A reference image depicting the security camera system or an area surrounding the security camera system is analyzed and the positions of the sensor modules are determined based on the reference image. In the latter example, the reference image includes markers designating points of reference visible to the sensor modules and is compared to image data generated by the sensor modules.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2017Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Sensormatic Electronics, LLCInventors: Patrick Siu, Christopher Cianciolo

Patent number: 10701258Abstract: [Problem] To enable imaging to be performed with appropriate timing. [Solution] In a camera manipulation device 1 according to the present invention, a trigger signal T12 is issued and imaging is begun when a prescribed command is transmitted from a control circuit side to an imaging unit side (see S12). Because the issuance of such trigger signal T12 is not accepted before a character reception start command is issued, it is possible to perform imaging with appropriate timing.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2018Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: KOWA COMPANY, LTD.Inventor: Tomohisa Azegami

Patent number: 10645296Abstract: A first imaging unit images subject light after angle-of-view mark light is removed by a dichroic mirror, and outputs a first imaging signal. A second imaging unit images the angle-of-view mark light of each of other television cameras. A calculating unit calculates a position of a virtual angle-of-view mark showing an imaging angle of view of each of the other television cameras in an imaging angle of view of the host television camera based on the angle-of-view mark light of each of the other television cameras. An image compositing unit generates a composite image by compositing a virtual angle-of-view mark image and a virtual angle-of-view frame image corresponding to the position of the virtual angle-of-view mark with a video image based on the first imaging signal. The composite image is displayed on a monitor.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2018Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventor: Tetsu Wada
