Abstract: Provided are video processing architectures and techniques configured to generate looping video. The video processing architectures and techniques automatically produce a looping video from a fixed-length video clip. Embodiments of the video processing architectures and techniques determine a lower-resolution version of the fixed-length video clip, and detect a presence of edges within image frames in the lower-resolution version. A pair of image frames having similar edges is identified as a pair of candidates for a transition point (i.e., a start frame and an end frame) at which the looping video can repeat. Using start and end frames having similar edges mitigates teleporting of objects displayed in the looping video. In some cases, teleporting during repeating is eliminated.

Abstract: A method for calibrating a camera of a vehicular vision system includes capturing a first frame of image data by the camera during a first ignition cycle of the vehicle, and, responsive to ending the first ignition cycle of the vehicle, saving to memory the first frame of captured image data.

The first frame of captured image data is compared by an image processor to the second frame of captured image data to determine a change in orientation of the camera. Responsive to determination of the change in orientation of the camera, processing by the image processor of frames of image data captured by the camera during the second ignition cycle is adjusted to accommodate the determined change in orientation of the camera.

Abstract: An imaging system may include an image sensor with phase detection pixel groups for depth sensing or automatic focusing operations. Each phase detection pixel group may have two or more photosensitive regions covered by a single microlens so that each photosensitive region has an asymmetric angular response. The imaging system may use image data from the phase detection pixel group to determine a phase difference. Alternatively, to improve accuracy, the imaging system may obtain two sets of image data using two different aperture sizes. The phase difference associated with each aperture size may be determined. The difference between the two phase differences may be determined and used as a more accurate metric for depth sensing or automatic focusing operations.

Abstract: A depth camera assembly (DCA) includes a structured light generator, an imaging device and a controller. The structured light generator illuminates a local area with one or more structured light patterns in accordance with emission instructions from the controller. The structured light generator comprises an illumination source, thin film acousto-optic device(s), and a projection assembly. The thin film acousto-optic device(s) generate a structured light pattern from optical beam(s) emitted from the illumination source. The projection assembly projects the structured light pattern(s) into the local area. The imaging device captures portions of the one or more structured light patterns scattered or reflected from the local area. The controller determines depth information for the local area based at least in part on the captured portions of the one or more scattered or reflected structured light patterns.

Abstract: Image sensors may include phase detection pixels that are used to determine the distance between the image sensor and objects in a scene. To account for variations in the angular response of phase detection pixels across a pixel array, calibration may be performed. During calibration, an image sensor may take images of targets at known distances from the sensor. The known distances may be used to determine scaling factors that account for differences between the initially calculated distances between the sensor and the targets and the actual distances between the sensor and the targets. The scaling factors may then be stored on the image sensor for future reference. During subsequent use of the image sensor, the image sensor may then obtain the appropriate scaling factor in real time for more accurate phase and distance determinations.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for detecting and classifying one or more traffic lights. The method may include converting an RGB frame to an HSV frame. The HSV frame may be filtered by at least one threshold value to obtain at least one saturation frame. At least one contour may be extracted from the at least one saturation frame. Accordingly, a first portion of the RGB may be cropped in order to encompass an area including the at least one contour. The first portion may then be classified by an artificial neural network to determined whether the first portion corresponds to a not-a-traffic-light class, a red-traffic-light class, a green-traffic-light class, a yellow-traffic-light class, or the like.
