Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic camera calibration without using a robotic actuator or similar hardware. An electronic display screen projects an image of a simulated three-dimensional calibration pattern, such as a checkerboard, oriented in a particular pose. The camera captures an image of the calibration pattern that is displayed on the screen, and this image together with the transform of the simulated three-dimensional calibration pattern are used to calibrate the camera. Multiple different pictures of different poses are employed to determine the optimal set of poses that produces the lowest reprojection error. To aid in selecting different poses, i.e., spatial positions and orientations of the simulated three-dimensional calibration pattern, poses may be selected from only that portion of the camera's field of view which is expected to be typically used in operation of the camera.

Abstract: A traffic recording assembly includes a plurality of recording units that is each positionable on an emergency vehicle. Each of the recording units can be directed toward oncoming traffic when the emergency vehicle is positioned on the side of a roadway to respond to an emergency. Each of the recording units has video recording capabilities to identify vehicles that are not following traffic laws as they pass the emergency vehicle. Additionally, each of the recording units emits electromagnetic energy to detect the speed of the oncoming traffic. A base unit is positioned within the emergency vehicle to store the video and to store the speed of the oncoming traffic for subsequent prosecution.

Abstract: A processing device generates composite images from a sequence of images. The composite images may be used as frames of video. A foreground/background segmentation is performed at selected frames to extract a plurality of foreground object images depicting a foreground object at different locations as it moves across a scene. The foreground object images are stored to a foreground object list. The foreground object images in the foreground object list are overlaid onto subsequent video frames that follow the respective frames from which they were extracted, thereby generating a composite video.

Abstract: A projection apparatus executes a first processing and a second processing on image signal received from an external device, projects an image based on the image signal processed by an image processor, and switches an operation mode of the projection apparatus to a first mode, which is a low-latency mode for suppressing a delay in displaying an image, and a second mode, which is not the low-latency mode. The image processor maintains the first processing and stops the second processing in response that the operation mode of the projection apparatus is switched to the first mode from a state in which the operation mode is the second mode and the first processing and the second processing are executed.

Abstract: Real-time latency of audio/video streams is identified. Signatures of a reference audio/video stream and signatures of a test audio/video stream are buffered. A needle is constructed as a vector including a set of signatures of the reference audio/video stream. Correlations of the needle to successive vectors of sets of signatures of the test audio/video stream are computed using a correlation function that calculates relatedness of the needle vector to each of the successive vectors of the test audio/video stream. A synchronization offset is identified between the test stream and the reference stream according to a maximum correlation point of the correlations of the needle to the successive sets of signatures of the test audio/video stream. The reference audio/video stream and the test audio/video stream are aligned according to the synchronization offset.
