  • Publication number: 20240171708
    Abstract: An electro-optical observation system for hunting includes an electronic image detector and an optical unit assigned to the image detector. The observation system further includes a processor configured to indirectly or directly exchange data with the image detector, to analyze an image stream, which was acquired with the image detector, in view of the presence of an object that is sufficiently different from an image background, and to control a user interface to output a notification to a user in the case of the presence detected on the basis of the analysis of the image stream.

  • Patent number: 11210861
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for setting and visualizing parameters of an objective lens of a camera, in particular for focusing on a moving object, and to a system for per-forming the method. The camera is, for example, embodied as a film camera, in particular as a film camera used in cinematography. The method includes the following steps: calcu-lating a relative position and an alignment of a depth of field of the objective lens in the 3D space, observing the 3D space and/or the object with an AR display and observation de-vice, displaying the relative position and the alignment of the depth of field of the objective lens as an image in the AR display and observation device and/or displaying a focal plane as an image in the AR display and observation device, and setting the objective lens to ob-tain a desired depth of field of the objective lens.

  • Patent number: 9874801
    Abstract: A device for adjusting a camera lens, which includes at least one lens ring rotatable about the optical axis of the camera lens for zoom, focus or aperture adjustment, which is connectable with a driving device actuatable by an electronic control unit, includes a retaining device connected with the camera lens, which is adapted to the contour of the camera lens, for accommodating a fastening mechanism of a drive system containing the driving device and the electronic control unit.
