  • Patent number: 11825207
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to exposure control for image capture devices. One example method generally includes receiving sensor data indicating a movement associated with an image capture device capturing a first frame and a second frame, wherein the first frame is associated with a higher exposure setting as compared to the second frame; predicting, based on the sensor data, a shift for aligning one or more features of the first frame and one or more features of the second frame; applying the shift to align the one or more features of the first frame and the one or more features of second frame; and generating a frame output at least in part by combining at least a portion of the first frame with at least a portion of the second frame.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11279284
    Abstract: A method for determining a state of a tailgate (9) of a pickup vehicle (1) by a camera system (2), includes capturing a cargo bed (5) of the pickup vehicle (1) in an image (8) captured by a camera (3), determining a first region of interest (ROI1) in the captured image (8) by an electronic computing device (4) of the camera system (2), wherein the first region of interest (ROI1) includes the potential tailgate (9) at least partially, determining a parameter optically characterizing the tailgate (9) depending on the captured image (8), analyzing the first region of interest (ROI1) with regard to the characterizing parameter, and determining a closed state of the tailgate (9) as state or determining an opened state of the tailgate (9) as state depending on the analysis of the first region of interest (ROI1). A computer program product, an electronic computing device (4) as well as a camera system (2) are also disclosed.
