Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing illumination associated with image capture by devices by adjusting illumination in one or more sub-portions of an area during image capture. In order to adjust illumination, configuration data may be obtained relating to image data generated by an image capture device. The image capture device may be associated with a controllable illumination device configured to provide independently controllable illumination for at least two sub portions of an area. The controllable illumination device may cause the generation of illumination based on independent illumination attributes associated with the at least two sub-portions. The illumination device can include independently controllable illumination units can include a light emitting diode (LED) array in which individual LEDs in the LED array are independently controllable.

Abstract: A camera system for vehicles captures panoramic video, has a unique identifier, and has an image processor that compresses the video and detects events. It transmits compressed video with one or more of a timestamp, a unique identifier, a location, and event flags through a network (e.g., cellular) to a server. A GPS device (or the like) may be adapted to determine location. Particular embodiments process the video to detect events, and, upon detecting these events, transmit video at a high data rate while using a low data rate at other times.
