Abstract: A method of estimating dimensions of vehicle's exterior defects based on reference dimensions comprising analyzing one or more images captured by one or more image sensors deployed to depict a vehicle to identify one or more reference feature relating to the vehicle, obtaining real-world size of the reference feature(s), computing a pixel to real-world size ratio for the image sensor(s) based on the real-world size of the reference feature(s) and a size in pixels of the reference feature(s) in the image(s), analyzing one or more images captured by the image sensor(s) to identify one or more defects in an exterior of the vehicle, computing a size in pixels of one or more dimensions of each defect; and computing a real-world size of the dimension(s) based on the size in pixels of the respective dimension and the pixel to real-world size ratio.

Abstract: A unified imaging device used for detecting and classifying objects in a scene including motion and micro-vibrations by receiving a plurality of images of the scene captured by an imaging sensor of the unified imaging device comprising a light source adapted to project on the scene a predefined structured light pattern constructed of a plurality of diffused light elements, classifying object(s) present in the scene by visually analyzing the image(s), extracting depth data of the object(s) by analyzing position of diffused light element(s) reflected from the object(s), identifying micro-vibration(s) of the object(s) by analyzing a change in a speckle pattern of the reflected diffused light element(s) in at least some consecutive images and outputting the classification, the depth data and data of the one or more micro-vibrations which are derived from the analyses of images captured by the imaging sensor and are hence inherently registered in a common coordinate system.

Abstract: A system for detecting vibrations from a surface is provided. The system includes a coherent light source for projecting a multi-beam pattern onto the surface and an imaging device for mapping a speckle field generated by each spot formed on the surface by the multi-beam pattern to a unique region of an imaging sensor. The system further includes a processor for processing speckle field information received by the imaging sensor and deriving surface vibration information.

Abstract: A system remotely determines living objects and their heartbeat rate or breath rate. The system has a laser source, a diffractive optics, a defocusing lens, a laser CCD, and a vibrations analyzer. The laser source is used for emitting a laser beam. The diffractive optics is used for dividing said laser beam to a grid of plurality of laser beams in which the living object is located. The defocusing lens is used for receiving pluralities of laser beams as reflected from objects within the area of interest, and for defocusing said reflected beams, thereby to produce defocused speckles on the laser CCD.
