  • Publication number: 20220207652
    Abstract: Described examples relate to an apparatus comprising one or more image sensors coupled to a vehicle and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to capture, in a burst sequence using the one or more image sensors, multiple frames of an image of a scene, the multiple frames having respective, relative offsets of the image across the multiple frames and perform super-resolution computations using the captured, multiple frames of the image of the scene. The at least one processor may also be configured to accumulate, based on the super-resolution computations, color planes and combine, using the one or more processors, the accumulated color planes to create a super-resolution image of the scene.

  • Publication number: 20210374909
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and techniques directed to optical image stabilization movement to create a super-resolution image of a scene. The systems and techniques include a user device (102) introducing (502), through an optical image stabilization system (114), movement to one or more components of a camera system (112) of the user device (102). The user device (102) then captures (504) respective and multiple frames (306) of an image of a scene, where the respective and multiple frames (306) of the image of the scene have respective, sub-pixel offsets of the image of the scene across the multiple frames (306) as a result of the introduced movement to the one or more components of the camera system (112). The user device (102) performs (506), based on the respective, sub-pixel offsets of the image of the scene across the respective, multiple frames (306), super-resolution computations and creates (508) the super-resolution image of the scene based on the super-resolution computations.

  • Publication number: 20210304359
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and techniques for creating a super-resolution image (122) of a scene captured by a user device (102). Natural handheld motion (110) introduces, across multiple frames (204, 206, 208) of an image of a scene, sub-pixel offsets that enable the use of super-resolution computations (210) to form color planes (212, 214, 216), which are accumulated (218) and combined (220) to create a super-resolution image (122) of the scene.

  • Patent number: 9635816
    Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly for arranging plants vertically, with a built-in watering system, applicable to plants contained in plant pots (11), consisting of a framework with individual supports for plant pots, a water container provided with a trickier in the upper part, a support with a drainage collector in the lower part, and plant pots, used to carry water to the upper container where it passes through the trickier and falls to an relief (8.1) in the body of the plant pot just below. From there, it is guided to an inner cavity (8.2) which finally allows the water to enter the plant pot. The excess water is ejected via a drainage opening with a conduit used as an extension and falls to the relief of the plant pot directly beneath, in order to repeat the process in the plant pots. These elements create a supporting structure for arranging plants vertically, with a watering system that operates under gravity.
