Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an electro-hydraulic varifocal lens-based method for tracking a three-dimensional (3D) trajectory of an object by using a mobile robot. By modeling an optical imaging system, a functional relation between a focusing control current of an electro-hydraulic varifocal lens and an optimal imaging object distance is obtained. Based on this functional relation, depth information of the object in focus with respect to a mobile robot camera and an average velocity of the objective within a time interval with respect to a previous moment can be obtained. With this information, 3D coordinates and motion trajectory of the object in a camera coordinate system can be calculated. At the same time, the mobile robot locates positions and attitudes in a world coordinate system in real time, and transforms the 3D coordinates of the tracked object from the camera coordinate system to the world coordinate system.

Abstract: A method of implementing dynamic ground sharing in an image sensor with pipeline architecture starts with a pixel array capturing image data. Pixel array includes pixels to generate pixel data signals, respectively. A readout circuitry acquires the image data from a row in the pixel array. An analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) circuitry included in the readout circuitry samples the image data from the row to obtain sampled input data. When the ADC circuitry is sampling, a ground sharing switch is closed to couple the pixel array and the ADC circuitry to a common ground. When the ADC circuitry is not sampling, the ground sharing switch is open to separate the pixel array and the ADC circuitry from the common ground. The ADC circuitry converts the sampled image data from analog to digital to obtain an ADC output. Other embodiments are described.
