  • Automatic camera calibration and geo-registration using objects that provide positional information
    Publication number: 20080240616
    Abstract: A video sequence of a field of view within an environment is received. Targets are detected in the video sequence. Target geo-positional information is received. Correspondences between the targets detected in the video sequence and the target geo-positional information are determined and used to calibrate the camera and to geo-register a field of view of the camera.

  • Video-based sensing for daylighting controls
    Publication number: 20080180553
    Abstract: A video imager may be used to measure the natural and/or artificial light levels in a space. The lighting estimates may be passed to a controller via a communication network. The lighting estimates may be in the form of actual radiance values, brightness, or other forms. The controller may determine if and which areas of the space require more light or if and which areas of the space have more light than required. Based on the lighting estimates, the controller may issue commands to turn on/off or dim/brighten the light from various ones or combinations of light sources in or around the space via actuators. The controller may also directly interface with the light sources.
