  • LOW-LIGHT AUTOFOCUS TECHNIQUE
    Publication number: 20240430577
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a low-light autofocus technique. One example embodiment includes a method. The method includes receiving an indication of a low-light condition for a camera system. The method also includes determining an extended exposure time for a low-light autofocus procedure of the camera system. Further, the method includes capturing, by the camera system, an extended frame for the low-light autofocus procedure. The extended frame is captured by the camera system using the determined extended exposure time. In addition, the method includes determining, based on the captured extended frame, an in-focus lens setting for a lens of the camera system.

  • Mobile Device Support for Capture and Synthesis of Extreme Low-Light Video
    Publication number: 20240187715
    Abstract: An example embodiment may involve capturing a sequence of images, wherein there are 4 or more images in the sequence of images, and wherein each of the sequence of images has an exposure length of 4-100 seconds; applying a sliding window over the sequence of images as downsampled, wherein at least 4 images are encompassed within the sliding window’, and wherein for each position of the sliding window the applying involves: (i) aligning a set of images within the sliding window, and (ii) merging the set of images as aligned into a video frame; combining video frames generated by way of the sliding window into a video file; and storing, by the mobile device, the video file in memory of the mobile device.

  • Input device for controlling a catheter
    Patent number: 10123843
    Abstract: An input device includes a plurality of orientation blocks each representing a portion of a catheter assembly and a controller configured to determine an orientation of the plurality of orientation blocks relative to one another. The controller is further configured to output a control signal that causes a tip of a catheter assembly to adopt the orientation determined by the controller. A system includes an actuator configured to manipulate a position and orientation of the catheter assembly. The controller of the input device is configured to output a control signal to the actuator to make a tip of a catheter assembly adopt the orientation determined by the controller. The input device can be virtually represented on a computing device.
