  • Publication number: 20240121461
    Abstract: A video production system comprising a plurality of low usage cameras (104), a plurality of high usage cameras (103) and a video production server (201) which ingests and stores camera streams provided by the plurality of high usage cameras (103). The system further comprises a cloud recorder (207). The cloud recorder (207) ingests and stores camera streams provided by the plurality of low usage cameras (104). The cloud recorder (207) is communicatively connected via a first data connection (212) with a replay device (211) enabling an operator to browse through all the recorded camera streams from the plurality of low usage cameras (104) and to select one the recorded camera streams for replay by sending a corresponding command to the cloud recorder (207). The cloud recorder is communicatively connected via a second data connection (216) for providing the recorded camera stream that has been selected to the video production server (201).

  • Patent number: 9495572
    Abstract: A method for identifying a one- or two-dimensional barcode in input image data, the method comprising the steps of: obtaining first image data of a first image of the object, said first image being acquired using a first illumination wavelength; obtaining second image data of a second image of the object, said second image being acquired using a second illumination wavelength being different from said first illumination wavelength; calculating a weighting factor based on a statistical processing of pixel values of the first image data and pixel values of the second image data; and generating third image data by calculating a weighted combination using the pixel values of said first image data, the pixel values of said second image data, and said weighting factor.
