Abstract: An arrangement may be provided for applying paint on an article provided with a three-dimensional external shape. The arrangement may include at least one conveyor for forwarding the article, a first paint application roller, and a second paint application roller arranged downstream of the first paint application roller. The peripheral surface of the first paint application roller may be relatively soft so that it may be flattened out by the article and thereby reach a lowermost surface of the three-dimensional external shape. A peripheral surface of the second paint application roller may be relatively hard and the second paint application roller is arranged so that the peripheral surface may engage with the article in a way distributing the paint applied by the first paint application roller.

Abstract: A method for digital image stabilization (DIS) on a sequence of video frames captured by an image capture device comprises: obtaining motion values sampled from a motion signal and position values sampled from a position signal while capturing the frames, each frame being associated with a respective motion value and position value; computing, for each frame, a residual motion value to form a sequence of residual motion values; and performing DIS by (i) detecting an image feature in a reference frame, (ii) tracking the feature across subsequent frames, (iii) determining frame motion data from the feature's displacement in the subsequent frames, and (iv) generating a stabilized frame sequence based on the frame motion data. The size of a tracking window used to track the feature in each frame is set based on the residual motion values, thereby adapting the tracking to expected inter-frame motion to improve robustness and stabilization quality.

Abstract: A method for controlling an OIS system of an image capturing device, the method comprising: obtaining a first and a second time-series of samples derived from a motion signal of a motion sensor of the image capturing device, wherein the motion signal indicates a motion of the image capturing device, and wherein the first time-series spans a longer time period of the motion signal than the second time-series; determining a current dominant frequency for the motion signal based on a frequency analysis of the first time-series; and determining a setpoint for the OIS system by: fitting to the second time-series a model function based on a sine and/or cosine function and the current dominant frequency, extrapolating the fitted model function past a last sample of the second time-series to predict a successive sample, and determining the setpoint based on the predicted successive sample.

Abstract: A method for controlling an image stabilization (IS) system of an image capturing device. The IS system comprises an optical image stabilization (OIS) system that compensates for vibrational movement based on a motion signal from the image-capturing device's motion sensor. The OIS system has a first control parameter with an adjustable value to adapt responsiveness to vibrational movement, the value being adjustable between a lower responsiveness and a higher responsiveness of the OIS system. While the OIS system is in an active state and performs OIS, it determines a signal-to-noise estimate for the motion signal, and also determines the value of the first control parameter based on the signal-to-noise estimate, comprising setting the first control parameter to the first value responsive to determining that the signal-to-noise estimate is in a lower range, and to the second value responsive to determining that the signal-to-noise estimate is in an upper range.
