  • Patent number: 10768691
    Abstract: A wearable motion tracking system (12) for capturing a relative position between a first body part (101) and a second body part (103) of said user (100) comprising a first measurement device (120a), a second measurement device (121a) and a computing device (150) that are configured such as to obtain by said computing device (150) a plurality of measurements between said first and second measurement devices (120a, 121a). Based on the plurality of measurements that comprises at least one distance measurement between said first and second measurement devices (120a, 121a) said computing device (150) is configured to compute, in three dimensions, a position of said second measurement device (121a) relative to said first measurement device (120a) for tracking the position of said second body part (103) relative to said first body part (101). The present invention further relates to a method of motion tracking.

  • Patent number: 8743349
    Abstract: An apparatus and method of correcting an image are provided. The apparatus includes a receiver to receive a depth value and a luminous intensity, the depth value and the luminous intensity being measured by at least one depth sensor, and a correction unit to read a correction depth value of a plurality of correction depth values mapped to different depth values and different luminous intensities from a first storage unit and to correct the measured depth value using the read correction depth value, the correction depth value being mapped to the measured depth value and the measured luminous intensity.

  • Patent number: 8218963
    Abstract: Using photographic flash for candid shots often results in an unevenly lit scene, in which objects in the back appear dark. A spatially adaptive photographic flash (100) is disclosed, in which the intensity of illumination (21, 23) varies depending on the depth and reflectivity (30, 101) of features in the scene. Adaption to changes in depth are used in a single-shot method. Adaption to changes in reflectivity are used in a multishot method. The single-shot method requires only a depth image (30), whereas the multi-shot method requires at least one color image (40) in addition to the depth data (30).
