  • Publication number: 20210250495
    Abstract: An image processing method, device, storage medium and camera are provided. The method, applied to the camera, comprises: capturing a target image; acquiring a target feature map of the target image through a preset target convolution layer, wherein the target convolution layer includes at least one of a plurality of convolution layers of a convolutional neural network (CNN); and outputting the target feature map. That is to say, after the target image is captured by the camera, the target feature map may be acquired by processing the target image through the target convolution layer pre-integrated in the camera. In this way, the camera transmits the target feature map only to reduce the transmitted data volume, thereby being capable of shortening transmission delay and saving bandwidth required by image transmission.

  • Publication number: 20210231784
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system and method for encoding pulses of light for LiDAR scanning. The system includes a sequence generator, a light source, a modulator, a light detector, a correlator, and a microprocessor. The sequence generator generates a sequence code that the modulator encodes into a pulse of light from the light source. The encoded pulse of light illuminates a surface of an object, in which scattered light from the encoded light pulse is detected. The correlator correlates the scattered light with the sequence code that outputs a peak value associated with a time that the pulse of light is received. The microprocessor is configured to determine a time difference between transmission and reception of the pulse of light based on whether the amplitude of the peak exceeds the threshold value. The microprocessor calculates a distance to the surface of the object based on the time difference.
