  • Publication number: 20230403471
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods related to a multiple position rolling shutter camera. A system can include an imaging device, an actuator, a processor, and a storage media. The imaging device can be configured to capture an image within a field of view using a rolling shutter that operates in a shutter direction. The actuator can be coupled to the imaging device and configured to rotate the imaging device between a first orientation, wherein the shutter direction comprises a first direction, and a second orientation, wherein the shutter direction comprises a second direction that is different than the first direction. The instructions can, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to cause the actuator to rotate the imaging device between the first orientation and the second orientation.

  • Publication number: 20230296780
    Abstract: Provided are methods for sensor operation, which can include obtaining first location data of a first sensor associated with an autonomous vehicle and determining a first position parameter and a first configuration parameter of the first sensor. Some methods described also include operating the first sensor based on the first configuration parameter. Systems and computer program products are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20230236432
    Abstract: Provided are methods for correcting multi-zone motion blur, which include executing, using at least one processor, an alignment of at least one image capturing device with at least one collimating device in a plurality of collimating devices, causing a rotation of at least one collimating device, receiving at least one image of at least one target object captured by the image capturing device for processing by at least one rotating collimating device, and determining, based on the at least one processed image, a degradation of the received image of the target object.

  • Publication number: 20230231989
    Abstract: Provided are methods for verifying the performance of an image sensor mounted to a vehicle, which can include causing alignment of a collimator with an image sensor mounted to a vehicle, receiving sensor data associated with the image sensor based at least in part on causing the alignment of the collimator with the image sensor, determining that the sensor data does not satisfy a performance specification associated with the image sensor, determining an image sensor alert associated with the image sensor based at least in part on determining that the sensor data does not satisfy the performance specification associated with the image sensor, and routing the image sensor alert.

  • Publication number: 20080040143
    Abstract: System and method for tracking user activity. A user accessing a first web page is identified and an impression associated with the first web page that is selected by the user is determined. The impression is assigned a unique identification and is one of a plurality of impressions for directing the user to a second web page. The unique identification of the selected impression is transmitted to a website associated with the second web page upon the user selecting the impression and data is received from the website indicating that the user successfully performed at least one predetermined task and the unique identification. The received data is stored in a memory unit.
