Abstract: A method for calibrating a vehicular vision system includes providing a camera at a vehicle, with the camera having a field of view. Images are captured with the camera and a set of resultant images are acquired for a classification. Information is extracted related to image features in the set of resultant images, and an appropriate subset of coefficients is determined. For each classification, a classification vector of at least one appropriate weight is stored that corresponds to the determined subset of coefficients. The determined subset of coefficients is determined by processing sets of coefficients produced from a selection of calibration images and determining a subset of coefficients which acceptably discriminate between defined classifications. A set of resultant images is acquired by limiting the dynamic range of acquired images to obtain resultant images that include at least one region of interest.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a device for adjusting screen locking time, and an electronic terminal. Time interval values T1, T2, . . . , and TN between screen locking and screen unlocking for consecutive N times are acquired, and when it is determined that the acquired time interval values T1, T2, . . . , and TN are all in a preset threshold range, a current screen locking time value is updated into the sum of the current screen locking time value and a preset time delay value. In the disclosure, a usage situation in which the terminal automatically locks the screen and a user unlocks the screen is monitored in real time, and according to the time intervals between screen locking and screen unlocking for consecutive N times, it is determined whether the current screen locking time is appropriate in the current usage environment and situation.
