The virtual reality device includes: at least one imaging device comprising an imaging portion and an elastic micro lens array, the elastic micro lens array being arranged at a light incident side of the imaging portion and configured to modulate an incident light, the imaging portion being configured to receive the incident light modulated by the elastic micro lens array and to convert intensity of the incident light into an electrical imaging signal; and a display device configured to generate a visual image from the electrical imaging signal outputted by the imaging portion, wherein the elastic micro lens array has lenses which have independently adjustable focal lengths. | 2020-03-19 |
20200092463 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING OBJECT DETECTION USING A CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK - Methods, systems, and techniques for performing object detection using a convolutional neural network (CNN) involve obtaining an image and then processing the image using the CNN to generate a first feature pyramid and a second feature pyramid from the first pyramid. The second pyramid includes an enhanced feature map, which is generated by combining an upsampled feature map and a feature map of the first feature pyramid that has a corresponding or lower resolution of a resolution of the enhanced feature map. The upsampled feature map is generated by upsampling a feature map of the second feature pyramid that is at a shallower position in the CNN than the enhanced feature map. The enhanced feature map is split into channel feature maps of different resolutions, with each of the channel feature maps corresponding to channels of the enhanced feature map. Object detection is performed on the channel feature maps. | 2020-03-19 |
20200092464 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND NOTIFICATION METHOD - According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes one or more processors. The one or more processors obtain an image captured by a camera with a filter having a first area transmitting light of a first wavelength range and a second area transmitting light of a second wavelength range. The image includes a first color-component image based on the light of the first wavelength range and a second color-component image based on the light of the second wavelength range. The one or more processors notify a user of an effective area for calculation of depth information based on a bias of color information in the first color-component image and the second color-component image. | 2020-03-19 |
20200092465 | METHOD FOR EDITING IMAGE BASED ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENT AND ARTIFICIAL DEVICE - A method for editing an image based on artificial intelligence and an artificial intelligence device are disclosed. In the method for editing an image based on artificial intelligence, a recommended photographic composition is created by applying an image acquired by a camera to a pre-trained composition recommendation model, and the image is corrected based on the created recommended photographic composition, whereby it is possible to capture and edit an image at the same time without the trouble of correcting the image after capturing it. One or more of an artificial intelligence device of the present disclosure can be associated with artificial intelligence modules, drones (unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)), robots, augmented reality (AR) devices, virtual reality (VR) devices, devices related to | 2020-03-19 |
20200092466 | MANAGING CAMERA USAGE WITH WARNINGS AND/OR DISABLEMENT - An approach is provided for managing a usage of a camera. Based on a second location of the camera being determined to match a first location associated incidents of camera usage that caused harm, the camera is determined to be at a location of concern. The user is notified about the location of concern by a rule-specified, highlighted boundary in a pre-captured first image on the camera display. A person in a pre-captured second image is determined to be within the boundary. The usage of the camera by the user is determined to likely cause a danger to the person. Based on the person being within the boundary and the usage of the camera being likely to cause the danger, a functionality of the camera is disabled so that the camera is not able to capture an image. | 2020-03-19 |
20200092467 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus includes first and second line buffers, an image processing circuit configured to perform an image processing on first pixel data stored in the first line buffer and then second pixel data stored in the second line buffer, and a controller configured to control writing of the second pixel data in the second line buffer at a timing aligned with a synchronizing signal and reading of the second pixel data written in the second line buffer for the image processing by the image processing circuit at a timing of a completion of the image processing by the image processing circuit of the first pixel data stored in the first line buffer. | 2020-03-19 |
