A sensing system comprising a measurement sensor configured to detect electromagnetic radiation and a reference sensor configured to detect a source of measurement uncertainty. The sensing system further comprises a shield configured to reduce an interaction between the electromagnetic radiation and the reference sensor.

Sensing system for the detection of electromagnetic radiation on an electronic device

Method and arrangement for encoding a video signal, wherein a selection ( ) is made between the generation of a motion-compensated encoded video signal (I, B, P) and the generation of a higher-resolution picture (I ). The creation of the higher-resolution picture (I ) relies on estimating motion in a series of subsequent pictures (f . . . ) of lower resolution. The higher-resolution picture (I ) is interpolated ( ) from these pictures (f . . . ). In a preferred embodiment of the invention, previously determined regions of interest (S(ROI)) are selected ( ) from the video signal. The pictures relating to these regions of interest (f . . . ) occupy less memory ( ) than entire pictures as picked up by an image sensor ( ). A conventional picture memory ( ) is sufficient to store the series of pictures (f . . . ) that relates to a certain region of interest. Motion estimation ( ) is performed on these pictures and their motion vectors (m) are stored in a vector memory ( ). The higher-resolution pictures (I ) are interpolated ( ) from the stored pictures (f . . . ) and their motion vectors (m). The invention is applicable for sensor ( )-encoder ( ) integration, for example in a camera system ( ).
