The present disclosure provides a smart device. The smart device includes: single or multiple image sensors, a communication device, a processor; and a memory storing a computer program that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to: synchronize a time of single or multiple timers of the smart device or the image sensors among the multiple smart devices, based on a protocol for time synchronization on wireless communication by using the communication device; and directly or indirectly control shutter opening and closing timing of each image sensor, in order to keep constancy of shooting time interval and phase, wherein the phase is a remainder obtained by dividing shooting time by the shooting time interval. The present disclosure improves the accuracy of synchronized capturing.

System for wireless synchronized capturing, and smart device

There is provided an image processing apparatus which calculates a feature value of an image. The apparatus comprises first obtaining means for obtaining an image; calculation means for calculating a set of numerical values formed from degrees of contributions of each of a plurality of order, wherein the degree of contributions of each order indicate contributions of monomials of the order for intensity values which are calculated using an approximation polynomial, and wherein the approximation polynomial provides a relationship between a pixel position of the image and an intensity value at the pixel position and is formed from a plurality of the monomials each having an order out of the plurality of orders; and first output means for outputting the set of the calculated numerical values as the feature value of the image.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method and program

A registration processing apparatus generates a polynomial to calculate a value corresponding to a distance from the surface of a target object in a first image, and acquires a plurality of position coordinates on the surface of the target object in a second image. Then the apparatus respectively calculates a value corresponding to the distance from the surface of the target object in the first image using the polynomial, for position coordinates obtained by coordinate conversion of the plurality of position coordinates. The apparatus coordinate-converts the position coordinates of the second image by a coordinate conversion method for the plurality of position coordinates determined based on the calculated values.
