A surveying apparatus comprising a controller (CPU), the controller (CPU) being configured to: receive an image stream representing a video sequence; determine a camera pose for a second image in the image stream relative a first image in the image stream; match the first image with the second image, based on the cam-era pose; and generate a three dimensional model based on the image match.

Forest surveying

A device measures positions of a plurality of objects. The device comprises a memory arranged to store positioning data for a plurality of objects having mutual constant positions, an input interface arranged to obtain measurement data of relative positions for at least a subset of the plurality of objects, and a processor arranged to calculate an adapted measurement position for at least one of the objects of the subset of the plurality of objects by correlating the measured relative positions for the at least a subset of the plurality of objects with the acquired positioning data. The adapted measurement position is based on the positioning data. Corresponding method and computer program are also disclosed.

A surveying apparatus () comprising a controller (CPU), the controller (CPU) being configured to: receive an image stream representing a video sequence; determine a camera pose for a second image in the image stream relative a first image in the image stream; match the first image with the second image, based on the camera pose; and generate a three dimensional model based on the image match.

An apparatus and method for determining a user activity include or define a plurality of baseline signatures, each baseline signature corresponding to a type of user activity and having data formed from a first data representing a varying static electric field and a second data representing motion. Data responsive to a varying static electric field is obtained from a first sensor, and data responsive to motion is obtained from a second sensor. The first data is combined with the second data, and the user activity is identified based on a comparison of the combined first and second data with the plurality of baseline signatures.

The present disclosure provides a system and method of setting a display brightness of a display of an electronic device. One or more images of a user of the electronic device may be captured with a camera of the electronic device. A characteristic of an eye of the user may be detected in the one or more images. A light adaptation state of the user's eye may be determined based on the detected characteristic. The display brightness of the display of the electronic device may be set in view of the determined light adaptation state.

An electronic device includes a proximity-sensitive touch sensor array which extends along an input surface of the electronic device and a processing device coupled to the touch sensor array. The processing device is configured to process data captured by the touch sensor array to determine a finger angle at which a finger is directed towards the input surface and an actuation position on the input surface. The processing device is configured to establish an offset-corrected actuation position as a function of the actuation position and the finger angle.

A method and system for displaying of a holographic image of an object in a predefined area. A positioning unit is configured for detecting positions of at least one viewer within the predefined area, a sensor is configured for detecting the environmental conditions within the predefined area, a processor is configured for collecting data including detected positions of viewers and detected environmental condition and calculating a location for displaying holographic image based on the collected data.

Method and system for interaction using holographic display system

Operating a camera system that includes a forward-facing camera directed at a forward scene and a rearward-facing camera directed at a rearward scene opposite the forward scene includes analyzing a video stream containing a reflection of the forward scene in a cornea of an eye of a user of the camera system, the video stream captured with the rearward-facing camera. The analyzing includes identifying an item in the reflection moving relative to a field of view of the forward-facing camera and predicted to enter the field of view of the forward-facing camera and identifying a characteristic of the item. A camera setting of the forward-facing camera is adjusted according to the characteristic of the identified item, the adjusted camera setting selected to improve capturing a photograph or video containing the item with the forward-facing camera.

A lifelog camera is configured to capture the digital image without user input upon detection of a sound-based trigger in an audio signal output by a microphone present at the lifelog camera. The sound-based trigger is indicative of activity of the user or another person near the user.

Lifelog camera and method of controlling same using voice triggers

Obtaining a digital image tagged with corrected image direction information includes capturing and storing a digital image of a scene defined by a field of view of a lifelog camera () used to capture the image. A forward-facing direction () of a user of the lifelog camera is identified, the forward-facing direction within the field of view of the lifelog camera. A component of the image that contains image data corresponding to a portion of the scene containing the forward-facing direction of the user is also identified. The digital image is then tagged with the identified component.
