An image processing method and a device configured to implement the same are disclosed. The method comprises: from an imaging device, obtaining image data that comprises temporally consecutive image frames; performing feature extraction on each of the obtained image frames; dynamically retaining extracted feature data of the obtained image frames in a feature accumulation database by regulating data retention in the feature accumulation database to a selective subset of the extracted feature data from the obtained image frames; performing Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC) operation on the selective subset of the extracted feature data from the feature accumulation database; and generating an estimation model from output of the RANSAC operation based on at least one of an extracted feature data of a current image frame or extracted feature data of one or more temporally preceding image frames of the obtained image frames.

Image processing method and apparatus implementing the same

The present application discloses an imaging system for detecting human-object interaction and a method for detecting human-object interaction thereof. The imaging system includes an event sensor, an image sensor, and a controller. The event sensor is configured obtain an event data set of the targeted scene according to variations of light intensity sensed by pixels of the event sensor when an event occurs in the targeted scene. The image sensor is configured capture a visual image of the targeted scene. The controller is configured to detect human according to the event data set, trigger the image sensor to capture the visual image when the human is detected, and detect the human-object interaction in the targeted scene according to the visual image and a series of event data sets obtained by the event sensor during the event.

A multiple camera imaging system, comprising a first camera image sensor configured to obtain a first image of a scene from a first vantage perspective point; a second camera image sensor configured to obtain a second image of the scene from a second vantage perspective point; and an image signal processor (ISP), configured to process the first image and the second image by performing the following steps: producing a first monotone image from the first image, and a second monotone image from the second image; projecting the first monotone image to produce a first one-dimensional profile; and projecting the second monotone image to produce a second one-dimensional profile; extracting a matching information from the first and second one-dimensional profiles by matching the second one-dimensional profile to the first one dimensional profile; using the matching information produce a first processed two-dimensional image, and a second processed two-dimensional image that is aligned with the first processed two-dimensional image.
