Systems And Methods Of Automatically Selecting A Focus Range In Cameras
US Patent:
2008005, Mar 6, 2008
Filed:
Aug 29, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/511731
Inventors:
John Mick - Fort Collins CO, US
Gregory Hofer - Fort Collins CO, US
Jason Yost - Fort Collins CO, US
Gregory Hofer - Fort Collins CO, US
Jason Yost - Fort Collins CO, US
International Classification:
G03B 13/00
US Classification:
396125
Abstract:
Systems and methods of automatically selecting a focus range in cameras are disclosed. In an exemplary implementation, a method for selecting a focus range to auto-focus a camera may include receiving focus data for different lens positions in a first focus range. The method may also include analyzing the focus data from the first focus range for focus data extending from the first focus range into at least a second focus range. The method may also include auto-focusing a camera lens using focus data in the first focus range if no focus data extends from the second focus range into the first focus range. The method may also include auto-focusing the camera lens using focus data in the second focus range if focus data in the second focus range extends into the first focus range.

International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382154
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and machine-readable and executable instructions are provided for filtering image data. Filtering image data can include determining a desired depth of field of an image, determining a distance between a pixel of the image and the desired depth of field. Filtering image data can also include adjusting a contrast of the pixel in proportion to a magnitude of a weight of the pixel, wherein the weight is based on the distance.

Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
H04N 17/00
US Classification:
348187
Abstract:
Producing calibration data (to remove vignetting, e. g. , color-dependent vignetting) for a digital camera includes: arranging, in front of the camera, a white reference surface that is to be imaged; capturing, via the camera, a characteristic array of data corresponding to an image of the reference surface for each color that the camera can image; and manipulating each characteristic array to reduce a total amount of data representing the reference image.

International Classification:
H04N 5/232
US Classification:
348349, 348E05045
Abstract:
Embodiments provide methods, apparatuses, and articles of manufacture for generating frames and changing lens positions based on the analysis of the frames. In one example, a controller coupled to a first camera and a second camera is to change a lens position of the first camera for a second frame based on the identification of a focal target in a frame generated by the second camera.
