17 results about "Rolling shutter" patented technology

Rolling shutter is a method of image capture in which a still picture (in a still camera) or each frame of a video (in a video camera) is captured not by taking a snapshot of the entire scene at a single instant in time but rather by scanning across the scene rapidly, either vertically or horizontally. In other words, not all parts of the image of the scene are recorded at exactly the same instant. (Though, during playback, the entire image of the scene is displayed at once, as if it represents a single instant in time.) This produces predictable distortions of fast-moving objects or rapid flashes of light. This is in contrast with "global shutter" in which the entire frame is captured at the same instant.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and simulation system

An image processing apparatus according to the present technology includes: a distortion addition processing unit that inputs object unit images that are images for a plurality of objects constituting one frame image, and performs addition processing of rolling shutter distortion for each of the object unit images on the basis of information on a rolling shutter time difference; and a composite image generation unit that generates a composite image obtained by combining the object unit images subjected to the addition processing by the distortion addition processing unit into one frame image.

Time delay integration sensor with pixels having different sensing ability

PendingUS20260156382A1EngineeringRolling shutter
The present disclosure provides a time delay integration (TDI) sensor using a rolling shutter. The TDI sensor includes multiple pixel columns. Each pixel column includes multiple pixels arranged in an along-track direction, wherein two adjacent pixels or two adjacent pixel groups in every pixel column have a separation space therebetween. The separation space is equal to a pixel height multiplied by a time ratio of a line time difference of the rolling shutter and a frame period, or equal to a summation of at least one pixel height and a multiplication of the pixel height by the time ratio of the line time difference and the frame period. The TDI sensor generates image frames using pixels having different sensing ability for a processor to perform image combination.

Rolling shutter camera pipeline exposure time stamp error determination

A method and system for determining a camera pipeline exposure timestamp error in a rolling shutter camera system is disclosed. The exposure timestamp error determination system includes a rolling shutter image sensor configured to capture an image and a processor. The processor determines a timestamp error by capturing the image using the rolling shutter image sensor, where the image includes a barcode encoded with a barcode timestamp. The processor then obtains a system exposure timestamp corresponding to when the rolling shutter image sensor captured the image and obtains the barcode timestamp by decoding the barcode. The pipeline exposure timestamp error for the rolling shutter camera system is then determined by comparing the obtained barcode timestamp to the system exposure timestamp.

Rolling shutter egress system

An egress system for a motorized rolling shutter, comprises an articulated shutter curtain that is raised or lowered by winding or unwinding the curtain about a rotatable cylinder. A planetary gear system comprises a sun gear, planet gears, a planet carrier, and a ring gear. Rotation of the planet carrier is driven by a motor, and ring gear is rotationally coupled to the cylinder. In motorized operation, the rotation of the sun gear is arrested by a brake, such that the rotation of the planet carrier causes the planet gears to rotate, which drive the rotation of the ring gear and cylinder. When the motor is inoperable, the brake is released to permit rotation of the sun gear, which permits the planet gears to rotate without rotation of the planet carrier, and allows the manual rotation of the ring gear and cylinder.
