A ROI Focusing Mechanism for Digital Cameras
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the development and application of digital technologies, the digital camera is more popular than other electronic products for all ages. The operations of digital cameras are facile and the user interface is similar in most brands. Auto-focusing is a common but important feature both for still image photography and video photography. Traditionally, focusing sensors are utilized for auto-focusing systems; in this study, we propose a new auto-focusing mechanism which uses the image sensor directly for measuring and estimating the focal distance. After the image is captured by Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors, users will select Region of Interest (ROI) and the system can explore the in-focus image automatically. The experimental results show the proposed mechanism has superior precision and elasticity of auto-focusing.

Increase in Accuracy of Passive Auto Focusing by a New Sharpness Function
Passive auto-focusing is a key feature in digital cameras and smart-phones which uses the image sharpness function to capture focused images without any user intervention. A focused image is obtained by adjusting the distance between the lens and the image sensor using the sharpness of captured image. This paper introduces a sharpness function for achieving passive auto-focusing in digital came...

متن کاملDiagnostic Accuracy of Digitized Images Using Different Resolution Settings of Digital Camera in Detection of Proximal Caries
Objective: When none of digital systems and scanners is accessible and it is essential to have digitized images of conventional radiographs, digital cameras can be used. The Aim of this study was to investigate whether digital images obtained by different resolutions of a digital camera are matched to the original radiographs in evaluation of caries. Methods: In this diagnostic accuracy in v...
متن کاملNon-destructive Method for Estimating Biomass of Plants Using Digital Camera Images
Abstract Plant growth and biomass assessments are required in production and research. Such assessments are followed by major decisions (e.g., harvest timing) that channel resources and influence outcomes. In research, resources required to assess crop status affect other aspects of experimentation and, therefore, discovery. Destructive harvests are important because they influence treatment s...
متن کاملA Proposed Simple Teleradiology System Using a Digital Camera
Background & Aims: Teleradiology as an efficient way for avoiding unnecessary transfer of patients to special medical centers requires the images with digital format. However, in some developing countries, including Iran, imaging is being done using non digital devices. In such cases, changing analog images into digital ones can solve the problem. The method which is nowadays used for digita...
