Abstract:
A method and system for filtering an image frame of a video sequence from spurious motion, comprising the steps of dividing the image frame and a preceding image frame of the video sequence into blocks of pixels; determining motion vectors for the blocks of the image frame; determining inter-frame transformation parameters for the image frame based on the determined motion vectors; and generating a filtered image frame based on the determined inter-frame transformation parameters; wherein the image frame is dived into overlapping blocks.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving a video signal that comprises a time series of images of a face of a human, wherein the images in the time series of images comprise a set of landmark points in the face, applying tracking processing to the video signal to reveal variations over time of at least one image parameter at the set of landmark points in the human face, generating a set of variation signals indicative of variations revealed at respective landmark points in the set of landmark points, applying processing to the set of variation signals, the processing comprising artificial neural network processing to produce a reconstructed PhotoPletysmoGraphy (PPG) signal, and estimating a heart rate variability of a variable heart rate of the human as a function of the reconstructed PPG signal.
Abstract:
An embodiment of a method of recognizing finger detection data in a detection data map produced by a touch screen includes converting the data from the x, y, z space into a three-descriptor space including: a first coordinate representative of the number of intensity peaks in the map, a second coordinate representative of the number of nodes (i.e., pixels) absorbed under one or more of the intensity peaks. A third coordinate may be selected as the angular coefficient or slope of a piecewise-linear approximating function passing through points having the numbers of nodes absorbed under the intensity peaks ordered in decreasing order over said intensity peaks, which permits singling out finger data with respect to non-finger data over the whole of the touch screen. The third coordinate may be also selected as an adjacency value representative of the extent the intensity peaks are adjacent to one another, which permits singling out finger data produced over a portion of the touch screen with respect to non-finger data produced over another portion of the touch screen.

Abstract:
In an embodiment, a first individual image and a second individual image constituting an encoded stereoscopic image, for example in JPEG format with respective levels of encoding quality and united in a multiple-image file, for example of the Multiple-Picture Object (MPO) type. The second level of encoding quality is lower than the first level of encoding quality. During decoding, the first individual image encoded with a first level of encoding quality and the second individual image encoded with a second level of encoding quality lower than the first level of encoding quality are extracted from the multiple-image file, then using information of the first extracted individual image for enhancing the second extracted individual image.
