Abstract:
A method of generating an image using an image capturing device includes generating an imperfect image excluding data corresponding to one or more pixel sensors by capturing an object while the object is focused. A defocused image is generated to include the data corresponding to the one or more pixel sensors generated using neighboring pixel sensors around the one or more pixel sensors while the object is defocused. The data corresponding to the one or more pixel sensors is extracted based on data in the generated imperfect image and data in the generated defocused image. A final image is then generated by reflecting the extracted data to at least one of the generated imperfect image or the generated defocused image.
Abstract:
In some embodiments, an imaging device includes a pixel array. At least one of the pixels includes a photodiode that can generate charges, and a select transistor that receives the charges in its bulk. When the select transistor is selected, a pixel current through it may depend on a number of the received charges, thus evidencing how much light it detected. A reset transistor may reset the voltage of the bulk.

Abstract:
An image processing method includes adjusting a brightness of each of a first image and a second image based on a first exposure time when the first image is captured and a second exposure time when the second image is captured, respectively, the first and second images being generated by capturing a same object under different light conditions, estimating an intensity of light, reaching the object when the second image is captured, based on the adjusted brightness of each of the first and second images, separating the second image into two or more regions according to the estimated intensity of light, determining a target brightness that a final result image is to have, adjusting the brightness of the second image, by different amounts for each of the separated regions, based on the target brightness and generate the final result image based on the adjusted brightness of the second image.
Abstract:
An electronic device for generating a homomorphic ciphertext, includes: at least one processor, memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to: identify one or more messages; encode each of the one or more messages to generate a first set and a second set each including one or more ciphertexts; output a third set corresponding to a multi-key by applying a public key based on the first set and the second set; and control generation of the first set and the second set and the output of the third set to operate with a complexity of O(n), wherein n is equal to a number of the one or more messages and a number of the one or more ciphertexts.
