Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for filtering motion vector fields provided by a motion estimator apparatus are disclosed. The method includes receiving an input image, determining a motion vector field associated with the input image, determining a local segmentation image, forming a lattice map to identify periodic structures, using the local segmentation image and the lattice map to obtain an image segment pixel count and an image/motion segment pixel count, and using the segment pixel count and the image/motion segment pixel count to provide a filtered motion vector field. Some embodiments further include a motion estimation apparatus including an image delay apparatus, a lattice detector to find lattice structures in the input and delayed images, a histogram generator and a histogram analyzer to provide a set of horizontal and vertical search masks, a motion vector estimator to provide a motion vector field, and a motion vector filter as provided herein.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method of identifying test devices having excessive leakage current and also includes computer program products that enable the same. The method obtaining background test data using a test routine to measure the leakage current for a set of test devices as a function of a parameter associated with device speed for the device under test. From the test data, a leakage threshold function is defined that correlates leakage current with the parameter associated with device speed. The test routine and the leakage threshold function are then input into an automated testing apparatus configured to execute the test on production or other devices. Devices are tested to determine leakage current over a range of parameter values associated with device speed. The devices are then screened using the leakage threshold function to determine the status of the device.
