Abstract:
A method and system automatically determines the width (i.e., left and right edges) of a document when it is loaded for scanning or copying. When a document is staged, the scanner collects a predetermined number scanlines of the leadedge of the document. Both first order and second order statistics of the scanner and document are then calculated based on the scanned data. The auto-width detection process is adaptive to CCD sensor output variation, document variation, and scanner variation, thus making it robust against dust in the sensor path and random fluctuations of the scanner.
Abstract:
A method for displaying an input image on a display includes receiving the input image to be displayed on the display. The image is modified with a first process to determine a driving signal for a two-dimensional backlight array of independently selectable light emitting elements of the display. The first modified image is modified with a second noise reducing process to determine a driving signal for a two-dimensional liquid crystal layer defining pixels of the display. The two-dimensional backlight array has a different density of light emitting elements than the two-dimensional liquid crystal layer defining the pixels of the display.
Abstract:
A backlit display with improved dynamic range. A first pixel is illuminated at a first non-zero illumination level during a first frame and a second non-zero illumination level during a second frame, immediately following the first frame. The second illumination level is greater than the first level. The first pixel is decreased in illumination to a level less than the first illumination level prior to illuminating the first pixel at the second illumination level during the second frame.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display includes a backlight. The backlight includes a plurality of waveguides to selectively direct light. A set of selection elements in combination with the backlight selectively direct light to the front of the display.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present invention relate to systems and methods for performing white balance operations for an LED display backlight. Some aspects related to an iterative process wherein display backlight luminance and color are sampled at an intermediate resolution between the resolution of the LED backlight and the resolution of the LCD display. Some aspects relate to a process wherein r, g and b driving value differences are determined using a deconvolution technique.
Abstract:
A system for coding images, and more particularly, to a system for compressing images to a reduced number of bits by employing a Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) in combination with a visual model.
Abstract:
A backlit display that displays an image having a luminance that is separated into a transmission component driving liquid crystal material and an illumination component driving a backlight, where the transmission component comprises at least 60% of the image luminance and the illumination component comprises less than 30% of the image luminance.
