Abstract: A security module generates a random image having a plurality of password-element indicators therein. The random image is provided to a user. The user selects portions of the random image. The security module determines whether the selected portions of the random image correspond to a password for the user. The security module grants access if the selected portions of the random image correspond to the user's password. However, if the selected portions of the random image do not correspond to the user's password, the security module may generate another random image having a plurality of password-element indicators therein, wherein each of the random images are computationally de-correlated.

Abstract: A plurality of modules interact to form an adaptive network in which each module transmits and receives data signals indicative of proximity of objects. A central computer accumulates the data produced or received and relayed by each module for analyzing proximity responses to transmit through the adaptive network control signals to a selectively-addressed module to respond to computer analyses of the data accumulated from modules forming the adaptive network. Interactions of local processors in modules that sense an intrusion determine the location and path of movements of the intruding object and control cameras in the modules to retrieve video images of the intruding object. Multiple operational frequencies in adaptive networks permit expansions by additional networks that each operate at separate radio frequencies to avoid overlapping interaction. Additional modules may be introduced into operating networks without knowing the operating frequency at the time of introduction. Remote modules operating as leaf nodes of the adaptive network actively adapt to changed network conditions upon awaking from power-conserving sleep mode. New programs are distributed to all or selected modules under control of the base station.

Abstract: An image processing system implements recursive 3D super precision for processing smoothly changing video image areas by performing temporal noise reduction and then 2D super precision. The temporal noise reduction is applied to two frames, one being the current input low precision frame, and the other being the previous higher precision frame from memory. The 2D super precision is applied to the noise reduced frame to output a high precision frame which is also saved into memory for processing the next incoming frame. The input frame has a limited bit depth while the output image has an increased bit depth.

Abstract: The system described herein is a unified approach to three-dimensional filtering for the reduction of video noise. The technique is based on weight averaging pixels of the filter's output value in a three-dimensional neighborhood, in space and time, of the filter's output value. The weights can be computed for individual factors, such as distance, regional differences, etc., or can be combined into a weight that is indicative of all individual weights.

Abstract: An example-based method and system for electronic display color calibration is provided. By comparing the colors of commonly available objects with a color database under a controlled lighting condition, the user adjusts the gain and offset parameters of the Red, Green and Blue color components of the display. Two different methods are provided, wherein one method involves manipulating the comparison colors in the RGB color space, and the other method involves manipulating the comparison colors in the CIE x-y plane. Two different systems that incorporate the example-based color calibration methods are also provided, wherein one system directly implements the calibration method in the television system, while the other system implements the calibration method as a separate tool for viewers to calibrate the color of their displays.
