    摘要: A system for implementing and utilizing a lens array in an electronic device includes a sensor array coupled to the electronic device for capturing image data corresponding to a photographic target. The lens array includes a plurality of lenses that each has a different respective principal focal length to transmit reflected light from the photographic target to the sensor array. The sensor array captures a set of MFP images that each corresponds with a respective one of the lenses in the MFP lens array. The electronic device may further include an image processor that performs one or more digital signal processing procedures on the captured MFP images to thereby generate a rendered final image.

    摘要: A camera and method which selectively applies image content adjustments to elements contained in the image material. By way of example, the method involves registration of user touch screen input and determination of the arbitrary extent of a specific element in the captured image material at the location at which touch input was registered. Once selected, the element can be highlighted on the display, and additional user input may be optionally input to control what type of adjustment is to be applied. Then the element within the captured image material is processed to apply automatic, or user-selected, adjustments to the content of said element in relation to the remainder of the captured image. The adjustments to the image element may comprise any conventional forms of image editing, such as saturation, white balance, exposure, sizing, noise reduction, sharpening, blurring, deleting and so forth.

    摘要: Converting two dimensional images to three dimensional images using Global Positioning System (GPS) data and Digital Surface Models (DSMs) is described herein. DSMs and GPS data are used to position a virtual camera. The distance between the virtual camera to the DSM is used to reconstruct a depth map. The depth map and two dimensional image are used to render a three dimensional image.

    摘要: A method for high dynamic range compression uses a modified cumulative histogram as a compression curve. This curve is computed from the cumulative histogram of the image with constraints that the local derivative on the curve does not exceed a certain limit. The limit is fixed along the curve or the limit is variable, taking into account noise characteristics at various pixel values. To provide appropriate detail preservation, a smoothing filter is used to separate the image into an illumination image, referred to as a base image, and a detail image, and the compression curve is applied to the base image only. The compression method provides high dynamic range compression of the image while preserving the global contrast perception. Conventional global algorithms for high dynamic range compression are not capable of achieving this result. The proposed high dynamic range compression method also minimizes noise amplification while lightening the dark areas during image compression.

    摘要: A spatial transformation methodology provides a new image interpolation scheme, or analyzes an already existing one. Examples of spatial operations include but are not limited to, demosaicing, edge enhancement or sharpening, linear filtering, and non-linear filtering. A demosaicing operation is described herein, although the scheme is applied generally to spatial transformation operations. The spatial transformation methodology includes detailed expressions for the noise covariance after a spatial operation is performed for each of the three color channels, red, green, and blue. A color filter array is in the form of a Bayer pattern and demosaicing is performed using a 4-neighbor bilinear interpolation. Using lattice theory, the spatial transformation methodology predicts noise covariance after demosaicing in terms of the input noise covariance and an autocorrelation function of the image is determined for a given selectable number of shifts.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a sub-pixel rendering method includes receiving 3D image data associated with pixel intensity values of N two-dimensional images having multiple sets of corresponding pixels. Each set of corresponding pixels includes N pixels (one pixel from each of N images) and each pixel has a green sub-pixel, a red sub-pixel and a blue sub-pixel. The method further includes mapping, for each selected set, N green sub-pixels, N red sub-pixels and N blue sub-pixels to M sub-pixels on a display to form a stereogram of the scene. The above mapping includes mapping N green sub-pixels from N images to N green sub-pixels on the display, mapping N red sub-pixels from N images to L red sub-pixels on the display, and mapping N blue sub-pixels from N images to K blue sub-pixels on the display, where L does not exceed N and K is lower than N.
