摘要:
A stereo-imaging system estimates depth based on two images; a multiview-imaging system estimates depth based on two or more images. A passive multiview-imaging system based on a sensor array is designed by considering different candidate partitions of the sensor array into imaging subsystems, especially three or more imaging subsystems.

Metrics for characterizing the focusing of a plenoptic imaging system. In one aspect, the metric is based on the high frequency content and/or the blurring of the plenoptic image.

Adaptive optics (AO) elements in imaging system allow dynamic and precise control over the optical wavefront to reduce uncontrolled wavefront errors in imaging systems. Traditional control of such devices is based on inverting the wavefront function to minimize the RMS wavefront error. However, this approach is not always optimal, particularly when the wavefront error is near or exceeds the limit of the AO element's correction capability. In the current approach, the AO element is instead controlled based on a performance metric that takes into account image processing, and not just RMS wavefront error.

Techniques for performing a task while preserving the privacy or confidentiality of information used as input for the task. In one embodiment the task is broken down into smaller tasks (called subtasks or microtasks), which are then outsourced. The input information for each microtask is based upon and is generally a subset of the input information received for the task. The determination of microtasks for the task is performed in such a manner that constraints associated with the task are satisfied. For example, microtasks may be determined for the task based upon risk (e.g., the risk associated with the privacy or confidentiality of the input information being compromised as a result of the outsourcing), quality constraints (e.g., desired quality of the work product resulting from performance of the task), cost constraints, and other constraints associated with the job.

A digital-optical imaging system can be operated in two modes, which shall be referred to as broadband mode and grayscale mode. In broadband mode, different color images are captured and then image processed together. The optics are intentionally aberrated to increase the depth of field, with the image processing compensating for the aberrations. In grayscale mode, the different color images are captured and then image processed separately. The color images are assumed to be correlated so that it is not necessary to have clear images of all color channels. Accordingly, the optics are designed so that the different color images focus at different locations, thus increasing the overall depth of field where at least one color image is in focus.

A method and apparatus for block quantization for color halftoning is described. In one embodiment, the method comprises dividing an input image and an output image into blocks, wherein each block in the output image corresponds to one block in the input image. The method also includes dividing each block into subblocks if an edge exists in said each block, calculating a color average of each input block, and calculating a set of output colors for each block in the output image to match the color average of its corresponding block in the input image.

A method and apparatus for open data collection is provided. The method of machine learning comprises setting up a system for learning, the system having certain goals. The method further comprising presenting queries to non-expert netizens over a network, the netizens participating in the training process. Then, based on responses to the queries, the method continually updating the system and refining the queries.

A system for performing recognition having a telephone transmitter, a camera, a data channel and recognition processing logic, in which the camera is directly mounted to and positioned with respect to the telephone housing to obtain video information from a non-direct frontal view of the speaker corresponding to at least one facial feature for use in speechreading. The facial features that may be obtained include the position of the tongue, separation of the teeth and the rounding protrusion of the lips. Using this data, recognition processing logic performs speechreading recognition of the video information.
摘要:
A messaging system in which a sender is able to receive certification of receipt of messages sent to a receiver that ensures that only the desired recipient gains access to the messages. Also, the messaging system sends between a sender and a receiver both encrypted communications and decryption information used to decipher the encrypted communications.
