Abstract: An example includes a system, having: an illumination source configured to produce illumination light; and a spatial light modulator (SLM) optically coupled to the illumination source, the SLM comprising an array of picture elements. The SLM is configured to: receive the illumination light; direct, by a first portion of the picture elements, on state light in a first direction; and direct, by a second portion of the picture elements, off state light in a second direction. The example system includes imaging optics optically coupled to the SLM, the imaging optics configured to receive the on state light from the SLM and to project an image as an image portion of a beam; and non-imaging optics optically coupled to the SLM, the non-imaging optics configured to receive the off state light from the SLM and to project the off state light as part of the beam.

Abstract: A method for filtering noise for imaging includes receiving an image frame having position and range data. A filter size divides the frame into filter windows for processing each of the filter windows. For the first pixel, a space to the center pixel and a range difference between this pixel and the center pixel is determined and used for choosing a selected weight from weights in a 2D weight LUT including weighting for space and range difference, a filtered range value is calculated by applying the selected 2D weight to the pixel, and the range, filtered range value and selected 2D weight are summed. The determining, choosing, calculating and summing are repeated for at least the second pixel. A total sum of contributions from the first and second pixel are divided by the sum of selected 2D weights to generate a final filtered range value for the center pixel.

Abstract: A method of de-mosaicing pixel data from an image processor includes generating a pixel block that includes a plurality of image pixels. The method also includes determining a first image gradient between a first set of pixels of the pixel block and a second image gradient between a second set of pixels of the pixel block. The method also includes determining a first adaptive threshold value based on intensity of a third set of pixels of the pixel block. The pixels of the third set of pixels are adjacent to one another. The method also includes filtering the pixel block in a vertical, horizontal, or neutral direction based on the first and second image gradients and the first adaptive threshold value utilizing a plurality of FIR filters to generate a plurality of component images.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for geometrically correcting an arbitrary shaped input frame and generating an undistorted output frame. The method includes capturing arbitrary shaped input images with multiple optical devices and processing the images, identifying redundant blocks and valid blocks in each of the images, allocating an output frame with an output frame size and dividing the output frame into regions shaped as a rectangle, programming the apparatus and disabling processing for invalid blocks in each of the regions, fetching data corresponding to each of the valid blocks and storing in an internal memory, interpolating data for each of the regions with stitching and composing the valid blocks for the output frame and displaying the output frame on a display module.
