Abstract: Reducing or eliminated color-dependent vignetting in a digital camera includes: providing, for each color that said camera can image, a raw array of data corresponding to a desired scene; and changing the raw arrays such that the array for each color exhibits substantially the same amount of vignetting so as to reduce color-dependent vignetting in a composite image based upon each of the changed arrays.
Abstract translation: 在数码相机中减少或消除颜色依赖的渐晕包括：为所述相机可以成像的每种颜色提供与期望场景相对应的原始数据阵列; 并且改变原始阵列，使得每种颜色的阵列基于相同量的渐晕，以便基于每个改变的阵列来减少合成图像中的颜色依赖性渐晕。

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for providing spatially-varied demosaicing. In one embodiment, a system and method pertain to collecting color information sensed by image sensor pixels, and estimating color information as to a pixel under consideration that is not collected by the pixel by weighting color information collected by adjacent pixels that are positioned in a direction in which color is shifted due to lateral chromatic aberration.

Abstract: Auto-focus in a digital camera is improved by stabilizing successive images. Each auto-focus image is correlated to previous images so that scene movement or motion can be tracked. The area in the scene where focus figure-of-merit is computed is adjusted according to the amount of scene movement. Also, two separate focus frames may be compared to determine the direction and speed of the motion. This improves the accuracy of the focus figure-of-merit which results in fewer autofocus failures.
Abstract translation: 通过稳定连续的图像，可以提高数码相机的自动对焦。 每个自动对焦图像与先前的图像相关，以便可以跟踪场景移动或运动。 根据场景移动量调整计算焦点品质因数的场景区域。 此外，可以比较两个单独的焦点帧以确定运动的方向和速度。 这提高了聚焦优点的精确度，从而导致更少的自动对焦故障。

Abstract: Producing calibration data (to remove vignetting, e.g., color-dependent vignetting) for a digital camera includes: arranging, in front of the camera, a white reference surface that is to be imaged; capturing, via the camera, a characteristic array of data corresponding to an image of the reference surface for each color that the camera can image; and manipulating each characteristic array to reduce a total amount of data representing the reference image.

Abstract: A method of identifying battery chemistry of a battery in an electronic device monitors voltage behavior of the battery in response to a stimulus. The method can be performed in the electronic device while the device is in normal operation without affecting battery life or the user's enjoyment. Further, the method can be performed many times within the device also without compromising battery life or user enjoyment. A system implements the method in the electronic device. The present invention provides for more accurate battery fuel gauging, such that a battery's end of life is more readily determinable, and allows for various battery chemistries to be drained to their optimal cutoff voltage, and allows for the safe in-device charging of rechargeable batteries that are the same size and shape as non-rechargeable batteries.
