摘要： Present novel and non-trivial system, device, and method for combining image data received from two or more vision systems are disclosed. A system may be comprised of a first vision source, a second vision source, and an image generator (“IG”). The first vision source may be could configured to generate a first image data set and a depth buffer data set, and the second vision data source could configured to generate a second image data set. The IG could be configured to receive both the first and second image data sets; the depth buffer data set; and generate a third image data set as a function of both image data sets, the depth buffer data set, and a pixel cutoff distance that may be fixed or variable. In addition, the pixel cutoff distance may be determined as a function of input variable data.

摘要： A present novel and non-trivial system, device, and method for reducing image generating latency of an image presented on a display unit are disclosed. An image processing unit (“IPU”) may receive the image data set; receive (1) first navigation data of a first time from which second navigation data of the second time is determined or (2) second navigation data of a second time; receive third navigation data of the second time; compare the second navigation data with the third navigation data; and select a subset of the image data set in response to the comparison. Differences arising from the comparison, if any, may be used in determining the location and/or rotation of a cropping frame that selects the subset and forms a cropped image which is then provided to a display system, whereby the image represented in the subset is presented to the viewer.

摘要： Present novel and non-trivial system, device, and method for preventing artifacts in an electromagnetic imaging system are disclosed. A processing unit may be configured to receive or derive exposure data corresponding to an exposure of electromagnetic radiation; identify each cell of the exposure data exceeding a maximum exposure limit; generate address data representative of an address of each identified cell; and send the address data to a modifiable medium such as (1) an array of reflecting devices that are modifiable through repositioning techniques, (2) an array of transmissive devices that are modifiable to prevent the passage of radiation, and/or (3) an occulting disk whose position is modifiable to prevent the passage of radiation. The exposure data could be comprised of actual exposure data received from a radiation detector. Alternatively, the exposure data could be comprised of calculated exposure data.

摘要： A system, device, and method for generating and presenting enhanced image content are disclosed. The enhanced image content presenting system may include a display system receiving enhanced spatial image pixel (SIP) data from an image processor (IP). The IP may be configured to acquire one or more first frequency image pixel (FIP) data, create one or more second FIP data as a function of the at least one first FIP data; determine one or more first enhancement metrics as a function of the one or more second FIP data; and enhance each one of the FIP data as a function of one first enhancement metric or a combination of the first enhancement metrics. In some embodiments, each FIP data may have been formed as a layer of a Laplacian pyramid that results from a deconstruction of pre-enhanced SIP data.
