摘要:
A system for providing an adjusted image of a scene includes an optical assembly, a capturing system coupled to the optical assembly, and a control system. The optical assembly is adjustable to alternatively be focused on a first focal area and a second focal area that is different than the first focal area. The capturing system captures a first frame of the scene when the optical assembly is focused at the first focal area, and a second frame of the scene when the optical assembly is focused at the second focal area. The first frame includes a plurality of first pixels and the second frame includes a plurality of second pixels. The control system analyzes the first frame and the second frame and utilizes graph cuts techniques to assign a depth label to at least a portion of the first frame.
摘要:
A group point spread function (238) for a blurry image (18) can be determined by dividing the blurry image (18) into a plurality of image regions (232), estimating a region point spread function (234) for at least two of the image regions (232); and utilizing at least two of the region point spread functions (234) to determine the group point spread function (238). The group point spread function (238) can be determined by the decomposition of the estimated region point spread functions (234) into some basis function, and subsequently determining a representative coefficient from the basis functions of the region point spread functions (234) to generate the group point spread function (238).

An image apparatus (10) for providing an adjusted image (242) of a scene (236) includes a capturing system (16) and a control system (24). The capturing system (16) captures an underexposed first frame (240) that is defined by a plurality of pixels (240A), including a first pixel and a second pixel. The first frame (240) includes at least one of a first texture region (240S) and a second texture region (240T). The control system (24) can analyze information from the pixels (240A) and determine if the first pixel has captured a portion of the first texture region (240S) or the second texture region (240T). Further, the control system (16) can analyze information from the pixels (240A) and to determine if the second pixel has captured a portion of the first texture region (240S) or the second texture region (240T). With this design, the control system (16) can reduce the noise in the first frame (240) to provide a well exposed adjusted image (242).

A camera (210) for providing an adjusted image (214) of a scene (12) includes an apparatus frame (224), an optical assembly (222), a capturing system (226), and a control system (232). The optical assembly (222) is adjustable to alternatively be focused on a first focal area (356A) and a second focal area (356B) that is different than the first focal area (356A). The capturing system (226) captures a first captured image (360A) when the optical assembly (222) is focused at the first focal area (356A) and captures a second captured image (360B) when the optical assembly (222) is focused at the second focal area (356B). The control system (232) provides the adjusted image (214) of the scene (12) based upon the first captured image (360A) and the second captured image (360B). Additionally, the control system (232) can perform object depth extraction of one or more objects (16) (18) (20) in the scene (12). Alternatively, the multiple captured images (360A) (360B) can be adjusted by a separate adjustment system (680).

摘要:
A method for estimating whether an image (14) is either blurred or sharp includes the steps of (i) determining an image gradient histogram distrbution (410) of at least a portion of the image (14), (ii) comparing at least a portion of the image gradient histogram distribution (410) to a Gaussian model (414), and (iii) estimating a defocus blur size of at least a portion of the image (14) Additional methods for evaluating whether the image (14) has motion blur are provided herein For example, a dominant gradient orientation can be detected by histogram analysis (716), and the dominant gradient orientation (718) can be used to determine a possible motion blur direction (720) Alternatively, a dominant gradient orientation can be detected using principal component analysis (“PCA”) on the image.
摘要:
In a first aspect, a method and an apparatus for processing an image classifies the image content of a portion of the image, and in response thereto, selects between linear interpolation (e.g., cubic) and non-linear interpolation (median) methods to interpolate data points for the portion of the image. In one embodiment, non-linear interpolation is selected if the image content of the portion of the image is bi-level, or if portion of the image includes an edge and lacks a specified measure of correlation along a line. Linear interpolation is used in portions where the image content does not include an identified edge and in portions where there is an identified edge in combination with an identified edge direction or a path of isobrightness. In a second aspect, a method and apparatus for use in classifying the image content of a portion of an image calculates a reference value from pixel values for a portion of an image and generates data indicative of which pixel values are greater than the reference value and which pixel values are less than the reference value.
摘要:
A component of an image processor receives at least a portion of one or more reconstructed versions of an image including a causal context of an object pixel of the image, and provides a prediction for the object pixel computed as a weighted sum according to at least one measure of correlation and a weighting policy. A component receives a first prediction of an object pixel and reconstructed versions of an image, and provides a second prediction for the object pixel in accordance with the first prediction for the object pixel and a substantially mean error for the context. A component receives one or more prediction differences versions of the image including a causal context prediction difference of an object prediction difference of the image, and provides a prediction for the object prediction difference computed as a weighted sum according to at least one measure of correlation and a weighting policy.
