摘要:
Embodiments include methods of image processing in which pixels of an image are classified according to color. An exposure control operation is performed according to the pixel classifications. In one example, the pixels are classified according to a predetermined segmentation of a color space, based on predicted sensor responses. In another example, the pixels are classified according to a color selected from among at least two colors.

Automatic weight adjustment (AWA) to derive an optimal color correction matrix may address unbalanced color reproduction performance among different illuminations and/or unbalanced color reproduction performance for specific memory colors. AWA may emphasize particular colors and equalize color performance. AWA may be implemented in an automatic process with optional manual operation.

The disclosure is directed to techniques for automatic focus control. The automatic focus control techniques prioritize focus of a camera based on skin tone using a skin color detection approach which is intrinsically image sensor-dependent. Sensor-dependent skin color detection to support automatic skin tone prioritized focus control in a camera can enhance the focus of people in the scene. The techniques may be especially useful in digital video camera design, digital still photo camera design, and sensor applications involving people tracking. Sensor-dependent skin color detection is performed once a specific sensor is characterized by taking several raw images of a standard color test target in controlled illumination conditions. Sensor-dependent skin color detection can provide high detection precision and reliability. With sensor-dependent skin color detection, the focus of a camera can be automatically adjusted to prioritize regions of an image containing skin tones.

Embodiments include a method of image processing including decomposing a reflectance spectrum for a test surface into a linear combination of reflectance spectra of a set of test targets. The coefficient vector calculated in this decomposition is used to predict a response of an imaging sensor to the test surface. A plurality of such predicted responses may be used for various applications involving color detection and/or classification, including human skin tone detection.
摘要:
Luma adaptation for digital image processing. Luminance signals are separated from sensor RGB signals representing an image. A transfer function is obtained from the luminance signals. Using the transfer function, the sensor RGB signals are adjusted to adapt the luma of the image.

Apparatus for detecting etch defects in an object having a plurality of openings by generating an image signal of the object representing light intensity values of a plurality of pixels, processing the image signal to form data signals representing light intensity values of groups of pixels, filtering the data signals to remove signals representing the ends of the openings, and pairing two data signals when the groups of pixels represented thereby represent an etch defect.

A lighting control apparatus for illuminating a moving variable-speed web for inspection with a camera is provided. The apparatus is comprised of a detecting device for detecting the positioning of the web; a lighting device, aligned with the camera, for emitting a light to illuminate the web; a calculating device for calculating the speed of the web; and a control device which controls the emission of light by the lighting device as a function of the speed of the web.
摘要:
Apparatus are provided, including an autofocus mechanism. The autofocus mechanism includes an autofocus preliminary operation mechanism and an autofocus continuation mechanism. The autofocus preliminary operation mechanism starts an autofocus of a lens assembly on a given target by causing a focus quality determiner to determine the quality of focus of the lens assembly on the given target while the position of the lens unit is in one focus range and causing an adjustment controller to effect a preliminary adjustment of the lens assembly position within the same one focus range. The autofocus continuation mechanism automatically, upon a lack of successful focus by the autofocus preliminary operation mechanism, continues an autofocus of the lens assembly on the given target by causing the adjustment controller to effect a continued adjustment of the lens assembly position from the one focus range to a different focus range while the focus quality determiner continues to determine the quality of the focus.
摘要:
Apparatus for determining at least one edge of an object having a plurality of openings with respective edges. An imaging device generates an image signal of the object to represent light intensity values of a plurality of pixels, the image signal being processed to estimate a linear relationship derived from the light intensity values of a predetermined number of the pixels. A determining device determines whether the linear relationship includes at least one light intensity value corresponding to an edge.
