    摘要: A two-dimensional (2D) mesh is applied over a distortion surface to approximate a lens roll-off distortion pattern. The process to apply the 2D mesh distributes a plurality of grid points among the distortion pattern and sub-samples the distortion pattern to derive corrected digital gains at each grid location. Non-grid pixels underlying grid blocks having a grid point at each corner are adjusted based on the approximation of the lens roll-off for the grid points of the grid block. In one example, bilinear interpolation is used. The techniques universally correct lens roll-off distortion irregardless of the distortion pattern shape or type. The technique may also correct for green channel imbalance.

    摘要: A device has a processing unit to implement a set of operations to use both luma and chroma information from a scene of an image to dynamically adjust exposure time and sensor gain. The processing unit collects bright near grey pixels and high chroma pixels in the scene. Based on the collected pixels, brightness of the near grey pixels is increased to a predetermined level without saturation. At the same time, the high chroma pixels are kept away from saturation.

The collection module is configured to accumulate (a) red/green and blue/green color ratio values of a plurality of pixels in a captured image for each cluster of a plurality of clusters and (b) a number of pixels having red/green and blue/green color ratios associated with each cluster, the clusters comprising daylight, fluorescent, incandescent, and a outdoor green zone. The processor is configured to determine which cluster has a highest accumulated number of pixels, and use the cluster with the highest accumulated number of pixels to perform white balancing for the captured image.

    摘要: This disclosure describes adaptive filtering techniques to improve the quality of captured imagery, such as video or still images. In particular, this disclosure describes adaptive filtering techniques that filter each pixel as a function of a set of surrounding pixels. An adaptive image filter may compare image information associated with a pixel of interest to image information associated with a set of surrounding pixels by, for example, computing differences between the image information associated with the pixel of interest and each of the surrounding pixels of the set. The computed differences can be used in a variety of ways to filter image information of the pixel of interest. In some embodiments, for example, the adaptive image filter may include both a low pass component and high pass component that adjust as a function of the computed differences.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for processing a captured image of a medium, content on the medium, and a background surrounding the medium are provided. A captured image is processed by 1) improving the visibility of the content by recovering the original appearance of the medium and enhancing the appearance of the content image, 2) removing the background by determining the boundary of the medium, and/or 3) correcting geometric distortion in the content to improve readability. Any of the three processing steps may be used alone or any combination of the three processing steps may be used to process the image. The image processing may operate on the image after it is captured and stored to a memory and may be implemented on an image-capturing device that captures the image. In other embodiments, the image processing is implemented on another device that receives the image from the image-capturing device.
