    摘要: A method of creating an image representative of a measured dataset by iteratively updating a base image includes: generating a principal dataset from the measured dataset, the principal dataset having noise at substantially the same level as the measured dataset; generating an additional dataset from the measured dataset such that the additional dataset has noise at substantially the same level as the measured dataset and is not identical to the principal dataset; processing the base image without noise compensation using the principal dataset and additional dataset to obtain a principal interim image and an additional interim image; comparing the principal and the additional interim image to determine an indication of a noise level present; and using the determined indication of noise present to select noise compensation to apply when processing the base image using the measured dataset to create a new base image representative of the measured dataset.

    摘要: Banding effects in an image or video are assessed. The image or each frame of a video is decomposed into luminance or color channels. Signal activity is computed at each spatial location in each channel. A significance of the signal activity at each spatial location is determined by comparing each element of the signal activity with a significance threshold. Banding pixels are detected as those pixels of the image or frame having significant signal activity at their respective spatial locations and having non-significant signal activity of at least a minimum threshold percentage of neighboring pixels to the respective spatial locations.

    摘要: A method of increasing temporal resolution: a) provides an original video having a given spatial resolution; b) compresses a first frame of said original video using any image compression method; and c) repeatedly compresses a next frame of said original video using the steps of: i. providing a current video comprising the already compressed video frames, said current video having an initial spatial resolution; ii. repeatedly reducing the spatial resolution of said current video and the spatial resolution of said next frame of the original video, to produce a lowest level spatial resolution current video and a lowest level spatial resolution next frame of the original video; and iii. compressing said lowest level spatial resolution next frame of the original video to produce a lowest level compressed next frame.

    摘要: A method includes obtaining a first image of a to-be-photographed object based on an input received by way of a user interface, the first image being obtained using a terminal having a lens in a first position. The method also includes detecting a moiré pattern on the first image. The method further includes automatically moving the lens from the first position to a second position on a plane perpendicular to an optical axis of the lens. The method additionally includes obtaining at least one second image of the to-be-photographed object one or more of with the lens in the second position or between the first position and the second position. The method also includes restoring a detected moiré pattern region of the first image based on the at least one second image to generate a restored image. The method further includes outputting the restored image to a display.

    摘要: An image processing device includes: a frame memory that saves a cyclic image of an immediately preceding frame as a reference image; and a processor comprising hardware. The processor is configured to: decompose an input image into a plurality of resolution images; set, as a base image, an image having a lower resolution than the input image among the plurality of resolution images and that detects a motion vector between the base image and the reference image; subject the reference image to motion compensation on the basis of the motion vector to generate a motion-compensated image; combine the base image with the motion-compensated image to generate a noise-reduced base image that serves as a new cyclic image; and combine the noise-reduced base image with the resolution image or resolution images other than the base image among the plurality of resolution images.

    摘要: A pixel array uses two sets of pixels to provide accurate exposure control. One set of pixels provide continuous output signals for automatic light control (ALC) as the other set integrates and captures an image. ALC pixels allow monitoring of multiple pixels of an array to obtain sample data indicating the amount of light reaching the array, while allowing the other pixels to provide proper image data. A small percentage of the pixels in an array is replaced with ALC pixels and the array has two reset lines for each row; one line controls the reset for the image capture pixels while the other line controls the reset for the ALC pixels. In the columns, at least one extra control signal is used for the sampling of the reset level for the ALC pixels, which happens later than the sampling of the reset level for the image capture pixels.
