Low Latency Pyramid Processor For Image Processing Systems

View page
US Patent:
20050265633, Dec 1, 2005
Filed:
May 25, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/136908
Inventors:
Michael Piacentino - Robbinsville NJ, US
Gooitzen Siemen van der Wal - Hopewell NJ, US
Peter Burt - Princeton NJ, US
James Bergen - Hopewell NJ, US
International Classification:
G06K009/36
G06K009/46
G06K009/40
G06K009/32
US Classification:
382302000, 382265000, 382294000, 382240000
Abstract:
A video processor that uses a low latency pyramid processing technique for fusing images from multiple sensors. The imagery from multiple sensors is enhanced, warped into alignment, and then fused with one another in a manner that provides the fusing to occur within a single frame of video, i.e., sub-frame processing. Such sub-frame processing results in a sub-frame delay between a moment of capturing the images to the display of the fused imagery.

Abstract:
A method, apparatus and system for enhanced welding visualization include splitting incoming light from the welding environment into at least a first optical path and a second optical path having different light levels using at least one beam splitter. Images of the split light having different light levels are captured using a respective imaging sensor. The images from the respective imaging sensors are fused to create a left-eye fused image and a right-eye fused image. The left-eye fused image is displayed on a display at a location of a left eye of a user and the right-eye fused image is displayed on a display at a location of a right eye of the user to provide a parallax-free, high dynamic range, representation of the welding environment.

Filed:
Jan 19, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/573325
Inventors:
- Menlo Park CA, US
John Benjamin SOUTHALL - Philadelphia PA, US
Michael Anthony ISNARDI - Plainsboro NJ, US
Michael Raymond PIACENTINO - Robbinsville NJ, US

International Classification:
H04N 5/232
G06K 9/62
G06T 7/11
G06T 5/20
A61B 5/00
Abstract:
Device logic in a mobile device configures a processor to capture a series of images, such as a video, using a consumer-grade camera, and to analyze the images to determine the best-focused image, of the series of images, that captures a region of interest. The images may be of a textured surface, such as facial skin of a mobile device user. The processor sets a focal length of the camera to a fixed position for collecting the images. The processor may guide the user to position the mobile device for capturing the images, using audible cues. For each image, the processor crops the image to the region of interest, extracts luminance information, and determines one or more energy levels of the luminance via a Laplacian pyramid. The energy levels may be filtered, and then are compared to energy levels of the other images to determine the best-focused image.
