Apparatus And Method For Reducing Noise In An Image
View pageUS Patent:
7706624, Apr 27, 2010
Filed:
Aug 4, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/567050
Inventors:
Todd Martin Beazley - Portland OR, US
Assignee:
Thomson Licensing - Boulogne Billancourt
International Classification:
G06K 9/40
US Classification:
382260, 382266, 382274, 348607, 358463, 358471
Abstract:
An image processor includes a Lee filter for processing image data to improve noise therefrom. The Lee filter includes a smoothing control signal. During filtering of the image data, the smoothing control signal is converted to a monochrome video signal that is provided to a display instead of, or in addition to, the filtered image data. The image projected by the display of the smoothing control signal highlights edge activity in the filtered image. This display of edge activity makes it easier to locate noisy areas in the image data and fine-tune the amount of filtering to further reduce noise present in the image data and yet leave the desired image details alone.
Efficient Test Generator For Video Test Patterns
View pageUS Patent:
20090096872, Apr 16, 2009
Filed:
Mar 29, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/990533
Inventors:
Todd Martin Beazley - Portland OR, US
International Classification:
H04N 17/00
US Classification:
348177, 348E17006
Abstract:
A video test pattern generator and method include a control sequencer configured to control one or more address counters to generate a video test pattern. A first memory is configured to store pixel values for transitions between portions of the video test pattern and configured to store a repeated pixel value. A second memory is configured to store pattern information to determine placement of the pixel values for the transitions and the repeated pixel values. A repeat counter is configured to control a number of the repeated pixel values produced before a next transition.
Method And Apparatus For Detection Of Non-Linear Electrical Devices
View pageUS Patent:
45477248, Oct 15, 1985
Filed:
Feb 7, 1983
Appl. No.:
6/464796
Inventors:
Todd M. Beazley - Aloha OR
Calvin D. Diller - Beaverton OR
Calvin D. Diller - Beaverton OR
Assignee:
Tektronix, Inc. - Beaverton OR
International Classification:
G01R 2700
US Classification:
324 57R
Abstract:
The present invention provides a system for applying a fixed level D. C. voltage and a square wave signal sequentially to a voltage divider including a resistor of a known impedance and the device under test. The square wave ranges from a value which is substantially equal to the ground level to a level that is substantially twice the nominal value of the fixed D. C. level, thus the average value of the square wave signal is substantially equal to the nominal value of the fixed level D. C. voltage. With each of these signals applied on at a time to the voltage divider, the voltage across the device under test is applied to a voltage detector via a low pass filter. The output of the low pass filter for each applied voltage signal is the average of the voltage signal which appears across the device under test. The value of these average voltages are stored and then compared. If the average values are substantially equal, then the device under test is linear, and knowing the average voltage value, the nominal voltage value, and value of the known resistor, the resistance value of the device under test can be calculated.
Method For Increasing The Resolution Of Measurements Taken Using A Counter-Timer
View pageUS Patent:
49721399, Nov 20, 1990
Filed:
May 12, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/350981
Inventors:
Todd M. Beazley - Aloha OR
Assignee:
Tektronix, Inc. - Beaverton OR
International Classification:
G01R 2302
US Classification:
324 78R
Abstract:
A method for increasing the resolution of measurements taken using a counter-timer is provided that includes the steps of selecting a magnifier value and displaying the selected magnifier value on a CRT screen, performing a trial measurement with the counter-timer set at a fixed gate time and displaying the trial measurement result, calculating a new gate time from the magnifier value and trail measurement results, displaying the new gate time, and performing a second measurement with the counter-timer set to the new gate time and displaying the second measurement result.
