Method and apparatus for performing touch-based adjustments within imaging devices

A camera and method which selectively applies image content adjustments to elements contained in the image material. By way of example, the method involves registration of user touch screen input and determination of the arbitrary extent of a specific element in the captured image material at the location at which touch input was registered. Once selected, the element can be highlighted on the display, and additional user input may be optionally input to control what type of adjustment is to be applied. Then the element within the captured image material is processed to apply automatic, or user-selected, adjustments to the content of said element in relation to the remainder of the captured image. The adjustments to the image element may comprise any conventional forms of image editing, such as saturation, white balance, exposure, sizing, noise reduction, sharpening, blurring, deleting and so forth.

Delay cache method and apparatus

Delayed caching receives an evaluation interval to delay updating the objects stored in a delayed cache, delays a time period corresponding to the evaluation interval, and updates the objects stored in the contents of the delayed cache when the time period delay has completed. The configuration operation for the delayed cache selects a time interval to sample a trace having object access frequencies for objects stored in a cache, creates a first working set of objects accessed during the time interval and a second working set of objects accessed during a subsequent time interval based on the historical trace, determines that the difference between the objects contained in the first and second working sets does not exceed a maximum threshold with the selected time interval, and sets a evaluation interval for evaluating the contents of the cache to the selected time interval.

Real time binarization of gray images

A binarization method for gray address images which combines high quality and high speed. The method is designed specifically for efficient software implementation. Two binarization approaches, localized background thresholds and Laplacian edge enhancement, are combined into a process to enhance the strengths of the two methods and eliminate their weaknesses. The image is divided into tiles, making binarization decisions for each tile. Tile decisions are modified based on adjacent tile decisions and then the tiles are binarized. Binarization of pixels is performed by performing background thresholding and edge detection thresholding. Only pixels exceeding both thresholds are selected as "on".

Approach for optimizing restores of deduplicated data

Various techniques for improving the performance of restoring deduplicated data files from a server to a client within a storage management system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a chunk index is maintained on the client that tracks the chunks remaining on the client for each data file that is stored to and restored from the storage server. When a specific file is selected for restore from the storage server to the client, the client determines if any local copies of this specific file's chunks are stored in files already existing on the client data store. The file is then reconstructed from a combination of these local copies of the file chunks and chunks retrieved from the storage server. Therefore, only chunks that are not stored or are inaccessible to the client are retrieved from the server, reducing server-side processing requirements and the bandwidth required for data restore operations.

Digital camera device and methodology for distributed processing and wireless transmission of digital images

A digital imaging system is described that provides techniques for reducing the amount of processing power required by a given digital camera device and for reducing the bandwidth required for transmitting image information to a target platform. The system defers and / or distributes the processing between the digital imager (i.e., digital camera itself) and the target platform that the digital imager will ultimately be connected to. In this manner, the system is able to decrease the actual computation that occurs at the digital imager. Instead, the system only performs a partial computation at the digital imager device and completes the computation somewhere else, such as at a target computing device (e.g., desktop computer) where time and size are not an issue (relative to the imager). By deferring resource-intensive computations, the present invention substantially reduces the processor requirements and concomitant battery requirements for digital cameras. Further, by adopting an image strategy optimized for compression (compressed luminosity record), the present invention decreases the bandwidth requirements for transmitting images, thereby facilitating the wireless transmission of digital camera images.

Time domain equalization using frequency domain operations

An equalizer for a multi carrier transmission system, converts a transmitted multi carrier signal into sampled frequency domain signals, and suppresses time domain delay dispersion, on the sampled frequency domain signals. It exploits circulant decomposition of a Toeplitz matrix to enable the computationally heavy evaluation of a matrix multiplied by a vector, to be avoided. Increased precision arises from the frequency domain processing being equivalent to a longer time domain FIR filter than is normally practical. The amount of compensation for different carriers can be adjusted, which can lead to increased precision.

Image generation from plurality of images

When synthesizing a plurality of images that partially overlap one another to derive a larger image, the target larger image can be derived with less processing. First, a plurality of first images mutually including portions recording the same given subject are prepared (S2). Next, each first image is subjected to resolution conversion, to generate a second image with lower pixel density (S4). Then, based on portions recording the same subject, relative positions of the second images are calculated (S6). After that, an image generation area is determined, within a composite area which is the sum of areas recorded by the second images (S8). Then, first partial images, which are portions of the second images included in the image generation area, are determined (S10). After that, second partial images, which are part of the first images and correspond to the first partial images, are determined (S12). Finally, third images are generated based on the second partial images (S14).

Buffer management technique for a hypertransport data path protocol

A buffer-management technique efficiently manages a set of data buffers accessible to first and second devices interconnected by a split transaction bus, such as a Hyper-Transport (HPT) bus. To that end, a buffer manager controls access to a set of “free” buffer descriptors, each free buffer descriptor referencing a corresponding buffer in the set of data buffers. Advantageously, the buffer manager ensures that the first and second devices are allocated a sufficient number of free buffer descriptors for use in a HPT data path protocol in which the first and second devices have access to respective sets of free buffer descriptors. Because buffer management over the HPT bus is optimized by the buffer manager, the amount of processing bandwidth traditionally consumed managing descriptors can be reduced.
