Video motion compensation and stabilization gimbaled imaging system

A system and method for compensating for image distortions formed by the motion of a computerized camera system mounted on a moving platform. The camera system includes a camera, wherein the camera acquires a plurality of image frames including images of the environment viewed from within the field of view of the camera. The distortion is formed in the acquired image frame, during and in between image acquisitions. During the image acquisition the camera may be maneuvered in space, typically, in the pan and tilt axis. The method includes the steps of providing camera maneuvering signals, providing sensors for detecting other motions of the camera, computing the pre acquisition aggregated motion vector of the camera, thereby determining the pre acquisition image distortion, and compensating for the determined pre acquisition image distortion by an equivalent vector, in a direction opposite to the direction of the pre acquisition aggregated motion vector.

High performance embedded semiconductor memory devices with multiple dimension first-level bit-lines

A dynamic random access memory solves long-existing tight pitch layout problems using a multiple-dimensional bit line structure. Improvement in decoder design further reduces total area of this memory. A novel memory access procedure provides the capability to make internal memory refresh completely invisible to external users. By use of such memory architecture, higher performance DRAM can be realized without degrading memory density. The requirements for system support are also simplified significantly.

Ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, ultrasonic image processing apparatus and ultrasonic image processing method

Plural strain gauges which are folded lines defined by gauge end points and gauge middle points are set up every time phase using motion vector information of a tissue and a strain gauge image in which the strain gauges are overlapped at a corresponding position of an ultrasonic image at each time phase is generated and displayed. A rotation angle from a reference time phase is calculated, rotational difference information between the gauge end points is generated and displayed in a predetermined form for the respective gauge end points (and the gauge middle points if necessary). Accordingly, for example, by setting the gauge end points in an inner membrane and an outer membrane of a cardiac muscle and setting the gauge middle points in an intermediate membrane, quantitative information is generated such as the rotational difference between the inner and outer membranes in local regions of the cardiac muscle or in the global cardiac muscle or the rotational difference of the inner membrane and the outer membrane relative to the intermediate membrane.
