394 results about "Hybrid image" patented technology

A hybrid image is an image that is perceived in one of two different ways, depending on viewing distance, based on the way humans process visual input. A technique for creating hybrid images exhibiting this optical illusion was developed by Aude Oliva of MIT and Philippe G. Schyns of University of Glasgow, a method originally proposed by Schyns and Oliva in 1994. Hybrid images combine the low spatial frequencies of one picture with the high spatial frequencies of another picture, producing an image with an interpretation that changes with viewing distance.

Target orientation estimation using depth sensing

A system for estimating orientation of a target based on real-time video data uses depth data included in the video to determine the estimated orientation. The system includes a time-of-flight camera capable of depth sensing within a depth window. The camera outputs hybrid image data (color and depth). Segmentation is performed to determine the location of the target within the image. Tracking is used to follow the target location from frame to frame. During a training mode, a target-specific training image set is collected with a corresponding orientation associated with each frame. During an estimation mode, a classifier compares new images with the stored training set to determine an estimated orientation. A motion estimation approach uses an accumulated rotation / translation parameter calculation based on optical flow and depth constrains. The parameters are reset to a reference value each time the image corresponds to a dominant orientation.

Method and Apparatus For Hybrid Image Compression

A Hybrid Compressor (304) and method (500) of compressing a tile (2200) of pixels within an image are disclosed. An Edge Processor (404) of the Hybrid Compressor (304) analyses pixel runs (403) of the tile (2200) and generates boundary data defining one or more regions comprising pixels of substantially identical colour. A Palette Processor (411) of the Hybrid Compressor (304) generates data defining a colour value for each region. An Image Processor (416) of the Hybrid Compressor (304) generates a representation of pixels not included in the one or more regions.

Image processor

An image processor includes a memory that stores image layers, α-layers associated with the image layers, and pointers linking image areas of the image layers with the α-layer. A method for blending multiple image layers includes obtaining a transparency value for an image area by reading a pointer associated with the image area and blending the image layers using the obtained transparency value.

Device and Method of Downscaling and Blending Two High Resolution Images

The present invention relates to the field of downscaling and blending of two high resolution images, and particularly to a device and a method allowing for downscaling and blending of a HD JPEG background image and a HD bitmap image, which is overlaid on the JPEG background image. The device comprises means for downscaling the background image by a pre-determined factor n1, n2, . . . nN; means for uncompressing the downscaled background image and the high-resolution bitmap image; means for dividing the uncompressed high-resolution bitmap image into blocks of n1×n2× . . . ×nN pixels, whereby the size of each block correspond to the size of each pixel of the downscaled background image; and, means (16) for blending each of the blocks of the uncompressed high-resolution bitmap image with each of the pixels of the downscaled background image and thus producing a blended image.

Hybrid image processing system

The present invention provides a hybrid image processing system, which generally includes an image processing unit for receiving image data corresponding to a set of images, generating commands for processing the image data, and sending the images and the commands to an image processing unit of the hybrid image processing system. Upon receipt, the image processing unit will recognize and interpret the commands, assign and / or schedule tasks for processing the image data to a set of (e.g., special) processing engines based on the commands, and return results and / or processed image data to the image interface unit.
