20130093949 | MODE BASED FILM MODE DETECTION - In general, in one aspect, the frames of a received video are analyzed using traditional film mode detection (continually capturing data and comparing the data to known parameters for various film modes) until a film mode is detected. Once the film mode is detected, the frames of the received video are analyzed using mode based tracking where measurements are continually predicted based on the mode detected and averaged with actual measurements. The use of the averaged measurements limit the effect of noise captured in the actual measurements. The averaged measurements are continually compared to known parameters for the detected mode to determine if the detected mode is still valid. If the detected mode is valid, the mode based tacking is continued. If the detected mode is no longer valid (e.g., averaged measurements not correlated with known parameters), the process returns to the traditional film mode detection. | 2013-04-18 |

20130093957 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMPRESSIVE ACQUISITION AND RECOVERY OF DYNAMIC IMAGERY - A new framework for video compressed sensing models the evolution of the image frames of a video sequence as a linear dynamical system (LDS). This reduces the video recovery problem to first estimating the model parameters of the LDS from compressive measurements, from which the image frames are then reconstructed. We exploit the low-dimensional dynamic parameters (state sequence) and high-dimensional static parameters (observation matrix) of the LDS to devise a novel compressive measurement strategy that measures only the dynamic part of the scene at each instant and accumulates measurements over time to estimate the static parameters. This enables us to lower the compressive measurement rate considerably yet obtain video recovery at a high frame rate that is in fact inversely proportional to the length of the video sequence. This property makes our framework well-suited for high-speed video capture and other applications. We validate our approach with a range of experiments including classification experiments that highlight the purposive nature of our framework. | 2013-04-18 |
