20120307000 | Image Registration Using Sliding Registration Windows - This disclosure pertains to devices, methods, and computer readable media for performing image registration. A few generalized steps may be used to carry out the image registration techniques described herein: 1) acquiring image data from an image sensor; 2) selecting a pair of overlapping image portions from the acquired image data for registration; 3) determining an area of “maximum energy” in one of the image portions being registered; 4) placing an image registration window over both image portions at the determined location of maximum energy; 5) registering the overlapping image portions using only the image data falling within the image registration windows; and 6) determining, according to one or more metrics, whether the image registration window should be shifted from a current location before registering subsequently acquired image portions. | 12-06-2012 |
20140071148 | Applying a Realistic Artistic Texture to Images - Techniques are disclosed to provide user control over the manipulation of a digital image. The disclosed techniques enable a user to apply various textures that mimic traditional artistic media to a selected image. User selection of a texture level results in the blending of texturized versions of the selected image in accordance with the selected texture level. User selection of a color level results in the adjustment of color properties of the selected image that are included in the output image. Control of the image selection, texture type selection, texture level selection, and color level selection may be provided through an intuitive graphical user interface. | 03-13-2014 |

20150113472 | Grain Generation and Blending - A method and system for providing a dynamic grain effect tool for a media-editing application that generates a grain effect and applies the grain effect to a digital image. The application first generates a random pixel field for the image based on a seed value. The application then generates a film grain pattern for the image by consecutively applying a blurring function and an unsharp masking function, based on an ISO value, to the randomly generated pixel field. The application then blends the grain field with the original image by adjusting each pixel based on the value of the corresponding pixel location in the grain field. The application then adjusts the grain amount in the previously generated full-grain image by receiving a grain amount value from a user and applying this value to the full-grain image. | 04-23-2015 |

20130338414 | HYDRODESULFURIZATION, DEOXYGENATION AND DEWAXING PROCESSES WITH WATER STABLE CATALYSTS FOR BIOMASS-CONTAINING HYDROCARBON FEEDSTOCKS - This invention relates to a method for hydroprocessing feedstreams containing both sulfur-containing mineral oils and biomass-derived feedstocks in a single reactor configuration. The process produces a desulfurized, deoxygenated and dewaxed hydrocarbon product having reduced oxygen content, increased iso-paraffin content, low n-paraffin content, and good cold flow properties. In preferred embodiments, the processes herein utilize water tolerant hydrodewaxing catalysts in order to prevent deactivation and/or catalyst loss due to water produced during the deoxygenation reactions in the biomass components. | 12-19-2013 |
20140179976 | CoMo AND NiMo CATALYST STACKING FOR RENEWABLE DIESEL - Methods are provided herein for co-processing of biocomponent feeds as well processing of mineral feeds in a reaction system at hydrogen partial pressures of about 500 psig (3.4 MPag) or less. The methods include using stacked beds of both CoMo and NiMo catalysts. The stacked catalyst beds provided unexpectedly high catalyst activity as the input feed to a reaction system was switched between a mineral feed and a feed containing both mineral and biocomponent portions. Additionally, use of stacked catalyst beds can allow for maintenance of the activity for the catalyst system in a reaction system while still achieving a desired activity for both types of feeds. | 06-26-2014 |
