20100238342 | Method, an apparatus and a computer readable storage medium for controlling an assist light during image capturing process - Digital photographing devices traditionally comprise an assist light that illuminates the object being photographed in low light conditions The solution concerns a method comprising exposing an image frame comprising a window of interest; performing an autofocus for the window of interest; and controlling an assist light for the autofocus according to an exposure of the window of interest. The solutions is also targeted to an apparatus and a computer-readable storage means. | 09-23-2010 |
20100278452 | Removal of Artifacts in Flash Images - The present invention relates to a method, a computer-readable medium, a computer program and apparatuses for removal of artifacts in flash images. Image data of a reference image captured using a first level of flash energy and image data of a main image captured using a second level of flash energy that is higher than said first level of flash energy is received. Image data of a third image is then determined based on said image data of said reference image and said image data of said main image, wherein said third image is a representation of said main image with removed artifacts. | 11-04-2010 |
20130216092 | Image Capture - An apparatus including a processor configured to move automatically a sub-set of pixels defining a target captured image within a larger set of available pixels in a direction of an edge of the target captured image when a defined area of interest within the target captured image approaches the edge of the target captured image and configured to provide a pre-emptive user output when the sub-set of pixels approaches an edge of the set of available pixels. | 08-22-2013 |
20140112589 | ENCODER, DECODER AND METHOD - An encoder encodes input data to generate corresponding encoded output data. The encoder includes an analysis unit for analysing a portion of the input data and directing the portion to appropriate encoding unit(s), wherein the encoding unit(s) are operable to encode the portion thereat to generate the encoded output data. At least one of the encoding units is operable to compute an average value of data values present in each portion received thereat, to subdivide the data values into at least two sets, to compute average values of the data values in each set, and for each set to allocate the average value for that set to all data values in that set, whilst retaining a spatial mask of the portion, and wherein the spatial mask and information representative of the average values computed for the at least two data sets is included in the encoded output data. | 04-24-2014 |
20140140359 | ENCODER AND METHOD - An encoder includes data processing hardware which is operable: to divide input data into a plurality of blocks or packets; to apply a plurality of transformations to content of the blocks or packets to generate corresponding transformed data; to check a quality of representation of the transformed data prior to application of the transformations to determine whether or not the quality of representation of the transformed data satisfies one or more quality criteria; if the quality of representation of the transformed data does not satisfy the one or more quality criteria, to sub-divide and/or to combine the one or more blocks or packets further and repeating the transformation step; and if the quality of representation of the transformed data satisfies the one or more quality criteria, to output the transformed data to provide encoded output data representative of the input data to be encoded. | 05-22-2014 |
20140161195 | VIDEO GENERATOR - USE OF DATABASE FOR VIDEO, IMAGE, GRAPHICS AND AUDIO - A method of encoding source data to generate corresponding encoding data for transmission or storage is provided, wherein the method includes:

20140247168 | ENCODER, DECODER AND METHOD - There is provided an encoder and decoder for encoding and decoding input data (D1, D2 or D3) to generate corresponding encoded output data (D2 or D3, D5). The encoder includes a data processing arrangement, optionally for analyzing a range of values present in the input data (D1) to determine at least one pre- and/or post-pedestal value, optionally to translate the input data (D1) using the at least one pre- and/or post-pedestal value to generate translated data, and then to apply a form of ODelta coding to the data, optionally translated data, to generate processed data, and to combine the processed data and optionally the at least one pre- and/or post-pedestal value for generating the encoded output data (D2 or D3). The decoder includes a data processing arrangement for processing the encoded data (D2 or D3), optionally to extract therefrom at least one pre- and/or post-pedestal value. | 09-04-2014 |
20140369563 | Image Control Method for Defining Images for Waypoints Along a Trajectory - A method including: displaying on a display a reference image; displaying on the display a start position within the reference image; displaying on the display an end position within the reference image; determining a trajectory between the start position and the end position; and defining a target image for each of a plurality of waypoints along the determined trajectory. | 12-18-2014 |
