20130222652 | COMPENSATING FOR SENSOR SATURATION AND MICROLENS MODULATION DURING LIGHT-FIELD IMAGE PROCESSING - According to various embodiments, the system and method of the present invention process light-field image data so as to reduce color artifacts, reduce projection artifacts, and/or increase dynamic range. These techniques operate, for example, on image data affected by sensor saturation and/or microlens modulation. Flat-field images are captured and converted to modulation images, and then applied on a per-pixel basis, according to techniques described herein. | 08-29-2013 |
20140176592 | CONFIGURING TWO-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE PROCESSING BASED ON LIGHT-FIELD PARAMETERS - According to various embodiments, the present may be used to apply a wide variety of processes to a two-dimensional image generated from light-field data. One or more parameters, such as light-field parameters and/or device capture parameters may be included in metadata of the two-dimensional image, and may be retrieved and processed to determine the appropriate value(s) of a first setting of the process. The process may be applied uniformly, or with variation across subsets of the two-dimensional image, down to individual pixels. The process may be a noise filtering process, an image sharpening process, a color adjustment process, a tone curve process, a contrast adjustment process, a saturation adjustment process, a gamma adjustment process, a combination thereof, or any other known process that may be desirable for enhancing two-dimensional images. | 06-26-2014 |

20090046952 | SUPER-RESOLUTION IN PERIODIC AND APERIODIC PIXEL IMAGING - A super-resolution algorithm that explicitly and exactly models the detector pixel shape, size, location, and gaps for periodic and aperiodic tilings. The algorithm projects the low-resolution input image into high-resolution space to model the actual shapes and/or gaps of the detector pixels. By using an aperiodic pixel layout such as a Penrose tiling significant improvements in super-resolution results can be obtained. An error back-projection super-resolution algorithm makes use of the exact detector model in its back projection operator for better accuracy. Theoretically, the aperiodic detector can be based on CCD (charge-coupled device) technology, and/or more practically, CMOS (complimentary metal oxide semiconductor) technology, for example. | 02-19-2009 |

20110010243 | USER CONTROL OF ADVERTISING CONTENT - A content delivery system that provides advertisements based on user interest. The system includes clients and an advertising platform. At each client, a user may elect the nature of information about user interest to be shared with the advertising platform. In response to such an election, a client device may provide broad user interest category information to an advertising platform or may provide more detailed user interaction information relating to user interaction with the client. In exchange for the user providing more detailed information, the advertising platform can direct more relevant advertising information to the user. The user interaction information collected on the client can accurately predict user interest because it can relate to interactions with multiple web sites, through multiple applications. Other forms of user interactions with the client may also yield information useful for classifying the user or for provision to the advertising platform. | 01-13-2011 |
20110010244 | SPONSORED APPLICATION LAUNCHER SUGGESTIONS - A content delivery system that is based on user interest. The system includes client and server components. At each client, information about user interactions is collected and compared to information defining a set of user interest categories. In this way, the client can determine one or more interest categories in which the user fits. The client can then offer to the user content that is classified in accordance with the same set of user categories. The server can supply the client with the information defining user interest categories and a manifest of content options with associated categories. Additionally, the server can receive indications of when each content offering is presented to a user and when the user selects to acquire a content option. The server may also participate in offering the content. The content may be software applications. | 01-13-2011 |
20110010433 | TARGETED PRESENTATION AND DELIVERY OF THEMES - A content delivery system supplying themes for user computers based on user interest. Each theme may be a collection of components that define an audio, visual or functional aspect of computer operation related to a topic or area of interest, such as sports, a sports team, travel or fine art. The system includes client and server components. At each client, information about user interactions is collected and compared to information defining a set of user interest categories, allowing the client to determine one or more interest categories for the user. The client offers themes that are classified in accordance with the same set of user categories. The server can supply information defining user interest categories and a manifest of themes with associated categories. Additionally, the server can receive indications of when each theme is presented to a user and when the user elects to acquire a theme or engages with theme elements. The server may also supply, unlock or otherwise provide selected themes. | 01-13-2011 |
20110022477 | BEHAVIOR-BASED USER DETECTION - Techniques for observing user operations and recognizing a current user of a computer based on those operations. Characteristics of observed user operations are compared to characteristics of operations performed by known users, such as those users with existing user profiles. The current user may be recognized as a user having a known user profile or a new user, for which information on user interests or other profile information may be stored. The profile of the current user may be used to customize presentation of services according to preferences for the current user. Components that collect information on user interactions may be incorporated in an operating system of the computer so that user interactions with both the operating system and applications that access operating system facilities may be used to recognize a user. Customization of the operating system or other components based on inferred user recognition may improve the user experience. | 01-27-2011 |
