20080240203 | Method of and apparatus for analyzing noise in a signal processing system - A fast accurate multi-channel frequency dependent scheme for analyzing noise in a signal processing system is described herein. Noise is decomposed within each channel into frequency bands and sub-band noise is propagated. To avoid the computational complexity of a convolution, traditional methods either assume the noise to be white, at any point in the signal processing pipeline, or they just ignore spatial operations. By assuming the noise to be white within each frequency band, it is possible to propagate any type of noise (white, colored, Gaussian, non-Gaussian and others) across a spatial transformation in a very fast and accurate manner. To demonstrate the efficacy of this technique, noise propagation is considered across various spatial operations in an image processing pipeline. Furthermore, the computational complexity is a very small fraction of the computational cost of propagating an image through a signal processing system. | 10-02-2008 |
20080309767 | Sequential regression for calibration from residues - A system for and method of calibrating an imaging device efficiently is described herein.

The information is then used to generate a set of data which represents information which was not acquired in the image. The set of data is generated based on statistical prediction using a training data set. Using acquired image information and the set of data, an imaging device is able to be calibrated. Since the process of calibration utilizing this method only requires one image to be acquired and a reduced set of image information to be sent to the computing device, the process is more efficient than previous implementations. | 12-18-2008 |

Then, using the training data set, regression coefficients are generated. A camera to be calibrated then acquires only one set of image information such as a single picture. Then, using the regression coefficients and the acquired information, the calibration parameters are directly estimated for that camera. | 12-18-2008 |

After thresholding, an inverse procedure is applied to reconstruct the pixel values on the incomplete color pixel matrices. For further de-correlation of image data, the image processor may stack similar image patches in a three dimensional (3D) array and apply incomplete-data wavelet thresholding on the 3D array. The incomplete-data wavelet thresholding procedure may be put in an improved local similarity measurement framework to achieve better performance of image processing tasks. A CPU device typically controls the image processor to effectively perform the image processing procedure. | 10-04-2012 |
20140267432 | METHOD TO SELECT APPROPRIATE WINDOW SIZE FOR LOCAL IMAGE PROCESSING - A method to select an appropriate window size for local image processing uses two window sizes: a very large but impractical size and a small and practical size. Two images are generated for the desired image processing under both window sizes. The difference of these two images eliminates common non-linear nature of the local image processing and only contains low-frequency artifacts generated under a smaller window size. By taking the Fourier transform of the difference image, an approximated noise spectrum of low-frequency artifacts introduced by the small and practical window size is able to be observed. Alternatively, a frequency analysis of the smaller window size is able to be conducted by calculating the difference of cross-correlation functions and noise spectra under the same two window sizes. An appropriate window size is able to be selected based on such frequency analysis. | 09-18-2014 |

20110201062 | BACTERIUM CAPABLE OF PRODUCING L-AMINO ACID AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING L-AMINO ACID - A bacterium is described which belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family, and has an ability to produce an L-amino acid, such as L-glutamic acid, L-arginine and L-threonine. The bacterium is modified so that the activity of a protein encoded by ydcl gene is decreased, thereby producing and accumulating the L-amino acid selected from L-glutamic acid, L-arginine, and L-threonine in the culture medium or cells of the bacterium when cultured in a culture medium. Subsequently, the L-amino acid is collected from the culture medium or the bacterium. | 08-18-2011 |

20110228165 | SYNCHRONOUS SIGNAL CONVERSION CIRCUIT, SIGNAL PROCESSING SYSTEM INCLUDING IT, AND SYNCHRONOUS SIGNAL CONVERSION METHOD - A synchronous signal conversion circuit converts a first synchronous signal, which is transmitted with a data signal, to a second synchronous signal conforming to a predetermined standard. In the synchronous signal conversion circuit, a transition detection circuit detects transition of the first synchronous signal. A synchronous signal generation circuit generates a second synchronous signal in response to a detection result by the transition detection circuit. An output timing control circuit delays the second synchronous signal generated by the synchronous signal generation circuit so that the second synchronous signal synchronizes with the data signal. | 09-22-2011 |

20110255001 | VIDEO SIGNAL PROCESSING DEVICE, VIDEO SIGNAL PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND VIDEO SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD - In a video signal processing device, a host CPU sets a number of parameters for a memory table at its low-load timing such as during power-up. The host CPU then enables the function of an automatic setting controller. Being notified of start of automatic setting, the automatic setting controller reads plural clock setting parameters from the memory table, and performs clock setting in a clock generation section while waiting for stabilization of PLL oscillation. The automatic setting control section then reads plural signal processing parameters from the memory table and sets the parameters in a video signal processing section. Thus, in operation of the video signal processing section and the clock generation section according to the format of the input video signal, it is possible to set a number of setting parameters in these sections while reducing the load of the host CPU, shortening the image output time. | 10-20-2011 |
20120013709 | VIDEO SIGNAL PROCESSING DEVICE, VIDEO PROCESSING SYSTEM, SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, AND VIDEO SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD - In a video signal processing circuit, when a 2D video signal is transferred in a 3D transfer format from a video signal source, a one side mute control section provided in an input video control section determines whether the 2D video signal is on the L side or on the R side of the 3D transfer format. During a period of the one side (e.g., the L side) that is not used by the 2D video signal, the one side mute control section replaces data loaded on the one side in the video signal source with fixed data, and sends it through an input video control section, a color space changing section and a packet loading section in this order. This stops these three circuit sections from operating unnecessarily, thereby reducing the power consumption. | 01-19-2012 |
20130028337 | VIDEO PROCESSOR - A video processor receives original video data, an original synchronization signal, and an original data valid region signal from a video signal source, supplements insufficient part of the original video data relative to a predetermined valid pixel region, and outputs new video data having the predetermined valid pixel region and a new data valid region signal indicating the predetermined valid pixel region. The video processor includes a valid position regeneration controller delaying at least one of the original video data or the original synchronization signal to match positions of color-difference signals in the original video data to positions of color-difference signals in the new video data in determining based on the original synchronization signal and the original data valid region signal that the color-difference signals in the new video data are displayed while being replaced with each other; and a controller controlling operation of the valid position regeneration controller. | 01-31-2013 |
