20090044805 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PRESSURE THERAPY IN THE TREATMENT OF SLEEP DISORDERED BREATHING - A controller or processor for a respiratory pressure treatment device determines an estimate of patient respiratory flow based on a measure of pressure associated with flow generated by a flow generator and a measure of frequency of the flow generator, such as a rotational velocity of a servo-controlled blower motor. The estimate can be made without data from a flow sensor. The measure of frequency may be converted to an expected pressure based on characteristics of the flow generator and subtracted from the measured pressure to determine the flow estimate. The flow estimate can be implemented in the provision of respiratory pressure treatment with the flow generator. For example, the flow estimate may be utilized to trigger expiratory pressure relief during a patient's expiration as detected with the estimated flow signal. | 02-19-2009 |

20120212594 | Object Tracking for Artificial Vision - This invention concerns the tracking of objects in video data for artificial vision; for instance for a bionic eye. More particularly, the invention concerns a vision enhancement apparatus for a vision-impaired user. In other aspects, the invention concerns a method for enhancing vision and software to perform the method. The image processor operates to process video data representing images of a scene. Automatically detect and track a user selected object, such as a face, in the images. And, automatically modify the video data, by reserving a user selected area of the displayed images for displaying the tracked object as a separate video tile within the scene. The separate video tile remains in the selected area despite movement of the camera relative to the scene, or movement of the user relative to the object or the scene. | 08-23-2012 |
20150146997 | REDUCING THE DYNAMIC RANGE OF IMAGE DATA - This disclosure concerns the determination of low dynamic range image data from high dynamic range image data. A processor determines the low dynamic range image data by optimising a degree to which the low dynamic range image data satisfies a local contrast constraint and a global consistency constraint. The local contrast constraint is based on a local contrast in a perception space while the global consistency constraint is based on a relationship between points in the high dynamic range image data. The determined low dynamic range image data preserves the local contrast from the high dynamic range image data while also preserving the relationship between points in the high dynamic range image data to a high degree. As a result, the method prevents contrast distortion, halos and artifacts and ordering of level lines (isocontours) is preserved. | 05-28-2015 |
