| 20100158404 | GENERATING A DILATION IMAGE UTILIZING PARALLEL PIXEL PROCESSING - A dilation image is generated from an original digital image utilizing a processing image (b) and a target image (T), where each pixel in the target image is processed in parallel. The process entails, for each target pixel, i) determining coordinate values for the target pixel, ii) determining a surrounding pixel area for the target pixel, iii) and processing each pixel in the surrounding pixel area to determine whether or not to updated the value of the target pixel. In processing each surrounding pixel, a determination is made whether the pixel has a value of 1. If not, then the next surrounding pixel is processed. If so, then a determination is made which pixel element of the structuring element overlays the target pixel, and whether that pixel has a value of 1. If so, then the value of the target pixel is updated. If not, then the next pixel in the surrounding pixel area is processed. Once the target pixel has been updated one time, the processing of the remaining surrounding pixels is terminates. If processing of all surrounding pixels results in no update to the target pixel, then the target pixel is not updated. After all target pixels have been processed, the resultant image is output as the dilation image. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100177980 | GENERATING AN EROSION IMAGE UTILIZING PARALLEL PIXEL PROCESSING - An erosion image is generated from an original digital image utilizing a processing image (b) and a target image (T), where each pixel in the target image is processed in parallel. The process entails, for each target pixel, i) determining coordinate values for the target pixel, ii) determining a surrounding pixel area for the target pixel, iii) and processing each pixel in the surrounding pixel area to determine whether or not to updated the value of the target pixel. In processing each surrounding pixel, a determination is made whether the pixel has a value of 1. If not, then the next surrounding pixel is processed. If so, then a determination is made which pixel element of a structuring element overlays the target pixel, and whether that SE pixel has a value of 1. If so, then the value of the target pixel is updated. If not, then the next pixel in the surrounding pixel area is processed. Once the target pixel has been updated a set number of times to a predetermined value (e.g., 2), the processing of the remaining surrounding pixels is terminated. After all target pixels have been processed, an output image is obtained by setting target pixels having a value of 2 to a binary value of 1, and setting the other pixels to a binary value of 0. The resultant output image is an erosion image that is then output. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20110052059 | GENERATING IMAGE HISTOGRAM BY PARALLEL PROCESSING - A histogram is generated. An image is input, and a pixel value is assigned to each pixel of the input image. A set of bin indexes is defined, with each bin index representing one or more possible numerical values for a pixel. A parallel sort is applied to the pixel values in order to generate a set of sorted pixel values. A parallel search is applied to the sorted pixel values for each bin index to find the position of the bin index in the sorted pixel values. A number of pixels in a bin corresponding to each bin index is generated, based on the difference between the position of the bin index in the sorted pixel values and the position of a subsequent bin index in the sorted pixel values. The histogram is generated based on the number of pixels in the bins corresponding to each bin index. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110235937 | DIGITAL IMAGE FILTER PROCESSING - Filter processing is performed on an image, in which a filter kernel having coefficients corresponding to positions of pixels is applied at a target pixel position and to sample pixels positioned in the neighborhood of the target pixel position. A bin is assigned to each unique coefficient of the filter kernel. A mask having respective positions corresponding to the positions of the filter kernel is created. Each respective position of the mask indexes to the bin for the coefficient corresponding to that position. The mask is positioned at the target pixel position, and the respective pixel value of each sample pixel is accumulated in the bin corresponding to the position of the sample pixel in the mask. The accumulated pixel values in each respective bin are multiplied by the coefficient corresponding to the bin. The resultant products are summed to determine a filtered pixel value at the target pixel position. | 09-29-2011 |
