| 20090073292 | METHOD FOR ACQUIRING A DIGITAL IMAGE WITH A LARGE DYNAMIC RANGE WITH A SENSOR OF LESSER DYNAMIC RANGE - A method is provided for obtaining an image with a large dynamic range. An image is acquired such that each image pixel is represented by a plurality of values obtained at the same time but for different integration levels (effective exposures). For each pixel, a representative value is selected among those available, such that it is neither saturated nor blackened. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20100097491 | Compound camera sensor and related method of processing digital images - In one embodiment, a light sensor includes four cell arrays, one for each color of the Bayer pattern, and four lenses each focusing the light coming from the scene to be captured on a respective cell array. The lenses are oriented such that at least a second green image, commonly provided by the fourth cell array, is both horizontally and vertically shifted (spaced) apart by half a pixel pitch from a first (reference) green image. In a second embodiment, the four lenses are oriented such that the red and blue images are respectively shifted (spaced) apart by half a pixel pitch from the first or reference green image, one horizontally and the other vertically, and the second green image is shifted (spaced) apart by half a pixel pitch from the reference green image both horizontally and vertically. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100165122 | Method of merging images and relative method of generating an output image of enhanced quality - A method of processing and device configure to process digital images to enhance image quality and correct motion blur. A number N of images of a scene are captured with an exposure time T. An order of sharpness of the images is determined and the sharpest image is used as a reference image for generating an output image. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100166300 | Method of generating motion vectors of images of a video sequence - A digital image processing system and method for removing motion effects from images of a video sequence, and generating corresponding motion compensated images. | 07-01-2010 |
