| 20100208943 | PERSPECTIVE IMPROVEMENT FOR IMAGE AND VIDEO APPLICATIONS - A system and method for reducing distance-based distortion in a camera image of an object, where the distanced-based distortion is due to differences in distance from the camera to different parts of the object. In one approach, the distortion is reduced by estimating distances to different parts of the object and then generating a reprojected image of the object dependent upon the estimated distances and upon a virtual viewpoint that is more distant than the camera from the object. In a further approach, the image is warped such that points in the image match corresponding points in one or more stored templates. In a still further approach, if excessive distortion is present in the image, the camera zoom is increased and a magnified image is displayed, prompting a person to move farther from the camera thereby reducing the distortion. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20110141321 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSFORMING A LENS-DISTORTED IMAGE TO A PERSPECTIVE IMAGE IN BAYER SPACE - A method and apparatus is provided for rendering an image. The method includes capturing a distorted input image using a color filter array to obtain an input image pattern having a single color channel per pixel. The input image is transformed to an input image signal. At least a portion of the input image signal is dewarped to obtain an undistorted image signal by (i) identifying selected coordinate points in the input signal that correspond to coordinate points in the undistorted image signal and (ii) determining a first color channel value for at least one of the selected coordinate points with a color correlation-adjusted interpolation technique using at least one nearest neighbor pixel having a color channel different from the first color channel. | 06-16-2011 |
