20120098985 | METHOD TO INCREASE THE ACCURACY OF PHASE CORRELATION MOTION ESTIMATION IN LOW-BIT-PRECISION CIRCUMSTANCES - A method and system to improve the performance of phase correlation motion estimation for low-bit-precision implementation are described herein. Phase correlation uses the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) with operations with infinite-precision constants. Since physical implementations use finite-precision arithmetic, there is some loss in precision relative to the ideal infinite-precision case. In low-complexity implementations, it is desirable to use as few bits as possible, and if the precision is too low, the performance of traditional phase correlation suffers. A pre-processing technique is applied to the data prior to taking the FFT, which minimizes the negative effects of finite precision in the FFT and allows high quality results from phase correlation. The pre-processing step is a content-dependent contrast adjustment that maps the range of the input images' pixel values to the range of input values for the FFT. There is no post-processing required after the FFT to compensate for the pre-processing step. | 04-26-2012 |
20120098986 | METHOD TO IMPROVE ACCURACY AND RELIABILITY OF MOTION ESTIMATED WITH PHASE CORRELATION - A method of improving accuracy and reliability of motion estimation is described herein.

In another aspect, estimation of reliability is improved. In yet another aspect, two-pass phase correlation is implemented to eliminate sub-pel motion bias. | 04-26-2012 |
20120099651 | METHOD TO IMPROVE DETECTION OF MOTION WITH PHASE CORRELATION - Phase correlation is an established method for computing motion which relies on the ability to find peaks in a computed phase correlation surface. Two methods to improve the ability to detect peaks in the phase correlation surface are described herein. The first method applies a theoretically-derived and spatially-varying gain to the phase correlation surface. The gain compensates for peaks whose amplitudes have been decreased due to windowing effects; such effects are unavoidable in phase correlation. The second method uses concepts from matched filters to improve detection of peaks whose amplitudes are diminished due to a spreading of the peak energy into surrounding positions in the phase correlation surface. Peak detection filters allow such low-amplitude peaks to be properly detected. It is possible to use only the first method, or only the second method or both methods combined. | 04-26-2012 |

A vegetable oil-origin epoxy resin and a plant-origin polyphenol are mixed and the obtained mixture is subjected to a heat treatment, with which a liquid epoxy resin composition which is a compatibilized blend of the vegetable oil-origin epoxy resin and the plant-origin polyphenol is provided. To this liquid epoxy resin composition, coal ash and a silane coupling agent are added followed by mixing. Further, an additive such as a curing accelerator is added thereto, followed by a heat treatment, thereby obtaining an insulating polymer material composition. As the coal ash, it is preferable to use fly ash. It is also preferable to use a silane coupling agent having epoxy group. | 01-03-2013 |

20120194593 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INK SUPPLY AMOUNT/REGISTRATION ADJUSTMENT IN PRINTING PRESS - This invention discloses an apparatus for controlling ink supply amount/registration adjustment in a printing press. The apparatus includes a base, sensor head, sensor head moving unit, first detector, second detector, and control unit. The sensor head moving unit includes a upward/downward position adjusting unit which adjusts the upward/downward position of the sensor head. The second detector detects the upward/downward position of a color bar when color matching data of a color patch of each color in the color bar is measured by the first detector. The upward/downward position adjusting unit adjusts the upward/downward position of the sensor head based on the upward/downward position of the color bar, which is detected by the second detector. A method of controlling ink supply amount/registration adjustment in a printing press is also disclosed. | 08-02-2012 |
