Noise distributions from the image are evaluated to determine the radiometric response function of the camera, from which an inverse response function is computed and used for calibration. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20090268938 | PROBABILISTIC INTENSITY SIMILARITY MEASURE BASED ON NOISE DISTRIBUTIONS - Technologies for comparing observed intensities using a probabilistic similarity measure. In the probabilistic similarity measure example, there is no attempt to estimate a true intensity. Rather, the similarity of two observed intensities is defined as the likelihood that they each resulted from the same but unknown true identity while taking into account the noise characteristics of the camera observing the intensities. Since the true intensity is unknown, all possible true intensities are taken into account, rather than using a specific true intensity estimate. The probabilistic similarity measure indicates the degree to which two intensities correspond to the same intensity without estimating a true scene intensity value. | 10-29-2009 |

| 20080243748 | Rule set partitioning based packet classification method for Internet - The present invention provides a rule set partitioning based packet classification method for Internet. The method comprising: performing Horizontal Cut for the rule set, determining the field for partitioning a rule layer based on a target algorithm and selecting the partition manner of the Horizontal Cut, performing Horizontal Cut according to the selected partition manner of the Horizontal Cut, thereby obtaining more than one rule layers, each rule layer being a Horizontal subset, combining the rule layers to obtain a plurality of Horizontal subsets according to the total number of the pre-designated Horizontal subsets and a predefined principle, wherein the total number of said combined plurality of Horizontal subsets equals to the total number of said pre-designated Horizontal subsets; performing Vertical Cut in each of the Horizontal subsets; then forming a Hash table that can index the Vertical subsets, so that it can be used in a lookup; and realizing rule storage in each Vertical subset respectively according to the target algorithm. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20100113090 | Multimode Communication Terminal and Multimode Communication Implementation Method - The present invention provides a multimode communication terminal which contains at least a first separate channel module and a second separate channel module. The multimode communication terminal can be configured to communicate by using the first channel module and/or the second channel module. The channel modules communicate according to different communication protocols. The multimode communication terminal further comprises: channel switch layer means for switching the first channel module to have parameter characteristics consistent with those of the second channel module, so that the multimode communication terminal enables the MIMO operation mode by using the first channel module and the second channel module at the same time. The present invention further provides a method for enabling a MIMO operation mode in a multimode communication terminal. By using a relatively small number of RF communication modules, the present invention implements a wireless mobile multimode communication terminal which enables various operation modes including the MIMO operation mode. Compared with the existing solutions, the present invention greatly reduces the size required by the terminal. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100199319 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ESTABLISHING VOIP COMMUNCATION BY MEANS OF DIGITAL VIDEO BROADCASTING NETWORK - The present invention discloses a method and system for establishing VoIP communication by means of digital video broadcasting network. The method comprises: a first terminal sending a VoIP call request to a source VoIP server to which the first terminal belongs, the VoIP call request containing an address of a second terminal; the source VoIP server forwarding the VoIP call request to a destination VoIP server to which the second terminal belongs; the first terminal or any one of VoIP servers in a forwarding path from the source VoIP server to the destination VoIP server forwarding the VoIP call request to a digital video broadcasting front-end server; the digital video broadcasting front-end server converting the VoIP call request into a call request modulated in digital video signals and broadcasting it within the digital video broadcasting network. The method and system for establishing VoIP communication by means of digital video broadcasting network according to the present invention can receive the VoIP call and accordingly establish the VoIP communication even if the terminal, for example a DVB/IP combo set-top-box, is disconnected to the IP network. Moreover, the present invention can be implemented conveniently and has lower cost. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20110075593 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TRANSCEIVER AND MODE-SWITCH DEVICE THEREOF - A wireless communication transceiver and a mode switch device thereof. The transceiver includes: a first band transmission path; a first band reception path; a second band transmission path; a second band reception path; a path switch and a control unit. In a dual band time division duplexing mode, the control unit controls the path switch so that the path switch connects a received radio frequency signal from an antenna to the first band reception path, and connects a transmitted radio frequency signal from the second band transmission path to the antenna in an odd cycle or an even cycle; and controls the path switch so that the path switch connects a received radio frequency signal from the antenna to the second band reception path, and connects a transmitted radio frequency signal from the first band transmission path to the antenna in another odd cycle or another even cycle. | 03-31-2011 |
