20100328315METHOD AND UNIT FOR GENERATING A RADIANCE MAP - An embodiment of the invention relates to a method for generating a radiance map in High Dynamic Range (HDR) image creation by calculating mean difference curves for a sequence of images taken with different exposures and a transformation curve from the mean difference curve by an algorithm approximated to the Debevec function, by the means of which a radiance map can be calculated from the taken images. A further embodiment of the invention relates to a unit for performing this method.12-30-2010
20110050920METHOD, SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR REDUCING MOTION BLUR - The present invention relates to a method for reducing motion blur. According to the method, at least two image frames are captured. A sequence of values is provided. All captured frames are processed by subsequently associating one sequence value with each captured frame. The processed captured frames are accumulated and a deconvolution is applied to the accumulated frame.03-03-2011

20100245613METHOD AND UNIT FOR GENERATING HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE IMAGE AND VIDEO FRAME - An embodiment of the invention relates to a method for High Dynamic Range (HDR) image creation by generating a mean difference curve for use in aligning the images of a sequence of images taken with different exposures, wherein the difference in exposure might derive from a difference in exposure time or a difference in aperture size. A further embodiment of the invention relates to a method for HDR image creation by generating images with different exposures from a single image. A further embodiment of the invention relates to a method for HDR video creation by generating frames with different exposures from a single frame.09-30-2010

20080273806METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INITIALIZING TEMPLATES OF MOVING OBJECTS - A method for tracking a moving object in a sequence of images is provided, comprising: partitioning each of said images of said sequence into blocks, identifying blocks which have moved between consecutive images of said sequence, grouping adjacent blocks, which have moved in a same direction by a same distance, into a first group of blocks, initializing an initial template for said moving object with said first group of blocks and tracking said template in said sequence of images. A corresponding system for tracking moving objects is presented as well.11-06-2008
20080309516METHOD FOR DETECTING MOVING OBJECTS IN A BLIND SPOT REGION OF A VEHICLE AND BLIND SPOT DETECTION DEVICE - A method for detecting moving objects In a blind spot of vehicle is provided, comprising: taking a sequence of images of said blind spot region, partitioning each of said images of said sequence into blocks, identifying moving blocks which have moved between consecutive images of said sequence, determining a direction and a distance of said movement of said moving blocks; grouping adjacent moving blocks, for which directions within a predetermined direction interval and distances within a predetermined distance interval have been determined, and determining said moving objects based on said step of grouping. A corresponding blind spot detection device is provided as well.12-18-2008
20100073522METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REDUCING NOISE IN IMAGE DATA - The present invention relates to a method for reducing noise in image data, comprising the steps of performing (S03-25-2010
20100091126METHOD AND UNIT FOR MOTION DETECTION BASED ON A DIFFERENCE HISTOGRAM - Method for motion detection in a current picture (CP) with respect to a reference picture (RP), wherein for a plurality of locations in the current picture (CP) respective difference values (|D|) are determined (B04-15-2010

20090243387DUAL BATTERY VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS - A dual battery electrical system for a vehicle having an engine comprises a primary load and a secondary load and is switchable between an ON state in which the engine is running, an OFF state in which the engine is not running, a START state in which the primary load requires power to start the engine, and a PAUSE state in which the engine is not running. A first battery powers the primary load, a second battery powers the secondary load, a battery switch is closable to connect the first battery to the second battery such that both batteries can provide power to both loads. The transition to and from the OFF state is via a user activated mechanism and transition to and from the PAUSE state is via a user-independent mechanism. A controller controls operation of the battery switch when the system enters and/or leaves the PAUSE state.10-01-2009
