20090138721 | Small Memory Footprint Fast Elliptic Encryption - A method of generating a digital signature includes generating a first random number from a finite field of numbers, and generating field elements defining a first point on an elliptic curve defined over the finite field of numbers by performing elliptic curve arithmetic on the first random number and an initial public point on the elliptic curve. The method continues by generating a product from a field element, a private key, and a second random number received from a challenger seeking verification of a digital signature, and generating a signature component by summing the product and the first random number. The signature component is reduced using one or more modular reduction operations, using a modulus equal to an order of the elliptic curve, and then the reduced signature component and the field elements are sent to the challenger as a digital signature for verification by the challenger. | 05-28-2009 |

20120082396 | Digital Image Resampling - Systems, methods and computer program products are disclosed for resampling a digital image. According to an implementation, a source image can be presharpened and upsampled to a first upsampled image having a specified image size and a first level of presharpening. The source image is also presharpened and upsampled to a second upsampled image having the specified image size and second level of presharpening that is less than the first level of presharpening. The first and second upsampled images are deblurred. A binary edge mask image is generated from the deblurred, upsampled images. The binary edge mask image is dilated and blurred to generate a deep mask image. The first and second, deblurred upsampled images are blended together using the deep mask image. | 04-05-2012 |
20130084003 | Psychovisual Image Compression - Psychovisual image compression techniques are disclosed that compress pixel data by a fixed compression ratio with little or no perceptual loss of detail. In some implementations, a psychovisual compression process is selected among several psychovisual compression processes based on characteristics of the pixel data. Compression is achieved during encoding by discarding psychovisually unnecessary bits from the pixel data. The psychovisual compression processes can be implemented in hardware and operate on scan lines of pixels captured by the image sensor. The psychovisual compression techniques can be used with image compression techniques to compress further the pixel data. | 04-04-2013 |
20130084019 | Automatic Image Sharpening - Systems, methods and computer program products are disclosed for automatic image sharpening. Automatic image sharpening techniques are disclosed that automatically bring a blurred image into focus. Techniques for reducing edge ringing in sharpened images are also disclosed. According to implementations, a computer-implemented method includes determining a normalized entropy of a first image, calculating a correlation target based on the normalized entropy, automatically determining a blur radius of a de-convolution kernel that causes a cosine of a first radial power spectrum of the kernel and a second radial power spectrum of a reconstruction of the first image to approximate the correlation target and generating a second image based on the blur radius. | 04-04-2013 |
