Abstract:
Two-dimensional (2D) color information and 3D-depth information are concurrently obtained from a 2D pixel array. The 2D pixel array is arranged in a first group of a plurality of rows. A second group of rows of the array are operable to generate 2D-color information and pixels of a third group of the array are operable to generate 3D-depth information. The first group of rows comprises a first number of rows, the second group of rows comprises a second number of rows that is equal to or less than the first number of rows, and the third group of rows comprises a third number of rows that is equal to or less than the second number of rows. In an alternating manner, 2D-color information is received from a row selected from the second group of rows and 3D-depth information is received from a row selected from the third group of rows.
Abstract:
A method for training a neural network to perform assessments of image quality is provided. The method includes: inputting into the neural network at least one set of images, each set including an image and at least one degraded version of the image; performing comparative ranking of each image in the at least one set of images; and training the neural network with the ranking information. A neural network and image signal processing tuning system are disclosed.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method. The apparatus includes an image representation unit configured to receive a sequence of frames generated from events sensed by a dynamic vision sensor (DVS) and generate a confidence map from non-noise events; and an image denoising unit connected to the image representation unit and configured to denoise an image in a spatio-temporal domain. The method includes receiving, by an image representation unit, a sequence of frames generated from events sensed by a DVS, and generating a confidence map from non-noise events; and denoising, by an image denoising unit connected to the image representation unit, images formed from the frames in a spatio-temporal domain.
