    摘要: A 9 pixel-by-9 pixel working window slides over an input Bayer image. For each such window, a demosaicing operation is performed. For each such window, corrective processing is performed relative to that window to produce relative differences for that window. For each such window for which relative differences have been produced, those relative differences are regulated. For each window, a maximum is found for that window's regulated relative differences; in one embodiment of the invention, this maximum is used to select which channel is sharp. For each window, the colors in that window are corrected based on the relative difference-based maximum found for that window. For each window, edge oversharpening is softened in order to avoid artifacts in the output image. The result is an output image in which axial chromatic aberrations have been corrected.

    摘要: A forward interpolation approach is disclosed for enabling a second version of an image to be constructed from a first version of the image. According to one implementation, an input pixel from the first version of the image is forward mapped to the second version of the image to determine a set of candidate pixels that may be affected by the input pixel. Each candidate pixel is then backward mapped to the first version of the image to determine whether they are actually affected by the input pixel. For each candidate pixel that is actually affected by the input pixel, a pixel value is determined for that candidate pixel based at least in part upon the pixel value of the input pixel. By using this forward and backward mapping technique, forward interpolation can be implemented quickly and efficiently.

    摘要: In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, an anisotropic denoising method is provided that removes sensor noise from a digital image while retaining edges, lines, and details in the image. In one embodiment, the method removes noise from a pixel of interest based on the detected type of image environment in which the pixel is situated. If the pixel is situated in an edge/line image environment, then denoising of the pixel is increased such that relatively stronger denoising of the pixel occurs along the edge or line feature. If the pixel is situated in a detail image environment, then denoising of the pixel is decreased such that relatively less denoising of the pixel occurs so as to preserve the details in the image. In one embodiment, detection of the type of image environment is accomplished by performing simple arithmetic operations using only pixels in a 9 pixel by 9 pixel matrix of pixels in which the pixel of interest is situated. As a result, improved image environment sensitive noise reduction is achieved that requires a relatively low gate count in hardware implementations.

    摘要: Different distances of two or more objects in a scene being captured in a video conference are determined based on applying a face model to a detected face within a digitally-acquired image. At least one portion of the scene other than the face is identified as comprising a background object that is a different distance from the video camera component than the face. The technique involves blurring or otherwise rendering unclear the background object.
