US Patent:

6584235, Jun 24, 2003

Filed:

Apr 23, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/299066

Inventors:

Eric R. Fossum - La Crescenta CA
Abraham Kotlyar - La Crescenta CA

Assignee:

Micron Technology, Inc. - Boise ID

International Classification:

G06K 932

US Classification:

382284, 382295, 382294, 382293, 345630, 345629, 348588, 348584

Abstract:

An image fusion is carried out using a look-up table. The look-up table is addressed by the different kinds of images that will be used to carry out the fusion. Each address in the look-up table contains a precomputed image fusion between the two different kinds of images.

US Classification:

Abstract:

A video signal compensator and method for compensating for differential picture brightness of an optical image due to uneven illumination is shown. The video signal compensator includes a device for generating a compensating signal substantially representing at least one parameter of a compensating waveform required to produce a video signal representing an optical image having a substantially uniform brightness. An adder operatively coupled to the compensating signal generating device and a video signal adds the compensating signal and the video signal to produce a compensating video signal used as an input to a video signal processor adjusting its gain both vertically and horizontally compensated by increasing the gain of the video signal representing that part of the optical image which is less bright than a reference and reducing the gain of the video signal representing that part of the optical image which is brighter than a reference compensating the video signal to represent an optical image having a substantially uniform brightness. The compensating signal can be generated by either an analog signal generating device or a digital signal processing device.
