Patents by Inventor Eric Chasseur

Eric Chasseur has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11641528
    Abstract: An image capture device may include an image sensor, a processor, and memory. The image sensor may be configured to obtain an image. The processor may be configured to: generate a grid on the image forming tiles; determine a fringing level of each vertex of the vertices; sort all of the tiles based on the fringing level of each tile so that the tiles are sorted in a descending order from the tile with a highest of the fringing levels to the tile with a lowest of the fringing levels; and apply a fringing compensation to a subset of the sorted tiles to obtain a processed image. The memory may be configured to store the processed image.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11212425
    Abstract: An image capture device may include an image sensor, a processor, and a memory. The image sensor may be configured to obtain an image. The processor may be configured to generate a grid on the image. The grid may include one or more vertices. The one or more vertices may be used to form tiles. The processor may be configured to determine a flare level of each vertex. The processor may be configured to assign a maximum flare level for each tile of the image. The processor may be configured to sort the tiles. The tiles may be sorted based on the maximum flare level of each tile. The processor may be configured to apply a flare compensation to a subset of the tiles to obtain a processed image. The processed image may have reduced flare artifacts or no flare artifacts. The processed image may be stored in the memory.
