Patent number: 11818351Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device for compressing video image data includes a housing, an image sensor, a memory device, and one or more processors. The image sensor can generate image data from light incident on the image sensor. The one or more processors can transform the image data to obtain transform coefficients, quantize the transform coefficients, encode the quantized transform coefficients, and store the quantized transform coefficients to the memory device. The one or more processors can encode the quantized transform coefficients at least by determining a range of multiple ranges in which one transform coefficient is included, determining a value within the range to which the one transform coefficient corresponds, encoding using a first algorithm the range as a range code, and encoding using a second algorithm the value as a value code.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2022Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: RED.COM, LLCInventors: James H.

Patent number: 10939088Abstract: Dense field imagers are disclosed which are configured to provide combined, aggregated, fused, and/or stitched light field data for a scene. A dense field imager can include a plurality of imaging elements configured to be joined into image blocks or facets that each provides light field data about a scene. The dense field imager can include a plurality of facets in a fixed or modular fashion such that the dense field imager is configured to combine, aggregate, fuse and/or stitch light field data from the plurality of facets. The facets can be mounted such that one or more facets are non-coplanar with other facets. The facets can be configured to provide a representation of the light field with overlapping fields of view. Accordingly, the dense field imager can provide dense field data over a field of view covered by the plurality of facets.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: RED.COM, LLCInventors: James H.

Patent number: 10582168Abstract: Embodiments provide a video camera that can be configured to highly compress video data in a visually lossless manner. The camera can be configured to transform blue, red, and/or green image data in a manner that enhances the compressibility of the data. The camera can be configured to transform at least a portion of the green image data in a manner that enhances the compressibility of the data. The data can then be compressed and stored in this form. This allows a user to reconstruct the red, blue, and/or green image data to obtain the original raw data or a modified version of the original raw data that is visually lossless when demosaiced. Additionally, the data can be processed in a manner in which at least some of the green image elements are demosaiced first and then the red, blue, and/or some green elements are reconstructed based on values of the demosaiced green image elements.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2018Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: RED.COM, LLCInventors: James H.
