Abstract: A technique for validating a balcony to receive delivery of a parcel via a UAV includes obtaining a first identification of a general location of the balcony; generating a first image representing a building including the balcony where the first image is selected based upon the location identified; obtaining a second identification or a confirmation of a precise location of the balcony in the building where the second identification or the confirmation are received in response to an end-user interaction with the first image; determining a deliverability score based at least in part on the precise location of the balcony; and indicating an enrollment status to the end-user where the enrollment status is generated based upon the deliverability score.

Abstract: A method for a film transfer device includes receiving a digital image in the film transfer device, wherein the digital image comprises a plurality of square pixels, wherein the digital image comprises a first number of pixels in a horizontal direction and a second number of pixels in a vertical direction, and wherein the digital image comprises a non-anamorphic version of an image, and optically converting the digital image into an optical output image to film media in the film transfer device, wherein the optical output image is associated with a plurality of non-square pixels, wherein the optical output image is associated with the first number of pixels in the horizontal direction and the second number of pixels in the vertical direction, and wherein the optical output image comprises an anamorphic version of the image.

Abstract: A digital film scanner interface obtains digital image data produced by projecting a motion picture film frame onto a sensor. The image data is transferred from the sensor to a Digital Signal Processor (“DSP”) block. The DSP block processes the image data to, for example, minify, magnify, enhance colors, or correct for errors in the image data. The DSP block comprises four DSPs. One of the DSPs receives the image data from the sensor and controls the flow of the image data to the other three DSPs. The processing tasks can then be distributed to the DSPs based on availability. Alternatively, the digital signal processing tasks can be allocated such that each DSP processes one color component of image data. After the image data is processed, it is transferred over a bus to a long term storage device.
