  • Patent number: 8665318
    Abstract: Analysis of digitally encoded videos is disclosed. A method comprises: calculating pixelwise errors between each block and its search area that are mapped to an equal size; collecting the errors into a memory; and analyzing a three-dimensional surface formed by the errors collected into the memory in order to define a level of detail in the first digital image and/or in the second digital image, and/or a correspondence between the first digital image and the second digital image, and/or a motion extending beyond borders of the first digital image and the second digital image, and/or a motion blur within the first digital image and/or within the second digital image.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7809212
    Abstract: Digital mosaic image construction with an apparatus, method, computer program, and integrated circuit is disclosed. In the method, a first digital image and a second digital image are obtained, and a global motion vector is defined between the first digital image and the second digital image. Next, a mosaic image is combined from the first digital image and the second digital image utilizing the relative locations of the first and second digital images with each other as expressed by the global motion vector.

  • Publication number: 20070009034
    Abstract: Apparatuses, computer program product, and method for digital image processing. A digital image processing apparatus includes an input interface to obtain a first digital image and a second digital image, and a processing unit coupled with the input interface. The processing unit defines at least one block in the first digital image, defines for each block a search area in the second digital image, the search area being larger than the block, maps the block and its search area to an equal size, calculates pixelwise errors between each block and its search area that are mapped to an equal size, collects the errors into a motion register, and defines a motion between the first digital image and the second digital image by utilizing the motion register.

  • Publication number: 20060285598
    Abstract: Apparatuses, a computer program product and a method for digital image quality improvement. A digital image quality improvement unit includes an input interface to obtain edge pixels of a pixel domain target block and edge pixels of pixel domain blocks adjacent to the pixel domain target block; a processing unit coupled with the input interface to form a frequency domain substitute block from the edge pixels of the pixel domain target block and the edge pixels of the pixel domain blocks adjacent to the pixel domain target block and to form a pixel domain substitute block from the frequency domain substitute block; and an output interface coupled with the processing unit to place the pixel domain substitute block in position of the pixel domain target block.
