Patent number: 9036939Abstract: Systems and techniques for processing sequences of video images involve receiving, on a computer, data corresponding to a sequence of video images detected by an image sensor. The received data is processed using a graphics processor to adjust one or more visual characteristics of the video images corresponding to the received data. The received data can include video data defining pixel values and ancillary data relating to settings on the image sensor. The video data can be processed in accordance with ancillary data to adjust the visual characteristics, which can include filtering the images, blending images, and/or other processing operations.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2012Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Alexei V. Ouzilevski, Fernando Urbina, Brett Bilbrey, Jay Zipnick

Patent number: 8675102Abstract: A video enhancement processing system improves perceptual quality of video data with limited processing complexity. The system may perform spatial denoising using filter weights that may vary based on estimated noise of an input image. Specifically, estimated noise of the input image may alter a search neighborhood over which the denoising filter operates, may alter a profile of weights to be applied based on pixel distances and may alter a profile of weights to be applied based on similarity of pixels for denoising processes. As such, the system finds application in consumer devices that perform such enhancement techniques in real time using general purpose processors such as CPUs or GPUs.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2012Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Farhan A. Baqai, Jay Zipnick, Haitao Guo
