Patent number: 11115638Abstract: A technique of generating a stereoscopic panorama image includes panning a portable camera device, and acquiring multiple image frames. Multiple at least partially overlapping image frames are acquired of portions of the scene. The method involves registering the image frames, including determining displacements of the imaging device between acquisitions of image frames. Multiple panorama images are generated including joining image frames of the scene according to spatial relationships and determining stereoscopic counterpart relationships between the multiple panorama images. The multiple panorama images are processed based on the stereoscopic counterpart relationships to form a stereoscopic panorama image.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2018Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: FotoNation LimitedInventors: Petronel Bigioi, George Susanu, Igor Barcovschi, Piotr Stec, Larry Murray, Alexandru Drimbarean, Peter Corcoran

Patent number: 8797418Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting and correcting chromatic aberration and purple fringing are disclosed. Chromatic aberration can be addressed by separating an image into color planes and then adjusting these to reduce chromatic aberration by using a specific calibration image (calibration chart) as an empirical method to calibrate the image acquisition device. Purple fringing can be corrected by initially addressing color aberration resulting from the lateral chromatic aberration (LCA). The LCA is first removed and then the correction is extended to purple fringing. A discovery is relied upon that the purple fringing is created in the direction of the chromatic aberration and is more pronounced in the direction of the chromatic aberration.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2011Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: DigitalOptics Corporation Europe LimitedInventors: Piotr Stec, Larry Murray, Alexandru Drimbarean

Patent number: 8705894Abstract: A measure of frame-to-frame rotation is determined. Integral projection vector gradients are determined and normalized for a pair of images. Locations of primary maximum and minimum peaks of the integral projection vector gradients are determined. Based on normalized distances between the primary maximum and minimum peaks, a global image rotation is determined.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2011Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Digital Optics Corporation Europe LimitedInventors: Felix Albu, Larry Murray, Piotr Stec, Ilariu Raducan

Patent number: 8587666Abstract: A measure of frame-to-frame rotation is determined. A global XY alignment of a pair of image frames is performed. At least one section of each of the X and Y integral projection vectors is determined, where aligned global vectors demonstrate a significant localized difference. Based on X and Y locations of the at least one section of the X and Y integral projection vectors, location, relative velocity and/or approximate area of at least one moving object within the sequence of image frames is/are determined.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2011Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: DigitalOptics Corporation Europe LimitedInventors: Felix Albu, Larry Murray, Piotr Stec, Ilariu Raducan

Patent number: 8587665Abstract: A measure of frame-to-frame rotation is determined. A global XY alignment of a pair of frames is performed. Local XY alignments in at least two matching corner regions of the pair of images are determined after the global XY alignment. Based on differences between the local XY alignments, a global rotation is determined between the pair of frames.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2011Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: DigitalOptics Corporation Europe LimitedInventors: Felix Albu, Larry Murray, Piotr Stec, Ilariu Raducan

Patent number: 8294748Abstract: A technique of generating a panoramic image involves acquiring a set of at least two main image frames, as well as corresponding generating and/or acquiring corresponding relatively low-resolution image frames, of overlapping portions of a panoramic scene. A map or other information is stored relating to the generation of a low-res panorama. A main panorama image is formed by joining main image frames based on the map or other information gained in the low-res process.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2009Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: DigitalOptics Corporation Europe LimitedInventors: Piotr Stec, Larry Murray, Alexandru Drimbarean, Igor Barcovschi, Peter Corcoran
