Patent number: 11037522Abstract: Color signals to be displayed on a colored display surface and having a first gamut in a color space, are subjected to radiometric compensation. An embodiment includes displaying on the colored surface a set of control points of a known color, acquiring via a camera the control points as displayed on the colored surface and evaluating at least one second color gamut of the control points displayed on the colored surface. The second color gamut(s) is/are misaligned with respect to the first color gamut due to the display surface being a colored surface. The method may also include evaluating as an intersection gamut, the misalignment of the second color gamut(s) with respect to the first color gamut, calculating the color transformation operator(s) as a function of the misalignment evaluated, and applying the color transformation operator(s) to the color signals for display on the colored display surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2018Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: STMICROELECTRONICS S.R.L.Inventors: Filippo Naccari, Mirko Guarnera, Simone Bianco, Raimondo Schettini

Patent number: 9910864Abstract: Searches performed in a data base using image descriptors of query images are managed via a mobile communication device, such as a smartphone, a tablet, etc., by: extracting at the mobile device grayscale and color descriptors of query images, sending the grayscale descriptors as compressed grayscale descriptors of query images from the mobile device to a server for searching in the data base, receiving at the mobile device results of the search, using color descriptors of query images in disambiguating the results by: i) sending the color descriptors as compressed color descriptors of query images from the mobile device to the server and receiving at the mobile device disambiguated search results from the server, or ii) receiving at the mobile device non-disambiguated search results from the server and disambiguating the search results by means of the color descriptors extracted at the mobile device to produce disambiguated search results.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2015Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: STMICROELECTRONICS S.R.L.Inventors: Danilo Pietro Pau, Davide Mazzini, Raimondo Schettini, Simone Bianco

Patent number: 9830527Abstract: An image processing system includes a first processor that acquires frames of image data. For each frame of data, the first processor generates a Gaussian pyramid for the frame of data, extract histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) descriptors for each level of the Gaussian pyramid, compresses the HOG descriptors, and sends the compressed HOG descriptors. A second processor is coupled to the first processor and is configured to receive the compressed HOG descriptors, aggregate the compressed HOG descriptors into windows, compare data of each window to at least one stored model, and generate output based upon the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2015Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: STMICROELECTRONICS S.R.L.Inventors: Alberto Margari, Danilo Pietro Pau, Raimondo Schettini

Patent number: 8452088Abstract: A method of classification for a content-based digital-image, including: defining a set of low-level features describing the semantic content of the image, the features being quantities obtainable from the image by means of logico-mathematical expressions that are known beforehand, and the choice of said features depending upon the image classes used for the classification; indexing an image to be classified, with the purpose of extracting therefrom a feature vector, the components of which consist of the values assumed, in the image, by said low-level features; splitting the feature space defined by the low-level features into a plurality of classification regions, to each one of the regions there being associated a respective image class, and each classification region being the locus of the points of the feature space defined by a finite set of conditions laid on at least one component of the feature vector; associating the feature vector to the feature space; identifying, among the classification regions,Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2000Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: STMicroelectronics S.r.l.Inventors: Mauro De Ponti, Raimondo Schettini, Carla Brambilla, Anna Valsasna, Gianluca Ciocca

Patent number: 7881554Abstract: A luminance intensity of pixels of an input digital image is corrected for generating a corrected digital image. A luminance of each pixel is calculated as a function of the luminance of a corresponding pixel in an original image according to a parametric function. A mask of the input digital image to be corrected is generated according to a bilateral filtering technique. For each pixel of the input digital image, a respective value of at least one parameter of the parametric function is established based upon the luminance of a corresponding pixel of the mask.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2006Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Assignee: STMicroelectronics S.R.L.Inventors: Alfio Castorina, Raimondo Schettini, Francesca Gasparini, Silvia Corchs, Alessandro Capra
