Patent number: 8928763Abstract: Detecting blur and defocusing in images is described. After detection, correction algorithms are applied. Detection provides an image processing system with parameters related to a blur (e.g., direction, strength) and noise levels, or may trigger a message to a user to re-take a photograph. Detection involves finding and analyzing edges of objects instead of an entire image. Disclosed detector may be used for OCR purposes, blur and defocusing detection in photographic and scanning devices, video cameras, print quality control systems, computer vision. Detection of blur and defocusing of an image involve second derivatives of image brightness. Object edges are detected. For points on edges, profiles of second derivative are obtained in the direction of the gradient. Statistics are gathered about parameters of profiles in various directions. By analyzing statistics, image distortions and their type (e.g., blur, defocusing), the strength of distortion, the direction of the blur are detected.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2011Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: ABBYY Development LLCInventors: Mikhail Kostyukov, Sergey Fedorov

Patent number: 8690886Abstract: An insertion instrument for inserting an expandable support device, where the insertion instrument includes an actuator device operable to rotate a component of an expandable support device to a rotated position, such that the rotation to the rotated position of the expandable support device causes a first longitudinally extending member of the expandable support device to be longitudinally fixed. The insertion instrument also includes a hollow body, where the hollow body includes a removable gear device or a removable screw driver device. The removable gear device is configurable to cause a first longitudinally extending member of expandable support device to longitudinally extend in a direction away from the center of the expandable support device.

Publication number: 20130163671Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for encoding and decoding a video frame using spatial prediction. The video frame is separated into a plurality of image blocks, and a plurality of spatial predictors is created for an image block using methods well-known in the art. The set of predictors is reduced to a set containing fewer spatial predictors before continuing the coding process for the block. The reduction of spatial predictors involves comparing a plurality of spatial predictors and grouping or processing a subset of the spatial predictors to a set of representative spatial predictors. Because the number of spatial predictors is reduced, fewer bits may be used in a bit stream to identify a chosen spatial predictor, thus improving the efficiency of the coding process.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2012Publication date: June 27, 2013Applicant: SYNOPSYS, INC.Inventors: Mikhail Korman, Sergey Fedorov
