Publication number: 20210304473Abstract: A composite image displayed on an image display incorporates a first portion of image content, and incorporates one or more second portions of image content within corresponding one or more picture regions of the composite image. One or more images properties selected from a resolution, a level of magnification, a measure of pan, a size, and a scale of each of the first and second image portions can be modified, and the modification of an image property of the one or more second portions of image content entails receiving either supplemental or replacement image data that provides for displaying a corresponding modified version of the corresponding one or more second portions of image content, the modification of which can be independent of the first portion of image content and is responsive to an action by the user that indicates at least an interest in or focus on the one or more second portions of image content.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2021Publication date: September 30, 2021Applicant: HFIPIX, INC.Inventor: Shawn L.

Publication number: 20150178951Abstract: For each of a plurality of pairs of correlated first and second image data components of a digitized image, a first encoded value is proportional to a first difference between the first image data component and a first product of the second image data component multiplied by a first factor, and a second encoded value is proportional to a second difference between the second image data component and a second product of the first image data component multiplied by the first factor. A corresponding encoded digitized image is formed from a plurality of pairs of first and second encoded values corresponding to the plurality of pairs of correlated first and second image data components. The encoded digitized image is decoded by a corresponding decoding process that provides for inverting the steps of the associated encoding process, so as to provide for recovering the original image data components with substantial accuracy.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2014Publication date: June 25, 2015Inventor: Shawn L.
