Abstract: A system receives multiple support tickets, each of which contains support request text and is generated based on a support request received from a user of a computer system communicatively coupled to the system. The system applies a trained model to the support request text of each support ticket to assign a label to each support ticket. The label designates a type of support request contained in the support request text. The system renders a dashboard displaying a representation of the multiple support tickets organized according to the assigned labels.

Abstract: A color enhancement system may enhance color components in an image. In one embodiment, the color enhancement system suppresses banding by combining an input color value with an enhanced colored value. In another embodiment, local variation in saturation values around a pixel may be used to determine a modification of an input saturation value for color enhancement. As still another embodiment, flickering between frames may be suppressed by combining a histogram that counts the number of times a given pixel value occurs in a particular image with a historical histogram that keeps track of an average of how often given values have occurred in previous frames.

Abstract: Various embodiments for image contrast enhancement are described. In one or more embodiments, adaptive contrast enhancement may be realized by performing local standard deviation (LSD) based histogram equalization. In such embodiments, luminance (Y) values of an image may be grouped into one of several luminance regions, with each luminance region defining an LSD threshold. An LSD value may be calculated for each pixel within a particular luminance region and then compared to the LSD threshold for the particular luminance region. If the calculated LSD value for a pixel is smaller that the defined LSD threshold, then the pixel is not counted as a population for histogram equalization calculation. Otherwise, the pixel is counted as one population. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
