Abstract: The invention discloses a method for processing image data of an image sensor, said image sensor comprises a sensor area of a pixel matrix providing image pixel data, wherein the pixel matrix comprises phase detection pixels at pre-defined locations, and wherein a set of image pixel data comprises phase detection information of said phase detection pixels, and wherein a step of calculating image pixel data for the pre-defined locations of the phase detection pixels as a function with either symmetric or asymmetric positioning of the respective phase detection in the colour channel is performed.

Abstract: A method for processing of image data is described, wherein an image comprises a matrix of pixels. The method includes: determining differences between a pixel value of a current pixel and a pixel value of a respective adjacent pixel in a number of gradient directions; and encoding the current pixel by replacing the current pixel by the gradient direction having the minimum gradient difference for the current pixel. Thus, the gradient direction is explicitly encoded into the output image data stream.

Abstract: An electronic circuit and method for self-diagnosis of a data memory (RAM) is described comprising/using a first error correction code unit (ECCGEN1) for generating an error correction code (ECCIN) from user data (DIN) to be written into the data memory (RAM). The electronic circuit is arranged to feed the user data (DIN) written into the memory and the related error correction code (ECCIN) into the error check unit (ECCCHK/CORR) in the write cycle when writing the user data and the related error correction code (ECCIN) into the data memory (RAM) to provide a Latent Fault flag in case of a determined difference between the error correction code (ECCIN) and the countercheck code (CCCIN) calculated from the user data (DIN) by the error check unit (ECCCHK/CORR).

Abstract: The invention relates to a modular optical recording system. According to the invention, a compact, flexibly configurable and expandable system structure for image recording, image stabilization and image correction is provided with an optical observation device that is to be arranged in the region of a preferably cylindrical housing concept. The recording system is designed in such a manner that a precise, play-free and frictionless mechanical correction of at least complete rotations about the optical axis and/or a precise and play-free adjustment of the flange focal distance is made possible.

Abstract: A method for transmitting digital scene description data from a transmitter scene processing device to at least one receiver scene processing device is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of encoding of scene description data and rendering commands in the transmitter scene processing device by setting of priorities for the scene description data and related rendering commands and dynamically reordering the scene description data and related rendering commands depending on the respective priorities in order to reduce the bandwidth required for transmission and/or to adapt to unreliable bandwidth; and transmitting the encoded scene description data and related rendering commands to the at least one receiver scene processing device for decoding and executing the rendering commands in relation to the transmitted scene description data by the at least one receiver scene processing device to achieve animated digital graphic.
