  • Method and apparatus for processing MPEG media transport protocol packets
    Patent number: 9614936
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for processing MMTP packets. When an MMTP packet is transmitted, the packet processing apparatus calculates a reference value from partial field values of a reference MMTP packet header, and inserts the calculated reference value into the compressed header. By the reference value, MMTP packets may be correctly distinguished and may be correctly referred to when there are two reference MMTP packets in which the lower 5 bits of packet sequence numbers are identical to each other, or even when the number of reference MMTP packets is a multiple of 256.

  • Methods and apparatus for true high dynamic range imaging
    Patent number: 9615038
    Abstract: When imaging bright objects, a conventional detector array can saturate, making it difficult to produce an image with a dynamic range that equals the scene's dynamic range. Conversely, a digital focal plane array (DFPA) with one or more m-bit counters can produce an image whose dynamic range is greater than the native dynamic range. In one example, the DFPA acquires a first image over a relatively brief integration period at a relatively low gain setting. The DFPA then acquires a second image over longer integration period and/or a higher gain setting. During this second integration period, counters may roll over, possibly several times, to capture a residue modulus 2m of the number of counts (as opposed to the actual number of counts). A processor in or coupled to the DFPA generates a high-dynamic range image based on the first image and the residues modulus 2m.
