Patent number: 10158796Abstract: The invention relates to a phase-detection autofocus system using a single two-dimensional (2D) image sensor as an autofocus sensor. This allows for a number of novel functionalities such as calibration by adaptive selection of pixels for the autofocus collection zone, dynamically optimization of the collection zone for various scene and lightning conditions, as well as the use of 2D phase signals in the cross-correlation. This freedom in selecting which pixels to use gives rise to an equivalent freedom for the focus points presented to the user, which can be created, moved and scaled according to the conditions and the scene.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2016Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: PHASE ONE A/SInventor: Thomas Andersen

Patent number: 7929807Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reducing the pixel resolution of a digital image by binning pixels together to form macro pixels. The digital image comprises pixels arranged in a color mask of at least three different colors. The color mask can be a Bayer mask comprising one red pixel, two green pixels and one blue pixel. The pixel binning method comprises selecting a number of pixels of each color. For example, in order to obtain a factor two resolution reduction, four red pixels can be binned for generating a red macro pixel and eight green pixels can be binned for generating two green macro pixels. By selecting for example only one blue pixel and using that pixel for generating a blue macro pixel the optical centers of the macro pixels will be evenly distributed over the image.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2007Date of Patent: April 19, 2011Assignee: Phase One A/SInventor: Thomas Andersen

Patent number: 7656561Abstract: Lossless, near-lossless, and lossy compression and decompression of digital image data, whereby the image data can be compressed and decompressed on-the-fly with no need for external RAM resources for temporary data storage while compressing/decompressing image data. Implementing the algorithm only requires a very limited amount of silicon and yields very high performance in relation to very low power consumption. The described implementation is optimized for raw image data from a sensor with a Bayer filter pattern but can be used on data from image sensors with ay color filter. The compression algorithm contains a line indexing formation which enables very fast subsampling of an already compressed image and the possibility to decompress only parts of an image—this improves performance and reduces the need for temporary RAM storage greatly when zooming and in postprocessing.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2004Date of Patent: February 2, 2010Assignee: Phase One A/SInventors: Claus Mølgaard, Thomas Alexander Rogon, Thomas Andersen

Patent number: 7023576Abstract: A digital image processing method for eliminating Moiré in a digital image divided into pixels holding pixel component values includes selecting a first pixel and defining a pixel window around the selected first pixel. Then, a set of pixels are identified which consist of pixels within the window that have pixel component values within a pixel component value range that is related to the selected first pixel. A pixel component value is calculated based on corresponding pixel component values of pixels in the set of pixels and then this calculated pixel component value is allocated to the selected first pixel.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2000Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Phase One A/SInventors: Michael Jønsson, Casper Find Andersen, Niels V.

Patent number: 6912004Abstract: A method and a system for processing images using interpolating. A variation value for different sets of pixels is determined, and the set of pixels with the highest correlation (lowest numeric value) is selected. A missing color at a given pixel is expressed in terms of the information contained in the selected set of pixels. If the variation value is below a certain threshold, due to noise or other factors, an alternative set of pixels using a different variation method may be selected. The missing color is estimated as a weighted sum of, e.g., the green samples divided by the weighted sum of, e.g., the red samples multiplied by the sampled value from the pixel to be estimated.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 1999Date of Patent: June 28, 2005Assignee: Phase One A/SInventors: Niels V.
