Abstract: In a converting method relating to picture luminance according to one aspect of the present disclosure, the picture luminance is formed by luminance values in a first luminance range. In this method, a first luminance signal that indicates code values obtained by quantizing the luminance value of the picture is obtained, code values, which are associated with the code values indicated by the obtained first luminance signal by quantization for a second luminance range different in a maximum value from the first luminance range are determined as converted code values, and the first luminance signal is converted into a second luminance signal indicating the converted code values. As a result, the converting method is further improved.

Abstract: In described examples, a method includes: receiving an array of image data pixels for display by a spatial light modulator; dividing the array of image data pixels into a plurality of blocks. For the blocks of the plurality of blocks, the method includes: computing a mean value for pixels in the block; computing a variance for pixels in the block; and, in response to the mean value and the variance, retrieving an indicator of a likelihood of a visible artifact for the block; and in response to the retrieved indicator, outputting a signal to selectively increase or reduce a load time of the spatial light modulator for displaying the array of image data pixels.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to providing a method and system that enables a first responder police Incident Commander to take command and control of a building having an active suspect ongoing event. Using the method and system herein, the Police Incident Commander is able to clearly distinguish the positions of his building entry teams (BETs) in the building relative to the position of the suspect through a graphic display of Friend and Foe designation whereupon he can precisely direct their maneuver to close with the suspect. The incident commander communicates to a Command and Control Center to arm non-lethal chemical canisters pre-located in “Hot Zones” for use in remotely incapacitating the intruders. When the intruders, boxed in by the BETs, enter a “Hot Zone” the incident commander gives the command to release the non-lethal chemical/smoke, ammonia spray that disorients and blinds the intruders allowing the BETs to safely end the incident.

Abstract: A video signal processing system includes a first video signal processing chip and a second video signal processing chip. The first video signal processing chip determines whether both of a first video signal and a second video signal are in a stable state. After the first video signal processing chip determines that both of the first and second video signals are in the stable state, the first video signal processing chip sends a synchronization signal to the first video processing chip and the second video processing chip. After receiving the synchronization signal, the first video signal processing chip and the second video signal processing chip respectively output a first processed video signal and a second processed video signal to a display device.

Abstract: Techniques are described in which a video decoding mode is used to determine which regions of a picture need to be composed. If a region of a current picture is decoded in skip mode with the reference picture of the skip mode being a previous picture that is displayed immediately prior to the current picture, then pixel values for that region may not need to be retrieved from system memory.
