  • Patent number: 8655058
    Abstract: A system and method of adaptive edge detection and noise reduction in an image where edge information is detected for each color component of each pixel, whether sensed or synthesized. In some embodiments, the filter applied to a selected non-edge pixel may be determined by the ultimate size of a region around the selected pixel, where the size of the region may be increased if a count of the non-edge pixels in the region is less than a threshold value.

  • Patent number: 8610804
    Abstract: An apparatus and other embodiments associated with performing interpolations to compute gain values that correct for varying spatial intensity are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes interpolation logic configured to determine a gain value for a pixel in image data for which there is no gain value available in the apparatus. The interpolation logic is configured to determine the gain value by performing an interpolation of related gain values available in the apparatus. The apparatus also includes falloff correction logic configured to apply the gain value to the pixel in the image data.

  • Patent number: 8564680
    Abstract: Systems and methods for synthesizing color data. The method includes calculating gradients at a plurality of angles with respect to a generation point in a matrix of color data, performing a first-level edge test by comparing each of the gradients to a noise threshold, selecting an interpolation technique in response to the comparisons, and synthesizing missing color data at said generation point using the selected interpolation technique.

  • Publication number: 20130067408
    Abstract: A graphical user interface includes a collection of selectable content items, and a command surface for selectively displaying command selectors relating to the collection of selectable content items. Responsive to user selection of a first content item from the collection, the command surface is updated to include a first set of one or more command selectors applicable to the first content item. Responsive to user selection of a second content item, the command surface is updated to include a second set of one or more command selectors applicable to both the first content item and the second content item. Each command selector in the second set is selectable to execute a contextually applicable command related to both the first content item and the second content item.

  • Publication number: 20130067398
    Abstract: Semantic zoom techniques are described. In one or more implementations, techniques are described that may be utilized by a user to navigate to content of interest. These techniques may also include a variety of different features, such as to support semantic swaps and zooming “in” and “out.” These techniques may also include a variety of different input features, such as to support gestures, cursor-control device, and keyboard inputs. A variety of other features are also supported as further described in the detailed description and figures.

  • Patent number: 8175378
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for noise management in a digital image system measures noise levels of pixel data. The noise levels are adjusted with at least one of an intensity gain setting, a spatial gain setting, and a global gain setting to calculate noise adaptive thresholds for use during spatial processing of the pixel data.

  • Publication number: 20010027488
    Abstract: A cross-referencing method and system for use with a collection of reference sources provides a method and a means for the identification of cross-references between elements in the same reference source and the identification of additional cross-references on the basis of appearances of related elements contained in one or more other reference sources. The cross-referencing method and system provides a data retrieval tool that is multi-directional and for which the boundaries between individual references sources is transparent.
