  • Patent number: 11172285
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques to process audio signals to lessen the impact that wind and/or other environmental noise has upon the resulting quality of these audio signals. For example, the techniques may determine a level of wind and/or other noise in an environment and may determine how best to process the signals to lessen the impact of the noise, such that one or more users that hear audio based on output of the signals hear higher-quality audio.

  • Patent number: 8704909
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for efficiently coding and processing image data using an electronic device are provided. While both image-quality processing and coding operations may be performed for a frame of captured image data, the electronic device may leverage information generated during one operation in order to more efficiently conduct another operation. For example, an image coding operation may be performed on a first frame of image data by partitioning the image data into blocks of data and transforming the blocks of data into a frequency domain representation or format. Color component statistics from one or more of the blocks of data may be obtained, and an image-quality processing operation may then be performed on the first frame of image data or a subsequent frame of image data using the obtained color component statistics.
