  • System, method, and software for image processing
    Patent number: 9277141
    Abstract: According to certain embodiments, an image processing system includes a computing system that receives a video signal including data for one or more images and determines a region of interest in a particular image of the one or more images. Using the determined region of interest, the computing system instructs the camera to generate a peripheral region of one or more subsequent images having a reduced information intensity level relative to the information intensity level with which the region of interest of the one or more subsequent images are generated. The region of interest of the one or more subsequent images corresponds to the region of interest of the particular image. The peripheral region including portions of the image other than the region of interest.

  • Imaging system
    Patent number: 8511823
    Abstract: According to certain embodiments, foveal array elements of a foveal region of a focal plane array are sampled at a faster sampling rate to yield foveal array data. Peripheral array elements of a peripheral region of the focal plane array are sampled at a slower sampling rate or sparser sampling density to yield peripheral array data. The foveal array data is processed to yield foveal image data for a foveal region of a display. The peripheral array data is processed to yield peripheral image data for a peripheral region of the display.
