  • Patent number: 10178323
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for generating a digital image. The method comprises receiving a shutter release command and causing a camera module to sample a first image of a photographic scene based on a first set of sampling parameters in response to the shutter release command. Next, the first image within an image set is stored and a camera module is caused to sample a second image of the photographic scene based on a second set of sampling parameters in response to the shutter release command. Additionally, the second image within the image set is stored, and a strobe intensity value is specified based on a measured exposure for images in the image set. Lastly, a strobe unit is configured based on the strobe intensity value, and in response to configuring the strobe unit, the camera module is caused to sample a final image.

  • Patent number: 10129514
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for generating a digital image is disclosed. In use, a first image set is captured by a first image sensor, the first image set including two or more first source images and a plurality of chrominance values, and a second image set is captured by a second image sensor, the second image set including two or more second source images and a plurality of luminance values. Next, a first image of the first source images and a second image of the first source images are combined to form a first pair of source images, and a first image of the second source images and a second image of the second source images are combined to form a second pair of source images. Additionally, a first resulting image by is generated combining the first pair of source images with the second pair of source images. Additional systems, methods, and computer program products are also presented.

  • Patent number: 9674190
    Abstract: Techniques for distributing restricted media to consumers are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, personalized settings (e.g., parameters or table) are managed in a primary client device associated with a user. A copy of the personalized settings is maintained in a server. When the primary box is replaced, a copy of the personalized settings is uploaded to a different client device that is configured to respond to the personalized settings. Data pertaining to titles in a personal vault is preloaded. When there is an order for a release that is restricted for distribution over an open network, data pertaining to such a release is also loaded. As a result, the subscriber sees the familiar settings on the different client device and would not miss any release while the primary box is being replaced or repaired.
