  • Patent number: 9934558
    Abstract: Technologies for a single-pass process for enhancing video quality with temporal smoothing. The process may include providing for user overrides of automatically enhanced video/frame characteristics and providing substantially immediate previews of enhanced video frames to a user. The process may also include detecting a degree of shakiness in a portion of the video, and performing or recommending stabilization based on the detected shakiness.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 8, 2016
    Date of Patent: April 3, 2018
    Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLC

  • Patent number: 9344690
    Abstract: Image demosaicing is described, for example, to enable raw image sensor data, where image elements have intensity values in only one of three color channels, to be converted into a color image where image elements have intensity values in three color channels. In various embodiments a trained machine learning component is used to carry out demosaicing optionally in combination with denoising. In some examples the trained machine learning system comprises a cascade of trained regression tree fields. In some examples the machine learning component has been trained using pairs of mosaiced and demosaiced images where the demosaiced images have been obtained by downscaling natural color digital images. For example, the mosaiced images are obtained from the demosaiced images by subsampling according to one of a variety of color filter array patterns.
