  • Contrast enhanced images composited with artificial colorization
    Patent number: 11877088
    Abstract: A method for enhancing digital imagery. The method comprises receiving a linear, intensity-based image of an environment. A histogram of intensity values is generated for a plurality of pixels within the linear, intensity-based image. Based on the histogram of intensity values, local contrast enhancement is applied to the linear, intensity-based image to generate a contrast enhanced version of the linear, intensity-based image, and artificial colorization is applied to the linear, intensity-based image to generate an artificially colorized version of the linear, intensity-based image. A composite image of the environment is then generated based on at least a portion of the contrast enhanced version of the linear, intensity-based image and at least a portion of the artificially colorized version of the linear, intensity-based image.

  • Systems and methods for obtaining dark current images
    Patent number: 11765475
    Abstract: A system for obtaining dark current images includes one or more processors and one or more hardware storage devices storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to configure the system to perform various acts. The acts include obtaining a first image frame, generating a first low-pass filtered image by applying a low-pass filter to the first image frame, and generating a first estimated dark current image by subtracting the first low-pass filtered image from the first image frame.
