  • Image reconstruction method and system
    Patent number: 9424231
    Abstract: A method and system for producing a scalar image from a derivative field and a vector image is disclosed. A function class c is selected, where all members of the class c are functions which map each vector of the vector image to a unique scalar value. A function f is selected from the class c which maps the vector image to a scalar image, the derivative of which is closest to the derivative field. The scalar image is generated from the vector image by using f to calculate each scalar value in the scalar image from a corresponding vector in the vector image.

  • Method and system for generating accented image data
    Patent number: 8682093
    Abstract: A method and system for producing accented image data for an accented image is disclosed. The method includes decomposing each of a first and a second image into a gradient representation which comprises spectral and edge components. The first image comprises more spectral dimensions than the second image. The edge component from the first image is combined with the spectral component from the second image to form a combined gradient representation. Accented image data for the accented image is then generated from data including the combined gradient representation.
