  • Publication number: 20200126243
    Abstract: A method including receiving an image of a scene illuminated by both a predetermined structured light pattern and a flood fill illumination, generating an active brightness image of the scene based on the received image of the scene including detecting a plurality of dots of the predetermined structured light pattern, and removing the plurality of dots of the predetermined structured light pattern from the active brightness image, and generating a depth map of the scene based on the received image and the active brightness image.

  • Patent number: 7675652
    Abstract: A method is provided for correcting undesired eye color in a digital image. Color information from the digital image is used to identify an orthogonal color channel. The orthogonal color channel is a channel corresponding to a color that is orthogonal to the undesired color. Information from the orthogonal color channel is used to perform channel mixing. The channel mixing is selectively applied to the original digital image using a masking effect to retain certain portions of the original image and replace certain portions of the original image with the channel-mixed image. This method achieves natural-looking black pupils and preserves specular reflections to conceal the fact that the digital image has been corrected.

  • Patent number: 7656415
    Abstract: A system, a method and computer-readable media for aggregating curves. An aggregated curve is generated by associating input values from a first curve with output values from a second curve. This aggregated curve may be used, for example, to apply multiple curve effects to a digital image.
