  • Patent number: 10217218
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method converts two images to a transform representation in a transform domain. For each spatial position, the method examines coefficients representing a neighborhood of the spatial position that is spatially the same across each of the two images. The method calculates a first vector in the transform domain based on first coefficients representing the spatial position, the first vector representing change from a first to second image of the two images describing deformation. The method modifies the first vector to create a second vector in the transform domain representing amplified movement at the spatial position between the first and second images. The method calculates second coefficients based on the second vector of the transform domain. From the second coefficients, the method generates an output image showing motion amplified according to the second vector for each spatial position between the first and second images.

  • Patent number: 9811901
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of amplifying temporal variation in at least two images comprises examining pixel values of the at least two images. The temporal variation of the pixel values between the at least two images can be below a particular threshold. The method can further include applying signal processing to the pixel values.

  • Patent number: 9805475
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of amplifying temporal variation in at least two images includes converting two or more images to a transform representation. The method further includes, for each spatial position within the two or more images, examining a plurality of coefficient values. The method additionally includes calculating a first vector based on the plurality of coefficient values. The first vector can represent change from a first image to a second image of the at least two images describing deformation. The method also includes modifying the first vector to create a second vector. The method further includes calculating a second plurality of coefficients based on the second vector.

  • Publication number: 20140267919
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to process certain information contained in a digital video signal. In particular, a time-varying signal present in the digit video signal may be supplanted with a replacement time-varying signal, negated, or obfuscated with a noise signal. Negation of the time-varying signal may include extracting said time-varying signal from the digital video signal, inverting the time-varying signal, and adding the inverted time-varying signal to the original digital video signal. Obfuscation of the time-varying signal may be accomplished by introducing a suitable noise signal to the original digital video signal. Supplanting the time-varying signal with a replacement signal may include negating the time-varying signal and introducing a desired replacement signal to the digital video signal.
