  • Patent number: 8406563
    Abstract: A photometric calibration method includes: obtaining a target image and a reference image by a light field camera and transforming the reference image into a revised target image corresponding to the target image; calculating a photometric calibration ratio according to a function for correlating the target image and the revised target image by using a numerical algorithm; and the intensity of the target image is divided by the photometric calibration ratio to obtain a calibrated target image. A light field of a scene is formed by all of the calibrated target image so as to improve the quality of the light field.

  • Publication number: 20080159292
    Abstract: A method of routing a data packet in a communication system includes receiving a data packet at a first communication party operating in accordance with a first protocol. The method also includes adding a header to the data packet to produce modified data packet, the header including an identifier identifying the first protocol, first protocol information, an identifier identifying a second protocol, and second protocol information, and then sending the modified data packet to a second communication party operating in accordance with the second protocol through a first connection.
