  • Publication number: 20230267579
    Abstract: A method for inverse tone mapping by obtaining a gain function, called initial gain function, of a first inverse tone mapping function; if an analysis of a current image shows that at least a pixel of the current image with a luminance value at least equal to a luminance value depending of a predetermined percentage of the pixels of the current image have an expanded luminance value resulting from an application of the first ITM function to the current image higher than a target value, applying a second ITM function to the current image, the second ITM function corresponding to the first inverse tone mapping function in which the gain function has been replaced by a modified gain function derived from the initial gain function in which a gain provided by the initial gain function is attenuated by an attenuation function, said attenuation function being weighted by a weighting factor controlling a strength of the attenuation, the weighting factor depending on a statistical distribution of luminance values in a

  • Publication number: 20230017160
    Abstract: A method for inverse tone mapping includes obtaining a histogram of a low dynamic range image, called LDR image and obtaining an ITMO function, allowing obtaining a pixel value of a High Dynamic Range image, called HDR image, from a pixel value of the LDR image and a gain function depending on said pixel value of the LDR image. A search process is applied using the obtained histogram to identify areas of the LDR image producing bright areas in the HDR image when the ITMO function is applied on said LDR image. Information representative of the bright areas is used to determine when modifying the gain function to ensure the HDR image respects at least one predefined light energy constraint.

  • Publication number: 20200402643
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a personalized cognitive treatment recommendation for an individual. The system includes one or more processors; and a memory to store processor-executable instructions. Upon execution of the instructions, the one or more processors receive parameters for at least one cognitive treatment tool; receive physiological data indicative of a condition of the individual, and/or clinical data associated with the individual; and generate the personalized cognitive treatment recommendation based on the physiological data and/or the clinical data. The recommendation includes a specification of (i) at least one first cognitive treatment tool, (ii) at least one second cognitive treatment tool different from the at least one first cognitive treatment tool, or (iii) both (i) and (ii). Optionally, the one or more processors receive performance data indicative of the individual's performance of at least one task associated with the at least one cognitive treatment tool of the recommendation.

  • Patent number: 10148906
    Abstract: Aspects of present principles are directed to methods and apparatus for tone mapping a high dynamic range image. The apparatus includes a processor for performing the following and the method includes the following: obtaining a luminance component of the high dynamic range image; determining an HDR to HDR tone mapper curve; determining a tone compressed image by applying the HDR to HDR tone mapper curve to the luminance component of the high dynamic range image; wherein the HDR to HDR tone mapper curve comprises a first part for dark and mid-tone levels, and a second part for highlights.

  • Patent number: 10127640
    Abstract: The present principles relate to a method and a device for reducing noise in a component of a picture. The method includes obtaining a low-pass filtered component by low-pass filtering the component of the picture, for a current pixel in the component of the picture. For at least one current neighboring pixel of the current pixel, computing a distance, relative to the current neighboring pixel, between the value of the current pixel in the low-pass filtered component and the value of the current neighboring pixel in the low-pass filtered component. When the distances relative to the at least one neighboring pixels of the current pixel are lower than a first threshold, modifying the value of the current pixel in said component of the picture according to a linear combination of the value of the current pixel in the component of the picture and the value of the current pixel in the low-pass filtered component.

  • Patent number: 8720818
    Abstract: A thrust reverser for a double-flow nacelle that has a cowling, with the thrust reverser having an internal door and an external door designed to be made within the thickness of the cowling. The reverser also has means for simultaneously displacing the doors between a first position called the rest position, in which the doors are integrated into the cowling so as to form an aerodynamic continuity with the external wall and the internal wall of the cowling, and a second active position, in which the doors are open so that the internal and external doors extend toward the inside and toward the outside of the nacelle, respectively, thus at least partially blocking the annular channel of the secondary flow, to deflect the secondary flow and to generate a thrust reversal, with the means being designed to be received in a compartment arranged inside the cowling formed by the doors in the rest position.
