Patent number: 10185927Abstract: Techniques are provided herein for utilizing an inventory engine to optimize the selection of a set of items to be stored as inventory at a storage location. A candidate set of items may be identified based at least in part on a selection model. In accordance with at least one embodiment, the selection model may be based at least in part on a capacity of the storage location and a threshold time duration by which purchased items of the set of items are to be transported from the storage location to a purchaser. A plurality of probability values corresponding to the candidate set of items may be determined. An optimal set of items may be determined based at least in part on the candidate set of items and the plurality of probability values.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2015Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Tolga Han Seyhan, Ali Sadighian, Salal Humair, Jialei Rong, Haiyun Wang, Deepak Bhatia, Zhihao Chen, Abid Kapadya, Julie Wei-Shu Chang

Patent number: 8811766Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining the perceptibility of noise in a block of images and/or video. The systems and methods may compute a mask value for the block using a block masking generator. The mask value may indicate the perceptibility of noise in the block. The mask value may be computed using a normalized activity value and/or a texture value for the block. The normalized activity value may indicate the relative activity in the block as compared to the activity in the image and/or video. The texture value may indicate the strength and/or number of edges in the block.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2011Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignees: STMicroelectronics Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd., STMicroelectronics (Shenzhen) R&D Co., Ltd.Inventors: Anna Raffalli, Haiyun Wang, Lucas Hui, Patricia Wei Yin Chiang

Patent number: 8781248Abstract: The appearance of image details can be preserved and/or enhanced by applying contrast adaptive gain to the high spatial frequency component of the luminance information. The image details in bright and/or dark regions can be further boosted by applying a local mean adaptive gain. The contrast transfer mapping curve for luminance contrast enhancement can be re-scaled to account for the applied gain. The re-scaling may be performed from frame to frame of displayed video. The re-scaling may be temporally controlled for subsequent frames to make the re-scaling change gradually to prevent flickering.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2010Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: STMicroelectronics Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Haiyun Wang, Lucas Hui

Patent number: 8731323Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for identifying and removing banding artifacts (i.e., false contours) resulting from insufficient bit depth caused by digital image quantization, conversion, and/or compression. This method includes: explicitly identifying texture block and flat block; de-termination of filter window sizes with the consideration of handling transitions between texture block and flat block; de-banding filtering with edge protection; and noise shaping according to de-banding filter result.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2011Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: STMicroelectronics Asia Pacific Pte Ltd.Inventors: Haiyun Wang, Lucas Hui

Publication number: 20120133836Abstract: A frame level noise estimate for an image can be determined. An image processor includes a high pass filter unit configured to perform high-pass spatial filtering of image data for first and second frames to produce high-pass spatially filtered information for the first frame and the second frame. A cumulative histogram generator is configured to analyze the high-pass spatially filtered information for the first frame and the second frame to produce a first cumulative histogram for the first frame and a second cumulative histogram for the second frame. A comparator is configured to determine a difference value between the first and second cumulative histograms. A mapping unit is configured to determine an estimated noise value based on the difference value.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2010Publication date: May 31, 2012Applicant: STMicroelectronics Asia Pacific Pte.

A method of video image processing is also described that interpolates video images to generate the video images with sharp and jaggedness-free edges. The video image processing system receives and makes input image data available for further processing; analyzes the local features of the input image data; filters the input image data before performing interpolation process; modifies the phase value adaptive to the local edge distance; rescales the input image data in horizontal interpolation using the modified phase value; and rescales the horizontally interpolated image data in vertical interpolation using modified phase value.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2009Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignees: STMicroelectronics SA, STMicroelectronics Asia Pacific Pte., Ltd.Inventors: Yong Huang, Fritz Lebowsky, Haiyun Wang, Lucas Hui
