Abstract: A method for managing an image memory in an embedded device is provided. A node is obtained from a linked list of the image memory. It is judged whether valid data is present in a memory block corresponding to the node. When no valid data is present, it is judged whether valid data is present in a memory block corresponding to a previous node of the node. When valid data is present in the previous node, it is further judged whether the valid data is movable. When the valid data is movable, memory block information described in the two nodes is exchanged, and the valid data previously stored in the memory block corresponding to the previous node is moved to the memory block corresponding to the node.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a backlight module. The backlight module includes a light guide plate and a light bar. The light guide plate includes a light incident surface, and the light bar is adjacent to the light incident surface. The light bar includes a printed circuit board and a plurality of point light sources alternately located on the printed circuit board. Each point light source includes an illuminator and an encapsulation apparatus. The encapsulation apparatus encapsulates the illuminator and fixes the light guide plate for limiting a distance between the light incident surface and the illuminator. The present disclosure also provides a liquid crystal display employing the backlight module.

Abstract: A system and method for correcting image data. Embodiments of the present invention provide image correction to overcome various lens effects, optical crosstalk, and electrical crosstalk. In one embodiment, the method includes accessing, within an electronic system, a plurality of control points for a patch of a spline surface and calculating a plurality of intermediate control points corresponding to a row of pixels of the patch. The method further includes receiving a pixel of an image and correcting the pixel based on the plurality of intermediate control points in streaming scanline column-wise or row-wise order.

Abstract: A system and method for correcting image data. Embodiments of the present invention provide calibration and image correction to overcome various lens effects including lens shading and lens imperfections. In one embodiment, the correction of image data is performed via utilization of a spline surface (e.g., Bezier surface). The use of spline surfaces facilitates efficient hardware implementation. The image correction may be performed on a per channel and illumination type basis. In another embodiment, the present invention provides a method for determine a spline surface to be used for calibrating an image signal processor to be used in correcting image data.

Abstract: A flicker band automated detection system and method are presented. In one embodiment an incidental motion mitigation exposure setting method includes receiving image input information; performing a motion mitigating flicker band automatic detection process; and implementing exposure settings based upon results of the motion mitigating flicker band automatic detection process. The auto flicker band detection process includes performing a motion mitigating process on an illumination intensity indication. Content impacts on an the motion mitigated illumination intensity indication are minimized. The motion mitigated illumination intensity indication is binarized. A correlation of the motion mitigated illumination intensity and a reference illumination intensity frequency is established.

Abstract: Techniques for per-channel image intensity correction includes linear interpolation of each channel of spectral data to generate corrected spectral data.
