  • Patent number: 9607365
    Abstract: The invention provides median image media quality enhancer. The image media is fed into a computing device which is essentially a burst of images or video to be enhanced. Each frame within the image media is identically exposed and hence neighboring images are used to enhance quality of the image media. For each of the neighboring frames, each pixel of these neighboring frame is moved in order to correspond to the image media. Once all the neighboring frames are processed, these are stacked in order to increase signal to noise ratio to create a composite image. This reduces unwanted spots and luminosity fluctuation from the digitized video.

  • Patent number: 6108133
    Abstract: The device has a stabilization mirror that is angularly steerable about two mutually orthogonal axes, and an optical system for splitting an incoming light beam into at least two channels corresponding to different wavelengths. The stabilization mirror is steerable about a first axis (L) on internal equipment that is itself steerable about a second axis (I) orthogonal to the first and intersecting in an assembly that is steerable on a support about a third axis (C). A servo-control system has a gyroscopic sensor tied to the mirror and controlling steering motors. The system further includes, upstream from the stabilization mirror, and on the path of an incoming beam, a purely catoptric optical system that is stabilized, giving the inlet beam a size on the mirror that is smaller than the size of the inlet pupil of the system.
