Patents by Inventor Jarkko Pekkarinen

Jarkko Pekkarinen has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20170295317
    Abstract: In one example, digital image frames are accessed, each of the digital image frames having an associated control value for an automatic image capture processing function. A measure of information content change is determined for a current digital image frame relative to at least one previous digital image frame. A measure of information content reliability with respect to the automatic image capture processing function is determined for the current digital image frame. The control value associated with the current digital image frame is corrected based on the determined measure of information content change and the determined measure of information content reliability. A final control value for the automatic image capture processing function is output based on corrected control values for one or more digital image frames.

  • Publication number: 20160366331
    Abstract: A device and a method for dynamically correcting camera module sensitivity variation using face data are disclosed. The method includes accessing a digital image frame of a scene where the digital image frame originates from a camera module. In response to detection of a face area in the digital image frame, a face chromaticity is calculated from the face area detected in the digital image frame by a processor. The method further includes determining a lighting condition at the scene associated with the digital image frame. Further, the method includes comparing the face chromaticity with a reference face chromaticity associated with the lighting condition to determine a chromaticity gain shift. Thereafter, the method includes correcting a gray point curve of the camera module based on the chromaticity gain shift to obtain a corrected gray point curve of the camera module.
