  • Patent number: 4781435
    Abstract: Method for the binocular stereoscopic moving image representation of image scenes sensed with relative movement between a single monocular imaging sensor and a scene area, in particular aerial image scenes. The method uses left and right frames for said representation which are sensed at different times during said relative movement. For the continuous stereoscopic representation of almost the whole image the frames are each combined from parts of at least three consecutive sensed images of an image sequence overlapping in pairs. The parts of the at least three images are rectified under consideration of the geometric parameters of the actually sensed images such that the image scale for said parts is equal. The method is also applicable if sensed images are transmitted from said imaging sensor with a reduced frame rate and by imaging-adapted interpolation and/or extrapolation on the basis of two transmitted images.

  • Patent number: 4710809
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the representation of video image sequences or scenes with a relative movement between a pick-up sensor and the viewed scene, such scenes being transmitted at reduced frame rate. By interpolation and/or extrapolation on the basis of two transmitted frames intermediate frames are generated on the receiving end of the transmission line and inserted into the transmitted frame sequence. The positions of image points (pels) which are identical in the two transmitted images are determined from the relationship of the pel positions for at least two identical pels on different vertical and horizontal coordinates in each of the two transmitted frames. Before reconstruction of the intermediate frames the mean brightness values for limited picture areas which represent the environment of at least one of the corresponding pels in two successive transmitted frames are determined.

  • Patent number: 4496972
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for the representation of video images or scenes, in particular aerial images with a relative movement between a pick-up sensor and the scene transmitted at reduced frame rate. Intermediate frames are reconstructed to be inserted between two transmitted frames, said reproduction starting from a small number of distinct corresponding reference points in the two transmitted frames, said reference points being situated in different vertical and horizontal coordinates within each of said two transmitted frames, and being determined by correlation of image point location within said transmitted frames calculating for each picture element in said intermediate frames the locations of the corresponding picture elements in each of said two transmitted frames and determining the value of the intensity for each picture element of said intermediate frame by interpolation and/or extrapolation and issuing said value.
