  • Apparatus and method for forming and displaying high dynamic range (HDR) images
    Patent number: 8723961
    Abstract: Apparatus and method of forming and displaying high dynamic range (HDR) images for various purposes including the testing of image capture devices, such as cameras. A display device has a display panel carrying a plurality of rendered images formed from image data of a scene. At least one light source is used to illuminate the rendered images on the display panel. When the rendered images are aligned with one another and illuminated by the light source, the rendered images are capable of forming a display image having a dynamic range higher than those of the rendered images.

  • Method and apparatus providing adaptive noise suppression
    Patent number: 7756355
    Abstract: A method of reducing noise in an image including steps for obtaining a first value for a target pixel, obtaining a respective second value for each neighboring pixel surrounding the target pixel, identifying a spread for the second values, comparing the spread to a threshold value, and, if the spread if below the threshold value, calculating a new value using the second values, and replacing the first value with the new value.
