  • Method and Apparatus for Dynamic Image Content Manipulation
    Publication number: 20180302574
    Abstract: A sample key signal frame and/or a sample image frame may be stored showing a finely-detailed element at a first resolution (e.g. a zoomed-in image). A current image signal includes the same finely-detailed element at a second, lower, resolution (e.g. a wide-angle image). The sample is scaled and/or transformed to match a target area within the current image and may be used to perform an image enhancement process which enhances the detailed element within an enhanced modified image frame. Thus, a more photo-realistic image is achieved.

  • Method and apparatus for dynamic image content manipulation
    Patent number: 10027905
    Abstract: A sample key signal frame (602) and/or a sample image frame (601) may be stored showing a finely detailed element (101) at a first resolution (e.g. a zoomed-in image). A current image signal (71) includes the same finely-detailed element (101) at a second, lower, resolution (e.g. a wide-angle image). The sample (601, 602) is scaled and/or transformed to match a target area (10,14) within the current image (71), and may be used to perform an image enhancement process which enhances the detailed element (101) within an enhanced modified image frame (74). Thus, a more photo-realistic image is achieved.
