Publication number: 20130335524Abstract: The invention relates to a method of obtaining a stereoscopic signal from a sequence of monoscopic images. The method includes a step of obtaining a sequence of monoscopic images having been captured by an image acquisition apparatus in an acquisition mode enabling several images to be shot in the course of a regular movement substantially tangential to the plane of the lens of the acquisition apparatus. That step is followed by a step of forming pairs of images from the sequence of images, each pair being formed on the basis of a predetermined temporal distance then a step of calibrating the images of the pairs formed, so as to improve the visual correspondence between the two images. Finally, a stereoscopic signal is constructed from the pairs so calibrated.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2013Publication date: December 19, 2013Applicant: CANON RESEARCH CENTRE FRANCEInventors: Maryline Clare, Christophe Gisquet, Felix Henry

Patent number: 8230103Abstract: A method of access by a client computer to a digital image stored on a server computer via a communication network, the digital image being represented by sets of digital data associated respectively with various blocks (Bi) and various resolution levels (Rj) of the image or with various blocks (Bi) and various quality levels (Qk) of the image, comprises a step (E47) of identifying a set of data to be acquired, a step (E48) of calculating the size in bits (b) of the set of data to be acquired, a step (E49) of comparing a number of acquired data bits (B) incremented by the calculated size (b) with a predetermined bit threshold value (S), and a step (E52) of acquiring the set of data identified if the number of data bits acquired incremented by the calculated size (B+b) is less than the predetermined bit threshold value (S). Has particular use for limiting free access to a digital image.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2005Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: FĂ©lix Henry, Maryline Clare

Patent number: 7466865Abstract: The invention relates to a method of analyzing at least one video sequence present on at least one sending apparatus, in a communication network also comprising at least one receiving apparatus, wherein, the video sequence being compressed with an encoding method which generates a bitstream comprising information representing the temporal activity of the images of the video sequence and information representing the spatial activity of the images of that video sequence, and the temporal and spatial information being distributed between one or more spatio-temporal hierarchical levels, the method comprises the following steps performed at the receiving apparatus: obtaining information representing the temporal activity of the video sequence present on the sending apparatus, analyzing the temporal information obtained, as a function of the result of the analysis, deciding whether the generation of a request destined for the sending apparatus for the obtainment of information representing the spatial activity of tType: GrantFiled: February 13, 2004Date of Patent: December 16, 2008Assignee: Canon Europa, N.V.Inventors: Xavier Henocq, Maryline Clare

Publication number: 20060036383Abstract: The invention relates to a method of obtaining a stereoscopic signal from a sequence of monoscopic images. The method firstly comprises a step (S10) of obtaining a sequence of monoscopic images having been captured by an image acquisition apparatus in an acquisition mode enabling several images to be shot in the course of a regular movement substantially tangential to the plane of the lens of the acquisiton apparatus. That step is followed by a step (S31) of forming pairs of images from the sequence of images, each pair being formed on the basis of a predetermined temporal distance then a step of calibrating (S32) the images of the pairs formed, so as to improve the visual correspondence between the two images; Finally, a stereoscopic signal is constructed (S33) from the pairs so calibrated.
