Patent number: 8243056Abstract: Method for determining a disparity value of a disparity of each of a plurality of points on an object, the method including the procedures of detecting by a single image detector, a first image of the object through a first aperture, and a second image of the object through a second aperture, correcting the distortion of the first image, and the distortion of the second image, by applying an image distortion correction model to the first image and to the second image, respectively, thereby producing a first distortion-corrected image and a second distortion-corrected image, respectively, for each of a plurality of pixels in at least a portion of the first distortion-corrected image representing a selected one of the points, identifying a matching pixel in the second distortion-corrected image, and determining the disparity value according to the coordinates of each of the pixels and of the respective matching pixel.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2011Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: Visionsense Ltd.Inventors: Meir Bar-Zohar, Avi Yaron

Patent number: 4575754Abstract: A video signal is scrambled by partitioning the signal into blocks of segments, reversing the sequence of segments in each block, randomly delaying the reversed segments and reversing the sequence of the randomly delayed segments. The double reversal of the block segment sequence results in a scrambled signal of high security but which may be unscrambled by a decoder having a complementary random delay characteristic and a total segment storage capacity which is less than that of the scrambler and also less than the maximum line-to-line interchange of the segments within each block. Selection of segment lengths provides inter-line or intra-line block scrambling.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 1983Date of Patent: March 11, 1986Assignee: RCA CorporationInventor: Meir Bar-Zohar
