  • Method and system for enhancing data quality
    Patent number: 7151801
    Abstract: The quality (e.g., resolution) of image data, video data, and sound data representing a scene or signal is enhanced by a quality enhancement function trained on high quality and low quality representations of a portion of the same scene or signal. The enhancement function is thus optimized to the most relevant input. A training algorithm uses low quality image of a scene or scene portion, along with a high quality image of the same scene or scene portion, to optimize the parameters of a quality enhancement function. The optimized enhancement function is then used to enhance other low quality images of the scene or scene portion. Sound data is enhanced by using a low resolution sample of a portion of a signal, and a high resolution sample of the same signal portion, to train a quality enhancement function which is then used to enhance the remainder of the signal.

  • Method and apparatus for providing services on a dynamically addressed network
    Publication number: 20020163889
    Abstract: DART dynamically assigns addresses to Nodes according to their relative location within the network. When a Node joins or moves the network, or a Link or Node fails addresses are dynamically updated. If some Nodes are mobile (either clients or servers) the ability to route to and from the mobile Node persists. Link failures, caused by movement, or otherwise, can be similarly accommodated.

  • Method and apparatus for the exchange of data between a dynamically addressed network and a foreign network
    Publication number: 20020031131
