  • Patent number: 11301970
    Abstract: An image processing method acquires an image, restores a saturated region in which a pixel in the image has a first reference value based on a first illuminance component of the image, enhances a dark region in which a value of a pixel in the image is less than a second reference value based on the restored saturated region and the first illuminance component, and outputs a dark region-enhanced image.

  • Patent number: 9501723
    Abstract: A method for classifying objects in a scene captured by a camera determines a likelihood of first set of states for the objects. Each first set is a classification of one of the objects, and partitions a solution space based on the determined likelihood of the first set of states, each partition representing combinations of the classifications of the objects. The partitioning is applied to a solution space of a second set of states, each partition representing combinations of the classifications of a subset of the objects. The method determines a likelihood of the second set of states for the subset of the objects, each state of the second set of states being a classification of one of the subset of objects, and classifies a subset of objects according to the determined likelihood of the second set of states and the partitioning of the second set of states.
