Patent number: 11921272Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described including a sample carrier (22) configured to carry a portion of a bodily sample, at least a portion of the sample carrier being configured to fluoresce, at least under certain conditions. An optical measurement device (24) performs optical measurements upon the portion of the bodily sample that is housed within the sample carrier (22), and at least partially photobleaches an area within the portion of the sample carrier (22) by causing the area to fluoresce. By detecting that the area within the portion of the sample carrier (22) has been photobleached, an output is generated indicating that at least a portion of the sample carrier (22) is contaminated or that optical measurements cannot be performed on the portion of the sample carrier (22), or the optical measurement device (24) is prevented from performing optical measurements upon a sample portion housed within the given portion of the sample carrier (22).Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2018Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: S.D.

Patent number: 11902559Abstract: Techniques are provided for generation of secure video and tamper detection of the secure video. A methodology implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes selecting a subset of macroblocks from a video frame to be transmitted and calculating a low frequency metric on each of the selected macroblocks. The method also includes performing a hash calculation on the low frequency metrics to generate a frame signature; encrypting the frame signature (using a private key) to generate an encrypted watermark; and modifying pixels of each of the selected macroblocks to generate the secured video frame, the modifications based on bits of the encrypted watermark that are associated with the selected macroblock.

Patent number: 10735769Abstract: Techniques related to temporal noise reduction in captured video are discussed. Such techniques include performing motion estimation on a portion of a downsampled current frame performed during the downsampling of the current frame, replacing one or more of the resultant motion vectors based on confidence scores of the resultant motion vector, and blending the current frame and a temporally previous frame to generate a temporally filtered current frame.

Patent number: 10237528Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards enabling digital cameras to create a 3D view, which can be re-rendered onto any object within a scene, so that it is both in focus and a center of perspective, based on capturing a single set of multiple 2D images of the scene. From capturing a single set of 2D images for a scene, a depth map of the scene may be generated, and used to calculate principal depths, which are then used to capture an image focused at each of the principal depths. A correspondence between a 2D image of the scene and the principal depths are determined that corresponds to a specific principal depth. For different coordinates of the 2D image, different 3D views of the scene are created that are each focused at a principal dept that corresponds to the given coordinate.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Meir Tzur, Noam Levy

Patent number: 9307165Abstract: A camera that provides for a panorama mode of operation that stitches together two or more images to create a single image with a wide format. In panorama mode, a live view of a scene is transformed from rectangular coordinates to cylindrical coordinates and displayed by the camera. Also, an overlap portion between the previous image and the next image to be captured is characterized. In real time, after the previous image is captured, the overlap portion of the previous image is also transformed from rectangular coordinates into cylindrical coordinates. Next, the camera displays an overlay of at least a portion of the overlap portion onto the live view of the next image to be captured. And this overlay can assist the user in aligning the live view of the next image to be captured with the overlap portion of the previously captured image.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2009Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Noam Levy

Patent number: 9275464Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards determining within a digital camera whether a pixel belongs to a foreground or background segment within a given image by evaluating a ratio of derivative and deviation metrics in an area around each pixel in the image, or ratios of derivative metrics across a plurality of images. For each pixel within the image, a block of pixels are examined to determine an aggregate relative derivative (ARD) in the block. The ARD is compared to a threshold value to determine whether the pixel is to be assigned in the foreground segment or the background segment. In one embodiment, a single image is used to determine the ARD and the pixel segmentation for that image. Multiple images may also be used to obtain ratios of a numerator of the ARD, useable to determine an extent of the foreground.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2014Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Noam Levy
