  • Publication number: 20240046435
    Abstract: An image processing device and method for converting an input image having a first dynamic range into an output image having a second dynamic range higher than the first dynamic range are provided. The image processing device includes a mapping unit for transforming an input luminance value associated with a pixel of the input image into an output luminance value associated with the corresponding pixel in the output image. The mapping unit is configured to apply a continuous and increasing function mapping a first range of values into a second range of values, whereby the highest value in the first range of values is mapped by the continuous and increasing function into a supremum of the second range of values. The mapping unit is configured to adjust the supremum depending on a peak luminance.

  • Publication number: 20230050498
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for converting an input image comprising an input luminance component made of elements into an output image comprising an output luminance component made of elements, the respective ranges of the output luminance component values and input luminance component element values being of different range extension. the method comprises for the input image: computing a value of a general variable representative of at least two input luminance component element values; transforming each input luminance component element value into a corresponding output luminance component element value according to the computed general variable value; and converting the input image using the determined output luminance component element values.

  • Patent number: 9838114
    Abstract: For determining equalization parameters for performing equalization for optical signals transmitted by a first device to a second device via an optical band-pass filter, the second device being configured for receiving optical signals output by said optical band-pass filter and transmitted by the first device on a carrier wavelength when said carrier wavelength is comprised in the passband of the optical band-pass filter, said carrier wavelength and/or said passband of the optical band-pass filter being a priori unknown, a monitoring device performs: determining information representative of a level of detuning between the carrier wavelength of the optical signals and the nominal wavelength of the optical band-pass filter; and determining said equalization parameters, on the basis of said determined information representative of the level of detuning between the carrier wavelength of the optical signals and the nominal wavelength of the optical band-pass filter.

  • Patent number: 9455781
    Abstract: A method for determining whether a configuration of an optical transmission interface of a first device has to be adjusted for transmitting an optical signal to a second device via an optical band-pass filter, the second device including an optical reception interface configured to enable receiving optical signals output by said optical band-pass filter and transmitted by the first device on a carrier wavelength when the carrier wavelength is in the passband of the optical band-pass filter. A monitoring device performs: obtaining an information representative of a time drift between successive symbols of an optical signal received by the second device, from the first device, via the optical band-pass filter; and determining whether the configuration of the optical transmission interface of the first device has to be adjusted, on the basis of the information representative of the time drift.

  • Patent number: 7787722
    Abstract: A Passive Optical Network (PON) comprises at least a first sub-network (16) with a first Optical Line Terminal (4) and a first set of Optical Network Units (8, 12), a second sub-network (18) with a second Optical Line Terminal (6) and a second set of Optical Network Units (8) interconnected to a same splitter (14). In downlink direction from Optical Line Terminals to Optical Network Units, each sub-network uses a different wavelength (?1, ?2) and in uplink direction all ONUs (8, 10, 12) are able to access all Optical Line Terminals through an uplink TDMA access by using one single wavelength (?3).
