  • System and Method for Probabilistic Object Tracking Over Time
    Publication number: 20160026245
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for object tracking in a scene over time. The method comprises obtaining tracking data from a tracking device, the tracking data comprising information associated with at least one point of interest being tracked; obtaining position data from a scene information provider, the scene being associated with a plurality of targets, the position data corresponding to targets in the scene; applying a probabilistic graphical model to the tracking data and the target data to predict a target of interest associated with an entity being tracked; and performing at least one of: using the target of interest to determine a refined point of interest; and outputting at least one of the refined point of interest and the target of interest.

  • High dynamic range codecs
    Patent number: 9210439
    Abstract: A method for encoding high dynamic range (HDR) images involves providing a lower dynamic range (LDR) image, generating a prediction function for estimating the values for pixels in the HDR image based on the values of corresponding pixels in the LDR image, and obtaining a residual frame based on differences between the pixel values of the HDR image and estimated pixel values. The LDR image, prediction function and residual frame can all be encoded in data from which either the LDR image of HDR image can be recreated.

  • Apparatus and method for rendering high dynamic range images for standard dynamic range display
    Patent number: 8330768
    Abstract: The method, system and apparatus embodiments of the present invention provide for rendering original images having high dynamic range into display images having lower dynamic range while retaining a visual quality of rendered images comparable to the original or reference images. Tone-mapping parameters are applied to the display images and are iteratively adjusted in order to reduce the differences between the conditioned original image and the conditioned display image.
