  • Patent number: 11109010
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically optimizing pairs of stereo images are presented. Pixels in an image pair are reprojected from their raw format to a common pixel-space coordinate system. The image pair is masked to remove pixels that do not appear in both images. Each image undergoes a local enhancement process. The local enhancements are processed into a global enhancement for each image of the image pair. A factor is calculated to balance the left and right images with each other. A brightness factor for the image pair is calculated. The enhancements, including the balancing and brightness factors, are then mapped to their respective images.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20070289231
    Abstract: A window for absorbing sunlight heat in warm weather that otherwise would flow uncontrolled therethrough and discharging the sunlight heat to the atmosphere while permitting relatively unobstructed vision therethrough and passing the sunlight heat in cold weather therethrough for thermal warming. The window includes a frame, an inner pane, an outer pane, and a heat sink. The inner pane is pivotally mounted to the frame. The outer pane is affixed to the frame and spaced from the inner pane so as to form a space therebetween.
