Scott James Daly has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Methods and systems for enhancing display characteristics with high frequency contrast enhancement
    Patent number: 8922594
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention comprise systems, methods and devices for increasing the perceived brightness of an image. In some embodiments this increase compensates for a decrease in display light-source illumination.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 15, 2005
    Date of Patent: December 30, 2014
    Assignee: Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc.
    Inventors: Louis Joseph Kerofsky, Scott James Daly
  • Methods and systems for enhancing display characteristics with frequency-specific gain
    Patent number: 8913089
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention comprise systems, methods and devices for increasing the perceived brightness of an image. In some embodiments this increase compensates for a decrease in display light source illumination.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 16, 2014
    Assignee: Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc.
    Inventors: Louis Joseph Kerofsky, Scott James Daly
  • 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.

  • Bit-depth extension with models of equivalent input visual noise
    Patent number: 7450181
    Abstract: A method for extending bit-depth of display systems. The method includes creating pseudo-random noise from human visual system noise. When applied to the image data, the noise causes spatiotemporal dithering. The pseudo-random noise is combined with image data, producing noise-compensated image data. The noise-compensated image data is them quantized.
