  • Patent number: 10348961
    Abstract: A camera modeling system. The camera modeling system includes: a vanishing point detecting module configured to detect, from at least one reference detection object existing in a detection region, a first vanishing point and a second vanishing point; a view mode determining module configured to determine a camera view mode on the basis of a distance from a first position in the detection region to the first vanishing point and a distance from the first position to the second vanishing point; and a camera modeling module configured to select a camera modeling mode corresponding to the determined camera view mode and perform camera modeling through the selected camera modeling mode.

  • Patent number: 9978155
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for counting a number of persons in an image are provided. The person counting apparatus includes: a detector configured to detect a movement area in a top-view distance image, of at least one image frame, providing distance information; an estimator configured to estimate a candidate head area from the movement area based on the distance information; and a determiner configured to determine whether the candidate head area is an actual head of a person based on a similarity to a circle of the candidate head area and a spherical curvature of the candidate head area estimated from the distance information about the candidate head area.

  • Patent number: 8081838
    Abstract: The present invention provides two-scale tone management of an input image. A method of providing two-scale tone management contains the steps of: separating the input image into a base layer and a detail layer; separating a model image into a base layer and a detail layer; analyzing the input image globally for global contrast; analyzing the input image locally for local contrast; and performing detail preservation of the input image. A system contains a memory and a processor, where the processor is configured by the memory to perform the steps of: separating the input image into a base layer and a detail layer; separating a model image into a base layer and a detail layer; analyzing the input image globally for global contrast; analyzing the input image locally for local contrast; and performing detail preservation of the input image.

  • Patent number: 7945107
    Abstract: The present invention provides gradient preservation of an input image. A method of providing gradient preservation of an input image, comprises the steps of: computing gradient fields of the input image; computing gradient fields of a remapped image, wherein the remapped image is the input image remapped; comparing a gradient of the remapped image to a predefined range of acceptable values, wherein the acceptable values depend on the input gradient; changing values of the gradient of the remapped image if the values of the gradient of the remapped image are not within the predefined range of acceptable values depending on the input gradient, resulting in x and y components of a modified gradient; and reconstructing the input image using the x and y components of the modified gradient.
