  • BURN-IN REMOVAL FROM FULL MOTION VIDEO IMAGERY FOR VIDEO EXPLOITATION
    Publication number: 20220245773
    Abstract: The system and method of removing burn-in from full motion video (FMV) imagery. In some cases, the technique is a pre-processing step in a forensic or military application. The system and method identify one or more burn-in overlay areas in a full motion video image and creates a mask of the one or more burn-in overlay areas. Matched intensities are created for a plurality of pixels in a mask. In some cases, in-painting is used in a center portion of the full motion video image and order-filtering in used on a periphery of the full motion video image to create the matched intensities.

  • Automated rib ordering and pairing
    Patent number: 8571285
    Abstract: Ribs are automatically ordered and paired. After ordering ribs on each side, magnetic and spring functions are used to solve for rib pairing. The magnetic function is used to constrain possible pairs across sides, and the spring function is used to maintain the order on each side while accounting for missing or fused ribs.
