Patent number: 11776265Abstract: A computerized apparatus for creating a highlight video, including an interface for charting an event by recording information in regard to the event, where the event information is associated with time codes. A camera captures video of the event, where the video is associated with the time codes. The interface also creates triggers including lists of at least one action. An input/output uploads the event information, video, and triggers to a server. A processor produces entries in an action log from the event information, compares the entries in the action log to the triggers to determine if any of the entries in the action log match any of the triggers, collects the time codes of those entries that match the triggers, creates video clips from the video of the event, based on the collected time codes, and compiles the video clips into the highlight video.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: CSR Lab, LLCInventors: Christopher M. Clark, Stephen E. Johnson, Robert J. Corsi

Patent number: 7925083Abstract: A system and method for analyzing and classifying digital images as color, black-and-white, black-and-white with spot color, monochromatic, or monochromatic with spot color is provided. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a digital image is received and selected pixel values thereof are transformed from RGB color component values to a lightness component value and two color difference component values. The selected pixels are analyzed with respect to neutrality based upon the two color difference values and are grouped according to lightness value. The sample population distributions of each of the two color difference values are statistically analyzed for each group of pixels, and an image classification is determined by examination of the resulting statistics and derivatives thereof.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2007Date of Patent: April 12, 2011Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventor: Stephen E.

Patent number: 7755802Abstract: In the method, a digital image is received. A granularity model is constructed of each of the toner stations. A noise table is produced. The noise table is based on the granularity models and is adaptive to the content of the digital image. Noise is reduced in the digital image using the noise table. The digital image is divided into a plurality of color records, each corresponding to a respective toner station. The color records of the noise reduced digital image are printed using respective toner stations. Each granularity model defines a toner applied by the respective toner station.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2007Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Hwai-Tzuu Tai, Yee S.

Patent number: 7130803Abstract: A system and method for unique virtual dynamically-capable (UVDC) addressing relating to mail and parcel delivery and forwarding. The UVDC addressing system comprises at least one data collection processing and storage Host that creates a unique virtual dynamically-capable (UVDC) address for a subscriber be it an individual, business or other entity, that contains a UVDC address code, and an associated informational data set and a mechanism for conveying this data when the Host is queried by a mail/parcel processing facility. The informational data set corresponding to the UVDC address code is changeable to adapt to the changing needs and desires of the subscriber. By virtue of their UDVC address, the subscriber can have a mail/parcel delivered to any facility by any means and have them sent to any final delivery point by any means with the final delivery point being changeable at any time while mail/parcel remains within the UVDCA system.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2001Date of Patent: October 31, 2006Inventors: John P.

Patent number: 5406325Abstract: A technique for improving the tone and color reproduction of print and slide images which are photographed onto color negative film, scanned by a Photo CD negative scanner and transferred onto Photo CD discs is disclosed. The technique incorporates a calibration method for (1) producing color negatives (or slides) using normal scanner calibration targets, (2) producing controlled prints from the negatives, (3) re-photographing the prints (or slides) onto a second color negative film, and (4) performing the normal scanner calibration using this second "cascaded" film. The calibration step not only "compensates for" the second color negative film (as is the case when calibrating for "normal" film exposed from the original scenes) but also "compensates for" the first negative film "print through" (or slide) characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 1992Date of Patent: April 11, 1995Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Kenneth A.

Patent number: 5053866Abstract: The present invention is designed to operate with a digital imaging device which reproduces in hardcopy an original color image. In order to make high quality reproductions, that is reproductions which correspond in finished color to the color of the original image, the method of the present invention operates upon the original color densities with a color correction module that has as its input the desired red, green, and blue densities, and which outputs the modified red, green, and blue densities which can be considered to be channel-independent aim control signals for the imaging device. In the event that external conditions change which prevent the desired red, green, and blue densities from being achieved when the color correction module is utilized, a neutral adjustment module is activated which takes as its inputs the red, green, and blue aim control signals from the color correction module and outputs adjusted red, green, and blue signals which are directed to the imaging device.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 1989Date of Patent: October 1, 1991Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventor: Stephen E.
