  • Patent number: 11431990
    Abstract: A device and method for compressing image data. Image data is received comprising one or more images recorded by a camera. Attitude data is received indicating the attitude of the camera when each of the one or more images was recorded. In each of the one or more images, a region of interest is defined, the region of interest being bounded by a boundary, the boundary of the region of interest being based on the attitude data for the respective image and defining a section of the image within the region of interest and a section of the image outside the region of interest. Each of the one or more images is compressed, wherein the compression ratio applied to the section of the image outside the region of interest is higher than that applied to the section of the image within the region of interest.

  • Publication number: 20080127378
    Abstract: Merbeingold 2336 is a new Australian variety of mandarin. It was selected from the progeny obtained following a controlled pollination of Imperial mandarinĂ—Ellendale tangor in 1984. It was selected because it is pollen sterile, strongly parthenocarpic and yields seedless fruits, which are sweet, juicy and easy-to-peel. Fruit maturity is early-to-mid season in the Murray Valley of Australia. Internally, the flesh of Merbeingold 2336 is attractive, orange in colour and tender with soft segment walls.

  • Publication number: 20080127379
    Abstract: Merbeingold 2350 is a new Australian variety of mandarin. It was selected from the progeny obtained following a controlled pollination of Imperial mandarinĂ—Ellendale tangor in 1984. It was selected because it is strongly parthenocarpic and is capable of yielding seedless fruits, which are sweet, juicy and easy-to-peel. Fruit maturity is mid season in the Murray Valley of Australia. The rind of Merbeingold is thin, orange-to-orange red, strong yet easily peeled. Its fruits can be snap picked, eliminating a need to clip. Internally, the flesh of Merbeingold 2350 is attractive, orange in colour and juicy with a good sugar/acid balance.
