  • Patent number: 9564073
    Abstract: A method for analyzing displays is described. A processing device receives a first scanned image of a first display and determines a first characteristic of the first display by analyzing the first scanned image. The processing device also receives a second scanned image of a second display and determines a second characteristic of the second display by analyzing the second scanned image. The processing device compares the first characteristic and the second characteristic to determine a third characteristic of the second display.

  • Patent number: 9288374
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for adjusting camera device characteristics using a remote imaging server. The camera device may take an initial image before the user takes a picture. The initial image is provided to the imaging server over a network. The imaging server analyzes the initial image and assesses which image parameters may need to be adjusted to capture a higher quality picture. The image parameters may include, but are not limited to, brightness, reflectivity, user vibrations, skin tone, subject movement, light sources, and/or user preferences. The imaging server may provide recommendations or adjustments to the camera device prior to the user taking a picture. The imaging server may also prompt the user to position or orientation of the camera device or a subject prior to taking a picture.

  • Patent number: 9071744
    Abstract: Techniques for calibrating spatial uniformity of light emitted by a light source include receiving light from a unit under test with an array of photo detectors. Sampling circuitry receives an output signal generated by each of the photo detectors in response to the received light, and samples each of the output signals to generate a sampled output signal for each of the photo detectors. One or more processors determine a spatial uniformity measure of one or both of luminous intensity and chromaticity for the received light using the sampled output signals.

  • Patent number: 8867817
    Abstract: A method for analyzing a display is described. The method includes scanning the display to generate a scanned image of the display. The scanned image may be analyzed to determine a characteristic of the display, such as whether or not the display is defective.
