Patent number: 10134117Abstract: A computer-implemented method for viewing images on an interactive computing device comprises displaying an image from a stack comprising a display image and at least one compressed sub-image of nominally the same scene, each of the sub-images of the stack having been acquired at respective focal distances. Responsive to a user selecting a portion of the displayed image, the selected portion is mapped to a corresponding mapped portion of a sub-image within the stack according to the difference in focal distances between the displayed image and the sub-image. At least one row of compressed image blocks of the at least one sub-image extending across the mapped portion; and a reference value for a point in the compressed image stream of the sub-image preceding the row of compressed image blocks is determined.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2017Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: FotoNation LimitedInventors: Valentin Mocanu, Petronel Bigioi, Peter Corcoran, Christopher Dainty, Ferenc Papai

Publication number: 20150358535Abstract: Sub-regions within a face image are identified to be enhanced by applying a localized smoothing kernel to luminance data corresponding to the sub-regions of the face image. An enhanced face image is generated including an enhanced version of the face that includes certain original pixels in combination with pixels corresponding to the one or more enhanced sub-regions of the face.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2015Publication date: December 10, 2015Inventors: Mihai Ciuc, Adrian Capata, Valentin Mocanu, Corneliu Florea, Alexei Pososin, Peter Corcoran
