Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a technique for image reconstruction that employs cascaded over-complete dictionaries (i.e., collections of bases) for extracting features and building representations for images at different reconstruction levels. Each dictionary on a different reconstruction level can be learned and optimized for the purpose of capturing either generic or discriminative features. By finding sparse representations through the cascaded dictionaries, an image can be reconstructed and recognized.

Abstract: Descriptions are provided of various implementations of an automated tuning process configured to optimize a procedure for post-processing images captured by a camera sensor.

Abstract: The disclosure describes adaptive filtering techniques to improve the quality of captured image information, such as video or still images. An image sensor captures image information and determines a plurality of parameter values based on a current exposure index and a current scaling factor of the image information. The adaptive spatial image filter includes both horizontal and vertical sharpening filters and configures, i.e., adapts, the horizontal sharpening filter and the vertical sharpening filter based on the plurality of parameter values determined by the image sensor. The adaptive spatial image filter applies the horizontal and vertical sharpening filters to at one channel of the image information to generate filtered image information.

Abstract: A push to talk wireless dispatch service includes a media control unit that establishes, while one remote unit has the floor and push to talk (PTT) signals are received from other remote units, a queue of remote units based the respective times of receipt of the PTT signals and/or priorities of transmission. The transmission channel of the dispatch service, when released by a speaking unit, is granted to the next remote unit in the queue, and so on.
