Patent number: 10990859Abstract: The present invention discloses a method operable on a digital electronic device comprising constrained processing unit employing a limited computer-readable storage medium, also known as a digital memory, for allowing an object classification process to be executed on an image. The object classification process may be allowed by a processing unit interlocking with a digital memory unit, which receives an image representing a digital image captured by light incident on an image sensor, denoted herein as an original image. In some cases, a computerized process operable on the digital processing may identify a list of pixel arrays located at the original image, and thereby allow a classification process to be operated on these pixel arrays. In some cases, a process operable on the digital processing may grant access to another computerized process to perform the classification process.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: EMZA VISUAL SENSE LTDInventors: Zeev Smilansky, Tal Hendel, Tomer Kimhi

Publication number: 20190281193Abstract: The present in discloses a method operable on a computerized circuitry employing an image sensor, designed to capture multiple images in a succession. Said method can be utilized to synchronize the clock rate, also known as clock cycle rate, of a device's circuitry with the frequency of a full cycle of the illumination modulation which in some cases may be caused by the main power line frequency. The method disclosed in the present invention can comprise a process which can adjust the circuitry system's clock rate and in parallel set the pixel integration time of the image sensor. The operation of capturing a set of pixel arrays can comprise: 1) Setting a clock rate associated with an image intensity value. 2) Capturing a set of pixel arrays. 3) Computing the image intensity variability value of the captured set of pixel arrays.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2019Publication date: September 12, 2019Inventors: Zeev SMILANSKY, Tomer Kimhi
