Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable storage media for calibrating focused plenoptic camera data. A calibration technique that does not modify the image data may be applied to raw plenoptic images. Calibration parameters, including but not limited to tilt angle, corner crops, main lens distance from the microlens array, sensor distance from the microlens array, and microimage size, may be specified. Calibration may include scaling down the input texture coordinates for the plenoptic image so that the new coordinate range fits the size of the texture with crops taken into account. These coordinates may be further transformed by one or more of a matrix performing a scaling, to correct for lens distortion; a rotation, to correct for tilts; and a translation that finalizes the necessary corner crops. A transformation matrix is generated that can be applied to the raw image by radiance processing techniques such as super-resolution techniques.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for generating an n-sided patch by sketching on a three-dimensional reference surface. A user draws a closed curve on a 3D surface; the drawn outline is taken as a boundary for an N-sided patch. If the user does not close the curve, the system may automatically close the curve, as a closed outer boundary curve may be required to produce an N-sided patch. The boundary conditions, the positions, and the surface normals at the boundary are inferred automatically from the 3D surface that the user has drawn the curve on. In addition, boundary curves for the same patch may be drawn on different 3D shapes; multiple 3D shapes may be used as the template or canvas on which the user draws curves from which a patch is to be generated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a unique color management method for calibrating and characterizing a light mixing system comprising a set of primary light modules emitting self-luminous color primaries, which may be intimately mixed to produce a batch color that matches a standard color. The radiant output of each self-luminous color primary, or channel, is modulated by a setting a light controller to a Digital-to-Analog-Conversion (“DAC”) value. In the event that the radiant output of the color primary channels is non-linearly proportioned to the DAC input values, it is useful to employ an innovative “iterative best-fit” method of simultaneously calculating admixtures of light from all color primaries that match a standard color. Otherwise, a matrix method based on matrix algebra may also be used to create a batch color that matches a standard color. A best fit tristimulus value method or best fit minimum RMSD can be used in conjunction with these spectral color matching methods.

Abstract: Images provide rich information regarding what they depict. For example, an image may have additional information, such as depth and/or 3D location values, for some points within the image. It may be advantageous to extrapolate the values from the valued points to the entire image because a new view of the image may be generated based upon values of points. Accordingly, an interpolated image may be generated by interpolating values for unvalued points based upon values of valued points. In particular, a set of valued points having desired cost paths may be determined for an unvalued point. A model may be applied to the set of valued points to interpolate a value for the unvalued point. One or more interpolated images may be projected onto a new view. In particular, points within an interpolated image may be projected onto locations within the new view based upon values of the points.

Abstract: A digital screen rendering resolution adjustment can allow users who are conventionally dependent upon corrective lenses to view the digital screen to, after the resolution adjustment, view the contents of this screen with 20×20 vision (considered normal vision), without the use of these corrective lenses.

A screen rendering customization to autocompensate for a user's visual impairment can be applied for each eye in 3D capable devices due to the inherent nature of 3D to display separate images per eye.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting and handling thin lines in a raster image includes reading depth values for each pixel of an n×m block of pixels surrounding a substantially central pixel. Differences are then calculated for selected depth values of the n×m block of pixels to yield multiple difference values. These difference values may then be compared with multiple pre-computed difference values associated with thin lines pre-determined to pass through the n×m block of pixels. If the difference values of the pixel block substantially match the difference values of one of the pre-determined thin lines, the pixel block may be deemed to describe a thin line. The apparatus and method may preclude application of an anti-aliasing filter to the substantially central pixel of the pixel block in the event it describes a thin line.

A preferred embodiment comprises converting an input color signal into an output color signal, wherein the number of colors in the output color signal is less than a number of colors used in a display system, when a weighting of the input color signal is less than a specified threshold, and converting the input color signal into an output color signal, wherein the number of colors in the output color signal is equal to the number of colors used in the display system, when the weighting of the input color signal is greater than the specified threshold.

Abstract: An original design image is processed to create a modified design image for blending with an image of a product to create a combined image representing the result of printing the design image onto the product. To create a modified design image, both the alpha value and color of pixels in the original design image are modified. The modified alpha value and the modified color of a pixel are determined as a function of the amount of gray in the original color of the pixel. The modified pixel color is calculated by subtracting the level of gray in the original pixel color from each of the three original component color values and increasing any remaining color component values as a function of the modified alpha value of the pixel.
