Patent number: 11915435Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method of image cross-correlation improves the sub-pixel accuracy of the correlation surface and subsequent processing thereof. One or both of the template or search windows are resampled using the fractional portions of the correlation offsets X and Y produced by the initial image cross-correlation. The resampled window is then correlated with the other original window to produce a resampled cross-correlation surface. Removing the fractional or sub-pixel offsets between the template and search windows improves the “sameness” of the represented imagery thereby improving the quality and accuracy of the correlation surface, which in turn improves the quality and accuracy of the FOM or other processing of the correlation surface. The process may be iterated to improve accuracy or modified to generate resampled cross-correlation surfaces for multiple possible offsets and to accept the one with the most certainty.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventor: Grant B.

Patent number: 11831874Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for performing semi-global matching (SGM) path cost compression. In some examples, the techniques may perform disparity-dependent sub-sampling of a set of SGM path costs where the sub-sampling ratio is determined based on a candidate disparity level. The sub-sampled SGM path costs may be stored in a memory. When retrieved from memory, the sub-sampled SGM path costs may be interpolated to reconstruct the other path costs not stored in the memory. The reconstructed path costs may be used for further SGM processing. In further examples, the techniques may perform disparity-dependent quantization on the SGM path costs or the sub-sampled SGM path costs, and store the quantized SGM path costs in memory. The techniques of this disclosure may reduce bandwidth as well as reduce the memory footprint needed to implement an SGM algorithm.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Do-Kyoung Kwon, Jing-Fei Ren, Darnell Moore

A method of decoding an image includes receiving a bitstream in which the image is encoded; obtaining index information for specifying a block division type of a current block in the image; and determining the block division type of the current block from a candidate group pre-defined in the decoding apparatus. The candidate group includes a plurality of candidate division types, including at least one of a non-division, a first quad-division, a second quad-division, a binary-division or a triple-division. The method also includes dividing the current block into a plurality of sub-blocks; and decoding each of the sub-blocks with reference to syntax information obtained from the bitstream.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2023Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: B1 INSTITUTE OF IMAGE TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventor: Ki Baek Kim

Patent number: 11743576Abstract: A control section 35 compares angles of view of a main captured image generated by a main imaging section 21 and a subordinate captured image generated by a subordinate imaging section 22. In a case where a result of comparison, by the control section 35, of the angles of view indicates that the angle of view of the main captured image is narrower than the angle of view of the subordinate captured image, an image synthesis section 24 generates a display image by superimposing the main captured image on the subordinate captured image or superimposing the reduced subordinate captured image on the main captured image. In a case where the angle of view of the main captured image is narrower than the angle of view of the subordinate image, the main captured image is set as the display image. It is possible to easily decide a composition during shooting by using the subordinate captured image. It is also possible to confirm an imaging status by using the main captured image.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2020Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: SONY GROUP CORPORATIONInventor: Hitoshi Yagisawa

Patent number: 11720606Abstract: Geospatial data is gathered for generation of a geodatacube encompassing data from multiple geospatial data sets for efficient processing and optimization. A method for gathering, storing and processing geospatial data includes identifying a plurality of geospatial data sets for intake, each defining a geospatial data parameter. For each geospatial data set, a plurality of subregions is defined such that each subregion corresponds to a portion of the geographic entity having the same value for the data parameter defined by the respective geospatial data set. In other words, subdividing the geographic entity along demarcations defined by variances in the data parameter(s) defined by the geospatial data set. A number of geospatial data sets for intake are arranged into layers, where each layer defines the data parameter for the respective subregions of the geographic entity. A partition defining polygons common to all layers represents a union of the subregions.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2022Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: AVALARA, INC.Inventor: David Berthiaume
