Abstract: A method for indexing video sequences relative to a reference model. A system implementing the method includes an (optional) image pre-processor (200) that produces the reference model (206) or is provided with the reference model. The pre-processor (200) is then provided with input image data (208) such as a video sequence containing a series of frames of a particular scene. The pre-processor performs a transformation to align the images within the video sequence with the reference model (210). The pre-processor then stores the transformation, the reference model and the image data within a mass storage device such as a hard disk drive (212). Subsequently, the system provides access to the information stored within the mass storage device through a user interface. The user may recall and position on a computer screen the reference model, select a particular point within the reference model (216), and request that the system produce all of the image data that contains that particular point with in the reference model (220).

Abstract: The invention (Fig. 1) relates to an apparatus and method for detecting electrical charge with a long integration time and in particular to a sampling method which reduces noise that affects the accuracy of the measurement of the total charge. The apparatus samples the charge on the capacitor (12) at the start of the integration period to obtain a sample proportional to a first noise component. It then samples the charge on the capacitor (12) at the end of an integration period and subtracts the noise component sample from the integrated charge sample to obtain a measure of integrated charge to the relative exclusion of the noise component. The circuit uses a folded cascode amplifier (Fig. 4) and at least one correlated double sampling circuit (Fig. 7). The charge detector can be used with any apparatus which generates electrical charge in response to an input including for example, a photodetector, photomultiplier, ion detector, e-beam detector and piezoelectric charge detector and arrays of such devices.

Abstract: A digital image warper system (5) produces a warped output image from an input image. The warper system increases the sampling rate of a sampled image above Nyquist rate or samples an analog image at a higher rate than the Nyquist rate and prefilters the upsampled image to counteract filtering which may occur during the warping operation (10). The upsampled image is warped using an interpolator for resampling to produce a warped upsampled image (20). The interpolator is, for example, a low quality interpolator such as a bilinear interpolator. The warped image is then down-sampled to the same resolution as the input image to produce the warped image (30). Down-sampling and warping can be combined into one step by modifying the geometric transformation function implemented when warping the upsampled image.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for assessing the visibility of differences between two input image sequences for improving image fidelity and visual task applications. The apparatus comprises a visual discrimination measure (112) having a retinal sampling section (210), a plurality of temporal filters (220, 230) and a spatial discrimination section (295). The retinal sampling section (210) applies a plurality of transformations to the input image sequences (202, 204) for simulating the image-processing properties of human vision. The temporal filters separate the sequences of retinal images into two temporal channels producing a low pass temporal response and a bandpass temporal response. The spatial discrimination section (295) applies spatial processing to the temporal responses to produce an image metric (290) which is used to assess the visibility of differences between the two input image sequences.
