Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for quickly selecting an optimal excitation waveform from a codebook are presented herein. In encoding schemes that use forward and backward pitch enhancement, storage and processor load is reduced by approximating a two-dimensional autocorrelation matrix with a one-dimensional autocorrelation vector. The approximation is possible when a cross-correlation element is configured to determine the autocorrelation matrix of an impulse response and a pulse energy determination element is configured to determine the energy of a pulse code vector that incorporates secondary pulse positions.
Abstract:
A method of processing an image includes selecting, for each of a plurality of picture element values in at least a portion of the image, one among a plurality of offset values. For each of the plurality of picture element values, an index value is obtained based on (A) the selected offset value and (B) a portion of the picture element value. For each of the plurality of picture element values, an entry is retrieved from a lookup table according to the corresponding index value.
Abstract:
A color interpolation method uses a first interpolation function (F1) to obtain a first missing color sub-pixel value for a pixel of interest and uses a second interpolation function (F2) to obtain a second missing color sub-pixel value for the pixel of interest. First metric (V) indicative of an edge extending in a first direction (D1) is obtained. Second metric (H) indicative of an edge extending in a second direction (D2) is obtained. The two metrics are used to generate first and second weighting factors (k1, k2). A confidence factor value can be used to place more emphasis on one metric versus the other metric in the determination of the weighting factors. In one embodiment, the sub-pixel value being interpolated is the weighted sum of the first weighting factor multiplied by the first missing color sub-pixel value plus the second weighting factor multiplied by the second missing color sub-pixel value.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for quickly selecting an optimal excitation waveform from a codebook are presented herein. To reduce the number of computations required to choose the optimal codebook vector, a subset of codevectors are selected based upon optimal pulse locations (425), wherein the subset of codevectors form a subcodebook. Rather than searching the entire codebook, only the entries of the subcodebook are searched (400).

Abstract:
A method, which is performed by an electronic device, for adjusting at least one image capturing parameter in a preview mode is disclosed. The method may include capturing a preview image of a scene including at least one text object based on a set of image capturing parameters. The method may also identify a plurality of text regions in the preview image. From the plurality of text regions, a target focus region may be selected. Based on the target focus region, the at least one image capturing parameter may be adjusted.
