Filed:

Mar 25, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/071999

Inventors:

Yuh-Lin E. Chang - Fremont CA, US
Stewart N. Taylor - Los Altos CA, US
Michael F. Fallon - Tiverton RI, US

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06K 9/40

US Classification:

382173

Abstract:

Methods, systems and computer program products to improve the efficiency and computational speed of an image enhancement process. In an embodiment, information that is generated as interim results during feature extraction may be used in a segmentation and classification process and in a content adaptive enhancement process. In particular, a cleaner image that is generated during a noise removal phase of feature extraction may be used in a content adaptive enhancement process. This saves the content adaptive enhancement process from having to generate a cleaner image on its own. In addition, low-level segmentation information that is generated during a neighborhood analysis and cleanup phase of feature extraction may be used in a segmentation and classification process. This saves the segmentation and classification process from having to generate low-level segmentation information on its own.

Appl. No.:

13/566421

Inventors:

Scott A. Krig - Santa Clara CA, US
Stewart N. Taylor - Los Altos CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/06
H04N 1/00

US Classification:

358 324, 707812, 707705

Abstract:

A method and system for managing consistent data objects are included herein. The method includes detecting an operation to store a consistent data object. Additionally, the method includes detecting an attribute for the consistent data object. Furthermore, the method includes storing the consistent data object based on the attribute. In addition, the method includes determining an additional format of the consistent data object is to be stored. The method also includes generating a second consistent data object based on the additional format and storing the second consistent data object.

International Classification:

G06T 1/20

US Classification:

345156, 345501

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for imaging task pipeline acceleration are provided. Imaging tasks in a pipeline of a system having heterogeneous processing capabilities, for example, may be configured to increase the speed at which such imaging tasks are accomplished.

Appl. No.:

15/078682

Inventors:

- Santa Clara CA, US
Stewart N. Taylor - Los Altos CA, US

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06T 1/20
G06T 7/40
G06K 9/00
G06T 7/00

Abstract:

According to some embodiments, an image pipeline controller may determine an image stream having a plurality of image primitives to be executed. Each image primitive may be, for example, associated with an image algorithm and a set of primitive attributes. The image pipeline controller may then automatically deploy the set of image primitives to an image computation fabric based at least in part on primitive attributes.

Appl. No.:

14/664743

Inventors:

- Santa Clara CA, US
Stewart N. Taylor - Los Altos CA, US

International Classification:

G06T 1/20

Abstract:

A flexible representation of library function equivalency is included in an image graph implementation API to provide a mechanism for a graph node developer to identify functions that may be executed on heterogeneous devices to arrive at sufficiently equivalent results. An image graph executor may employ an equivalency class object or function defined through the image graph implementation API to schedule work subtasks to heterogeneous hardware resources in parallel for greater implementation efficiency.

International Classification:

H04N 1/047
G06K 15/02
G06K 15/00

Abstract:

Techniques related to rendering scanned images are discussed. Such techniques may include selectively processing segments of a scanned input image based on a neutral edge tag signal such that segments are color suppressed and edge enhanced when the neutral edge tag signal is asserted and error diffusion processed when the neutral edge tag signal is not asserted.
