Patent
Key signal generating device, picture producing device, key signal generating method, and picture producing method
TL;DR: In this paper, a key signal ( alpha) is generated so that an expression C'=(F-B) alpha is satisfied where F, B, and C respectively represent the foreground of a picture, the background (B) which is the other part than the former part and the value of picture element constituting the picture and the prime ''" means that the variable marked with ''" is the derivative thereof.
Patent
Imaging device, image processing method and program for correction of blooming
TL;DR: In this paper, an imaging device including an image sensor for outputting a high sensitivity pixel signal from a long-time exposure pixel and a low-sensitivity pixel signal of a short time exposure pixel; and a blooming correction processing unit for receiving the output pixel signals from the image sensor and executing blooming correction for the pixel signal.
Patent
Method apparatus, and recording medium for smoothing luminance of an image
TL;DR: In this paper, a smoothing calculator determines a smoothed mean luminance value C1×μ(t)+(1−C1)μ′(t−1) based on a mean-luminance value μ (t) input at time t and a smooted mean-light value μ(t − 1) read at time (t− 1) from a buffer.
Patent
Image processing apparatus and method for generating a restoration image
TL;DR: In this paper, an image processing apparatus which can restore, from a color and sensitivity mosaic image acquired using a CCD image sensor of the single plate type or the like, a color image signal of a wide dynamic range wherein the sensitivity characteristics of pixels are uniformized and each of the pixels has all of a plurality of color components.
Patent
Key signal generator, image composing device, key signal generating method and image composing method
TL;DR: In this paper, a key signal is generated so as to satisfy an expression C'=(F-B)α' (''' expresses differentiation in this case), where C' is defined as a change in the picture element values among the picture elements consisting of the image.
