A system and method for generating a health insurance explanation of benefits for a patient is provided for receiving one or more adjudicated claims from a health insurance company; analyzing the one or more claims in relation to patient information stored in a patient records database; and generating a personalized message to the patient about the patient's health care based on the stored patient information and the adjudicated claims. The personalized message, applied to an EOB generation system associated with the health insurance company, forms a part of an enhanced EOB to be provided to the patient.

Image data is processed to produce an output using a frame insertion approach. According to an example embodiment, frames are generated for video data, based upon the video data and the presence (or absence) of artifacts in the video data. In one application, a dynamic frame insertion approach is used to selectively generate peaked and blurred video frames in a manner that mitigates undesirable display and/or enhancement of artifacts by tuning down or turning off the generation and/or insertion of video frames.

An apparatus to provide a fall-back procedure for a PRC imaging device is described. The apparatus includes a PRC controller, a system resource monitor, and a PRC setting calculator. The PRC controller outputs a stream of images at an adjustable temporal rate. The adjustable temporal rate is constrained within a range defined by a first predetermined rate and a second predetermined rate. The system resource monitor obtains a measurement of system resource utilization. The PRC setting calculator determines a setting for the PRC controller in response to the measurement of system resource utilization. Additionally, the PRC controller determines a value for the adjustable temporal rate in response to the setting.

A method and system for improving the quality of a video image () segmented into a plurality of blocks () of known size is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of associating a value to each of said blocks and altering said associated value corresponding to a selected one of said blocks when each of said associated values of blocks adjacent to said selected block is different than said selected block associated value. The block value is a first value when said block probability function is greater than a threshold value, otherwise it a set as a second value.

A method () and system () for adaptively segmenting pixel elements in an image frame is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of segmenting pixel elements into at least one first region based on a selection criteria (), refining the selection criteria () based on information associated with each of the pixel elements within an associated first region and segmenting () the image pixel elements into at least one second region based on said refined selection criteria ().

A method and apparatus for thinning lines in a video, includes providing a line signal () of a video, the line signal () having pair of spaced apart transitions () which slope toward one another and merge at an edge () of a first thickness, the first thickness of the edge generating a line of a given width in the video. At least one of the transitions () is moved toward a center of the edge (), to produce a new line signal () having an edge () of a second thickness which is less than the first thickness, thereby reducing the given width of the line in the video.

In a motion-compensated processing of images, input images are down-scaled (scl) to obtain down-scaled images, the down-scaled images are subjected to motion-compensated processing (ME UPC) to obtain motion-compensated images, the motion-compensated images are up-scaled (sc) to obtain up-scaled motion-compensated images; and the up-scaled motion-compensated images are combined (M) with the input images to obtain output images.
