System And Method For Establishing An Aggregate Degree Of Brightness For Each Primary Color To Create A Composite Color Digital Image

US Patent:
6785414, Aug 31, 2004
Filed:
Sep 28, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/671113
Inventors:
Kevin W. Ryan - Silver Spring MD
Assignee:
Media Cybernetics, Inc. - Silver Spring MD
International Classification:
G06K 900
US Classification:
382162, 358520, 348362
Abstract:
A system and method for establishing an aggregate degree of brightness for each primary color to create a composite color digital image. One of a plurality of primary colors is selected. A color digital image is captured with a color digital camera. The aggregate degree of brightness for the selected primary color is determined. The determined aggregate degree of brightness for the selected primary color is compared with the desired degree of brightness for the selected primary color. If the determined aggregate degree of brightness is not within a tolerance band surrounding the desired degree of brightness, then an adjustment is made to an exposure time controller of the color digital camera. This process is repeated until the determined aggregate degree of brightness is within the tolerance band surrounding the desired degree of brightness. If the determined aggregate degree of brightness is within the tolerance band surrounding the desired degree of brightness, then photosite values for the selected primary color are copied into corresponding pixels in a buffer.

Method, System, And Product For Analyzing A Digitized Image Of An Array To Create An Image Of A Grid Overlay

US Patent:
6498863, Dec 24, 2002
Filed:
Sep 20, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/665665
Inventors:
Yuri C. Gaidoukevitch - Leiderdorp, NL
Kevin W. Ryan - Silver Spring MD
Dean E. Sequera - Kensington MD
Assignee:
Media Cybernetics Inc. - Silver Spring MD
International Classification:
G06K 934
US Classification:
382173, 382133, 382280, 382288
Abstract:
A method, system, and product for analyzing a digitized image of an array to create an image of a grid overlay. The method comprising the steps of locating the center of each object on the array, determining a standard shape and size for the objects, and creating a final image of the grid overlay. Preliminary procedures can be used to normalize the image so that optimal results can be obtained. Sub-grids can be identified and objects repositioned within their corresponding sub-grids. Noise can be removed by filtering processes based on object size, intensity, and location.
