METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH IMAGE PROCESSING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17572908 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH IMAGE PROCESSING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and apparatus for image processing using infrared rays. The method involves analyzing input images dependent on different phases of infrared rays to determine a real part image, an imaginary part image, and an offset image. Noise is then removed from the real and imaginary part images using the offset image as a guide for noise removal. Finally, a depth image is generated based on the improved real and imaginary part images.

  • The method involves analyzing input images dependent on different phases of infrared rays.
  • Real part image, imaginary part image, and offset image are determined based on the input images.
  • Noise is removed from the real and imaginary part images using the offset image as a guide.
  • A depth image is generated based on the improved real and imaginary part images.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in various applications that require depth sensing and image processing.
  • It can be applied in surveillance systems to enhance image quality and extract depth information.
  • It can be used in robotics for object detection and navigation.
  • Medical imaging applications can benefit from this technology for improved depth perception and noise reduction.

Problems Solved

  • The method solves the problem of noise in infrared images by using an offset image as a guide for noise removal.
  • It addresses the challenge of accurately determining depth information from infrared images by improving the real and imaginary part images.
  • The technology solves the problem of limited depth perception in traditional image processing methods.

Benefits

  • The method improves the quality of infrared images by removing noise and enhancing depth perception.
  • It provides a more accurate representation of depth information in infrared images.
  • The technology can be implemented in real-time systems, enabling faster and more efficient image processing.
  • It offers potential cost savings by reducing the need for additional hardware or sensors for depth sensing.
