SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF IMAGING WITH MULTI-DOMAIN IMAGE SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17932267 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF IMAGING WITH MULTI-DOMAIN IMAGE SENSOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an imaging system that processes image data from different electromagnetic frequency domains to generate a reconstructed image.
- Imaging system processes image data from different EM frequency domains
- Reduces pixel values from one domain using contamination values from another domain
- Determines reconstructed pixel values based on a combination of overexposed pixel values and processed pixel values
- Outputs a reconstructed image with the reconstructed pixel values and a subset of processed pixel values
Potential Applications
This technology can be used in various fields such as medical imaging, surveillance systems, and satellite imaging for improved image quality and accuracy.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses issues related to overexposed images and cross-domain contamination in imaging systems, resulting in clearer and more accurate reconstructed images.
Benefits
- Improved image quality - Reduction of overexposed areas - Enhanced accuracy in reconstructed images
Original Abstract Submitted
Imaging systems and techniques are described. An imaging system determines, based on image data of a scene received from an image sensor, a first plurality of pixel values corresponding to a first electromagnetic (EM) frequency domain and a second plurality of pixel values corresponding to a second EM frequency domain. The imaging system reduces the first plurality of pixel values using a plurality of cross-domain contamination values (based on the second plurality of pixel values) to generate a third plurality of pixel values. The imaging system determines a reconstructed pixel value based on a combination of at least an overexposed pixel value of the first plurality of pixel values and a corresponding pixel of the third plurality of pixel values. The imaging system outputs a reconstructed image that includes the reconstructed pixel value and a subset of the third plurality of pixel values.
