DATA PROCESSING DEVICE AND DATA PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17909637 titled 'DATA PROCESSING DEVICE AND DATA PROCESSING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a data processing device that can denoise phase difference calculations in complex images.

  • The device includes a coherence matrix calculation unit that calculates a coherence matrix representing correlation of pixels in multiple complex images.
  • It also includes a spatial correlation generator that generates data representing prior information about spatial correlation, which is the correlation of pixels in each of the multiple complex images.
  • The device further includes a phase difference estimation unit that merges the coherence matrix and the spatial correlation to calculate a statistically likely and consistent phase difference.
  • This denoised phase difference can be used for various applications in image processing and analysis.


Original Abstract Submitted

The data processing device includes a coherence matrix calculation unit which calculates a coherence matrix representing correlation of pixels at the same position in multiple complex images, a spatial correlation generator which generates data representing prior information regarding spatial correlation being correlation of pixels in each of the multiple complex images, and a phase difference estimation unit which merges the correlation of pixels regarding the coherence matrix and the spatial correlation, and calculates a statistically likely and consistent phase difference based on merged correlation as a denoised phase difference.
