Color Transformation For Processing Digital Images

View page
US Patent:
6956967, Oct 18, 2005
Filed:
May 20, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/151622
Inventors:
Edward B. Gindele - Rochester NY, US
Michael S. Axman - Rochester NY, US
John D. Buhr - Newton PA, US
Michael W. Dupin - Rochester NY, US
Raymond W. Ptucha - Honeoye Falls NY, US
David K. Rhoda - Rochester NY, US
John A. Weldy - Rochester NY, US
Assignee:
Eastman Kodak Company - Rochester NY
International Classification:
G06K009/00
US Classification:
382167, 358518
Abstract:
A method of transforming the color appearance of a plurality of digital images includes receiving a plurality of digital images from a capture medium wherein each digital image includes a plurality of pixel values relating to at least three basic colors; calculating a color correction transform by using a non-linear adjustment that is independent of the digital images and which corrects an under-exposure condition as a function of the capture medium; and a linear functional relationship dependent upon the pixels of the basic colors, the linear functional relationship defining an exposure-level-dependent estimate of gray corresponding to the photographic response of the capture medium; and using the color correction transform to modify the pixels of the plurality of digital images wherein the pixels within a digital image are transformed with varying degrees of color modification as a function of exposure.

Constructing Extended Color Gamut Digital Images From Limited Color Gamut Digital Images

US Patent:
7308135, Dec 11, 2007
Filed:
Jan 14, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/757048
Inventors:
Kevin E. Spaulding - Spencerport NY, US
Andrew C. Gallagher - Brockport NY, US
Edward B. Gindele - Rochester NY, US
Raymond W. Ptucha - Honeoye Falls NY, US
Assignee:
Eastman Kodak Company - Rochester NY
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382162, 382167, 382254, 382274, 358 19, 358518, 358523
Abstract:
A method for reconstructing an extended color gamut digital image from a limited color gamut digital image includes transforming the limited color gamut digital image in the particular limited color gamut color space to a reference color space forming a limited color gamut digital image in a reference color space; providing a modified inverse color adjustment function which, when such function operates on the limited color gamut digital image in the reference color space, produces the reconstructed extended color gamut digital image having reduced highlight color saturation for highlight color values when compared with corresponding color values of the initial extended color gamut image; and operating on the limited color gamut digital image in the reference color space with the modified inverse color adjustment function to form the reconstructed extended color gamut digital image having reduced levels of color contouring and quantization artifacts.

US Patent:
7428332, Sep 23, 2008
Filed:
Jan 14, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/757055
Inventors:
Kevin E. Spaulding - Rochester NY, US
Raymond W. Ptucha - Rochester NY, US
Edward B. Gindele - Rochester NY, US
Andrew C. Gallagher - Rochester NY, US
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
G06K 9/40
US Classification:
382167, 382254, 382162
Abstract:
A method is described for applying an image enhancement algorithm to input digital images represented in different input color spaces including identifying the input color space of an input digital image, and applying a color space transformation to the input digital image represented in the input color space to form a corresponding input digital image in a reference color space. The method also includes adjusting one or more algorithm parameters of the image enhancement algorithm in response to the identified input color space, and applying the image enhancement algorithm with the one or more adjusted algorithm parameters to the corresponding input digital image in the reference color space to produce an enhanced digital image in the reference color space.

US Patent:
7570829, Aug 4, 2009
Filed:
Feb 17, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/059935
Inventors:
Raymond W. Ptucha - Honeoye Falls NY, US
William V. Fintel - Rochester NY, US
Andrew C. Gallagher - Brockport NY, US
Edward B. Gindele - Rochester NY, US
Jeffrey C. Snyder - Fairport NY, US
Kevin E. Spaulding - Spencerport NY, US
Assignee:
Eastman Kodak Company - Rochester NY
International Classification:
G06K 9/62
G06K 9/40
US Classification:
382254, 382156
Abstract:
In an image enhancement method, a regular enhancement function and an aggressiveness parameter are computed using characteristics of a digital image. A first, relatively slow enhancement algorithm is applied to the digital image using the regular enhancement function, when an aggressiveness parameter is in a predetermined high range. A second, relatively fast enhancement algorithm is applied to the digital image using the regular enhancement function, when an aggressiveness parameter is in a predetermined low range. A modified enhancement function is calculated using characteristics of the digital image and is used with a second, relatively fast enhancement algorithm, when the aggressiveness parameter is in a predetermined medium range.

Printer Having Differential Filtering Smear Correction

View page
US Patent:
7847979, Dec 7, 2010
Filed:
Jul 7, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/482272
Inventors:
Raymond W. Ptucha - Honeoye Falls NY, US
Kurt M. Sanger - Rochester NY, US
Assignee:
Eastman Kodak Company - Rochester NY
International Classification:
H04N 1/407
US Classification:
358 326, 358 327, 347 20, 347 27, 347 32
Abstract:
In a method and printing apparatus, a receiver is moved in a travel direction relative to a print engine. The print engine has a predetermined profile of smear in the travel direction at a plurality of sites on the receiver. Each site corresponds to a respective one of the pixels. A digital image to be printed with the print engine is received and digitally filtered based on the profile to provide a filtered image. The filtering is localized, non-symmetrical, and at least partially compensatory of the smear. As the receiver is moved, the filtered image is printed on the receiver, the printing being modulated in accordance with the filtered image.

Laura R. Whitby - Rochester NY, US
William Bogart - Williamson NY, US
Raymond W. Ptucha - Honeoye Falls NY, US
Assignee:
Eastman Kodak Company - Rochester NY
International Classification:

H04N 5/76
H04N 5/262
US Classification:
348239, 3482071, 3482312, 3482316
Abstract:
A method of operating a digital image capture device including storing a plurality of digital image template files, each of the digital image template files include features of a digital image template such as a number, location, and shape of openings in the digital image template. Image attribute requirements are also stored in association with each of the openings for screening images to be disposed in an opening. The templates are displayed to a user for selecting a template. Images are captured and stored and each of the images include image attribute data. Stored images are automatically searched to identify images that may be automatically digitally placed into openings in the digital template. The image attributes of found images are those which satisfy image attribute requirements of the openings. A file containing a digital image template together with the images digitally disposed therein is saved in the capture device for future use such as printing the file or transmitting the file over a network.
