    • A digital image processing system for displaying digitized images on a screen of a display unit includes a data base such as a compact disc on which the digitized images are stored, a plurality of image memories for holding the digitized images for display, and a display unit having a screen including a two-dimensional array of pixels. The screen is divided into sections by designating subsets of the screen pixels by row and column, and the images stored in the image memories are allocated to the sections of the screen by mapping image data pixels to the screen pixels. Under user control, different images may be displayed on different sections of the screen. The number of images, and the specific images from the data base, are user selectable and independently manipulable. To reduce a latency time for displaying images responsive to user commands, the images may be arranged in a sequence. Responsive to a user command to load a first image into an image memory and display it, one or more other images adjacent to the first image in the sequence are read from the data base and held in other image memories, otherwise unused. Thus, if a subsequent user command directs the system to display one of the adjacent images, the latency time for reading that image from the data base and holding it in another image memory is reduced.
    • 一种用于在显示单元的屏幕上显示数字化图像的数字图像处理系统包括诸如其上存储有数字化图像的光盘的数据库,用于保持用于显示的数字化图像的多个图像存储器和显示单元 具有包括二维像素阵列的屏幕。 屏幕通过按行和列指定屏幕的子集分为多个部分,并且通过将图像数据像素映射到屏幕像素将存储在图像存储器中的图像分配给屏幕的部分。 在用户控制下,可能会在屏幕的不同部分显示不同的图像。 图像数量和来自数据库的特定图像是用户可选择且可独立操作的。 为了减少响应于用户命令显示图像的延迟时间,图像可以按顺序排列。 响应于将第一图像加载到图像存储器并显示它的用户命令,从数据库读取与序列中的第一图像相邻的一个或多个其它图像,并保存在其他图像存储器中,否则不使用。 因此,如果随后的用户命令指示系统显示相邻图像中的一个,则减少从数据库读取该图像并将其保持在另一图像存储器中的等待时间。

    • A sensor 11 for a video camera includes a color filter array 12 of color filter elements covering a like array 14 of image sensing elements. Two fields of a video frame are provided by interlaced transfer of image signals from the sensor 11. The color filter array 12 is configured in relation to the sensor array 14 such that at least 75% of the image sensing elements are luminance-sensing (e.g., green) elements and the rest are chrominance-sensing (e.g., red and blue) elements. Furthermore, the chrominance-sensing elements of the same type (red or blue) are separated in a horizontal direction by at least three luminance-sensing (green) elements. The horizontal sampling frequency of the chrominance-sensing elements is increased by arranging horizontal lines containing the chrominance-sensing elements of the same type in staggered line pairs with the chrominance-sensing elements of one line appearing in different columns of the sensor in relation to chrominance sensing elements of the other line.

    • A zoom lens magnification control mechanism for a photoprint digitizing scanner contains an adjustable focus, zoom lens. The photoprint image projection path is incident upon a high resolution CCD sensor, image output signals from which are digitized for storage on a compact disc. Control of the operation of the scanner includes the use of a display device to which output signals provided by the photosensor are coupled so as to display the projected image. Whenever a photoprint is presented to the scanner an indication of the size of the photoprint is provided, as by way of a code stored on a photoprint platen, in order to set the magnification setting of the zoom lens. The photofinisher observes the display of the image projected on the photosensor and adjusts, as necessary, the operation of the zoom lens so that the image displayed by the display device fits the display screen. Using a program feature of a user interface, the photofinisher stores in memory information representative of the adjustment of the operation of zoom lens. Then, for subsequent presentations of photoprints to the scanner, the stored adjustment information is used as a magnification setting default value for a respective photoprint size. Whenever the magnification of the zoom lens is adjusted, there is an accompanying change in the focus ring of the lens, so that the displayed image is maintained in focus.

    • A method for decoding National Television System Committee (NTSC) signals which exploits redundancies in film-to-NTSC transcoding, known as "3-2 pull-down". The decoding method estimates luma (Y) and chroma (C). The "3-2 pull-down" structure assigns three NTSC fields to one frame of a film frame pair, and two NTSC fields to the other film frame. Luma and chroma in different film frames are separated using different methods, and the separated signals are better than the separated signals achieved using conventional one dimensional and two dimensional NTSC decoding methods. The new method for separating luma and chroma from composite NTSC signals can be combined with an interlace-to-progressive method, which converts the decoded 3-2 NTSC signals to 2 film frames, and an upconversion procedure, to yield improved image quality.
    • 用于解码国家电视系统委员会(NTSC)信号的方法,该信号利用称为“3-2下拉”的电影到NTSC转码的冗余。 解码方法估计亮度(Y)和色度(C)。 “3-2下拉”结构将三个NTSC场分配给电影帧对的一个帧,并将两个NTSC场分配给另一个电影帧。 使用不同的方法分离不同胶片帧中的亮度和色度,并且分离的信号优于使用常规一维和二维NTSC解码方法实现的分离信号。 用于将亮度和色度与复合NTSC信号分离的新方法可以与逐行扫描方法组合,其将解码的3-2 NTSC信号转换为2个胶片帧,并将上转换过程转换成图像质量。

    • A digitized image previewer framestore apparatus enables a photofinisher to rapidly view what is seen by a high resolution CCD image sensor (but at a lower resolution) on a preview display. A selected portion or selected portions of the imagery data derived by way of the array of pixel elements of the high resolution sensor are controllably coupled to a pair of `ping-pong` write/read memories. The image resolution or storage capacity of each of memory is less than that of the high resolution CCD sensor and is considerably less than that of the 3072.times.2048 resolution of a high resolution color output image to be stored on compact disc. Depending upon the selected portion of the image incident on the CCD sensor is to be viewed, respective pixel and line rate clocks for the CCD sensor are subsampled and coupled to address generating counters used to access the ping-pong memories. As a result, only those CCD pixels for which (subsampled) clock signals have been generated will be displayed. By `ping-ponging` write-in and read-out of the memory pair, a first low resolution image may be written into one of the memories, while a second low resolution image is being rapidly read out and displayed. Then, at the end of the write-in frame interval, the contents of the newly loaded memory are rapidly read out to the preview display, while the next selected low resolution portion of the sensor image is being written into the memory the contents of which were previously read out and displayed.

    • A stereoscopic electronic viewer for a stereo image pair provided in a fixed medium includes a light source which passes light rays through the fixed images of the stereo image pair. The rays project onto a mirror which redirects the rays through a lens unit. The light rays from each image are associated with a particular lens in the lens unit which focuses the image onto an associated CCD image sensor. The two CCD image sensors have separate but synchronized electronics and provide a synchronized output which is fed to a stereo viewing device such as stereo goggles or a time-multiplexed polarized display. The electronic viewer is mechanically designed to manipulate the image produced on the display device to allow for panning and zooming of the stereoscopic image while maintaining the full resolution provided by the image sensor.

    • In a signal processing network including a color correction matrix and gamma compensation, detail processing is disclosed that includes a detail extraction circuit for generating a detail signal from an un-matrixed green signal and a detail enhancement circuit for adding the detail signal to the matrixed, gamma-corrected red, green and blue signals. The un-matrixed green signal is converted to a gamma-corrected green signal and separately input to vertical and horizontal high pass filters, which separate detail components representative of vertical and horizontal detail, respectively. The vertical detail is additionally input to a horizontal low pass filter to eliminate excessive enhancement of diagonal image components. The detail components are cored and input to the detail enhancement circuit. As a result of bypassing the color correction matrix and inserting the modified detail, including the diminished diagonal contribution, into the signal channel after gamma correction, the various detail components receive a substantially uniform visual enhancement regardless of orientation or density in the image.
