摘要： The present application discloses a method of model-based measurement of semiconductor device features using a scatterometer system. The method includes at least the following steps. A cost function is defined depending upon a plurality of variable parameters of the scatterometer system and upon a plurality of variable parameters for computer-implemented modeling to determine measurement results. Constraints are established for the plurality of variable parameters of the scatterometer system and for the plurality of variable parameters for the computer-implemented modeling. A computer-implemented optimization procedure is performed to determine an optimized global set of parameters, including both the variable parameters of the scatterometer system and the variable parameters for the computer-implemented modeling, which result in a minimal value of the cost function. Finally, the optimized global set of parameters is applied to configure the scatterometer system and the computer-implemented modeling. Other embodiments, features and aspects are also disclosed herein.

摘要： One embodiment disclosed relates to the use of object motion estimation to interlace a progressive video sequence. One of a plurality of consecutive frames is segmented and motion vectors for each segment are determined though object motion estimation. Interpolated motion vectors are used to construct at least one intermediate frame, and interlaced fields are extracted from the new sequence of frames that includes intermediate frames. An interlaced sequence with smooth, incremental motion is thus constructed from a progressive video sequence.

摘要： A method and apparatus for temporally filtering a video sequence using motion compensation in which motion information captures the motion of objects is disclosed. Pixels from a current frame are aligned with matching pixels from previous and/or future frames according to the motion of the surrounding object of arbitrary shape. A weighted average of the corresponding pixels is taken for each pixel in the current frame to produce a filtered version of the current frame. The weights may be adjusted to compensate for similarities between the frames and for blur transitions near object boundaries. A lighting offset may also be used to prevent erroneous lighting shifts during filtering.

摘要： An automated method for classifying an object in a sequence of video frames. The object is tracked in multiple frames of the sequence of video frame, and feature descriptors are determined for the object for each of the multiple frames. Multiple classification scores are computed by matching said feature descriptors for the object for each of the multiple frames with feature descriptors for a candidate class in a classification database. Said multiple classification scores are aggregated to generate an estimated probability that the object is a member of the candidate class. Other embodiments, aspects and features are also disclosed.
