Title: Method for colorizing black and white film footage
Inventor: GESHWIND DAVID MICHAEL
IPC: G06T11/00
Filed: 1984-05-08
Abstract: Individual black and white frames from film (100) are colorized by combining optically or electronically with associated frames of colour film (120) or similar video images. These are generated by an operator assisted by computer (110). Every N<th> frame of black and white may be colorized by the operator, the spatial resolution of the color information being less than that of the black and white. Some of the intervening color frames may then be interpolated, the remainder being copied from adjacent frames. Similar techniques may be applied to full color film to repair damage or to create special effects. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2164493-A (GB)
Title: CCD structures using charge funnels
Inventor: WEIMER PAUL KESSLER
IPC: H04N5/335
Filed: 1985-09-06
Abstract: The charge funnel helps in overcoming a tendency towards uneven delays in raster scan lines directed in known CCD imagers of line transfer type. This tendency results from time-division- multiplex CCD fan-in circuitry ordinarily used to direct rows of charge packets sampling lines of image from the image register of the imager into an electrometer, from which an imager output (video) signal is derived. The tendency is eliminated by replacing the time division multiplex circuitry with a charge funnel structure (4) The CCD imager may include several charge funnels. <IMAGE>
