Abstract: An apparatus and method for extracting object based on feature matching
between segmented regions in images are provided. The apparatus includes an
image input unit (110) for receiving a query image including an object and an object
extraction target image from which the object included in the query image is to be
extracted; an object position determination unit (120) for determining a position of the
object in the object extraction target image using pixel based color feature matching;
an image segmentation unit (130) for segmenting each of the query image and the
object extraction target image into a plurality of regions using image features
including color or texture; and an object region determination unit (140) for
performing matching between the segmented regions in the query image and the
segmented regions in the determined position of the object in the object extraction
target image using color or texture features and determining a final object region
using similarity in spatial adjacency between matching regions obtained as a result
of the matching. Accordingly, an image region of a particular object can be
automatically extracted from an object extraction target image. Therefore, the
apparatus can be applied to video editors, video authoring tool, object based video
encoder, interactive video authoring tool, and the like.

Inventor: NASU HIDEYUKI
IPC: G02B6/42
Filed: 2002-08-22
Abstract: A wavelength monitor capable of obtaining an optical detection signal of
high quality is proposed. In the wavelength monitor, a light incident
surface of an optical filter (52) is disposed with an inclination relative to
the light incident direction. With this arrangement, it is possible to
make the route of a reflection light (86) that has been reflected from
the light incident surface of the optical filter (52) deviate large from the
route of an incident light (83) that has been incident to the optical filter
(52). Consequently, the reflected light is prevented from being incident
to a semiconductor laser device or optical detectors (41).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for convergence correction in a television receiver and to a television receiver, in particular a projection television receiver having in each case one monochromatic picture tube for the three primary colours, red, green and blue, the images of which can be projected onto a picture screen. Each picture tube is assigned a correction device, which comprises a convergence circuit. The convergence circuit is assigned a memory in which correction values for the convergence correction of the three picture tubes are stored. In accordance with the correction values, the convergence circuit generates output signals, which are output to a correction device, which in each case comprise at least one correction coil and, for each correction coil, one driver circuit. A correction current is applied to the associated correction coil in order to correct image defects of a picture tube. According to the invention, the convergence circuit also has control means by means of which the output signals output to the correction devices can be influenced in such a way that the same correction is always effected on the picture screen for a specific correction value, independently of the gain of the respective driver circuit.

Abstract: A method of controlling the backlight assembly of a display apparatus according to
the ambient light level is presented. When there is sufficient ambient light to achieve a
desired level of brightness in a display apparatus, the backlight assembly is turned off to
conserve power. On the other hand, when the amount of ambient light is insufficient for
achieving the desired brightness level, the backlight assembly is turned on to supplement the
ambient light so that the display apparatus will provide the desired brightness level regardless
of the amount of ambient light. In some embodiments, the intensity of the light emitted by
the backlight assembly is adjusted according to the ambient light level. Optionally, the
display apparatus is switched between transmissive mode and reflective mode depending on
the ambient light level. The voltage applied to the display panel is adjusted depending on
the operational mode.

Title: Method for improving wear resistance of polymeric bioimplantable components
Inventor: HAMILTON JOHN V
IPC: A61L27/00
Filed: 1996-04-02
Abstract: Wear resistance and oxidation resistance of bioimplantable polymeric parts is improved by packaging the parts within flexible, gas impermeable containers while subjecting the containers and the parts to a relatively high vacuum force. The containers are heat sealed while subjected to the vacuum force such that, upon sealing, hydrostatic pressure is exerted on the part. Following sealing of the packages, the packages and their contents are irradiated to an extent sufficient to sterilize the parts and to promote crosslinking within the part. Alternatively, the same property enhancements can be imparted to polymeric parts by packaging the part within rigid or flexible containers, minimizing the oxygen content within the containers, pressurizing the containers with an inert gas, or with a mixture of hydrogen and an inert gas, to greater than 1.5 atmospheres, and irradiating the part and the container.
