Title: Maximum flow method for stereo correspondence
Inventor: ROY SEBASTIEN
IPC: H04N13/243
Filed: 1998-04-09
Abstract: A method for solving the stereo correspondence
problem transforms the problem into a maximum-flow
problem. Once solved, the minimum-cut associated to the
maximum-flow results in a disparity surface for the
entire image at once. This global approach to stereo
analysis provides a more accurate and coherent depth map
than the traditional line-by-line stereo method. Moreover,
the optimality of the depth surface is guaranteed and can
be shown to be a generalization of the dynamic
programming approach that is widely used in standard
stereo. Results show improved depth estimation as well as
better handling of depth discontinuities. While the worst
case running time is O(n 3 d 3 ), the observed average
running time is O(n d 1,4 ) for an image size of n pixels
and depth resolution d.

Abstract: An optical head assembly having compatibility with a
recordable compact disk (CD-R) and a digital video disk
(DVD) comprises a stationary first optical unit (200) and
a second optical unit (300) which moves to a target sector
travelling between an inner circumference and an outer
circumference of a disk. The first optical unit (200)
directs an emitted first light beam having a wavelength of
635nm for a DVD' to the second optical unit (300) and
detects information contained in the first light beam redirected
from the second optical unit (300). Meanwhile,
the second optical unit (300) focuses both the first light
beam incident from the first optical unit (300) and an
emitted second light beam having a wavelength of 780nm for
a CD-R on an information recording surface of the loaded
optical disk transmits the first light beam reflected by
the optical disk to the first optical unit (200), and
detects information from the second light beam reflected
by the optical disk (8, 9).

Abstract: In an echo canceller, a first adaptive filter
circuit (11, 12) calculates first tap coefficients (H1)
using a first convergence coefficient (µ1), and generates
a first pseudo echo signal (HX1), and a first subtracter
(13) subtracts the first pseudo echo signal from a
transmitting signal to generate a first error signal
(E1). A first adaptive filter circuit (14, 15) calculates
second tap coefficients (H2) using a second convergence
coefficient (µ2), and generates a second pseudo echo
signal (HX2), and a second subtracter (16) subtracts the
second pseudo echo signal from the transmitted signal to
generate a second error signal (E2). A control circuit
(21, 22) selects one set of the first tap coefficients
and the second tap coefficients in accordance with a
received signal (X), the transmitted signal, and the
first and second error signals. A third adaptive filter
circuit (17, 18, 19) generates a third pseudo echo signal
(HX3) in accordance with the set of tap coefficients
selected by the control circuit and the received signal,
and a third subtracter (16) subtracts the third pseudo
echo signal from the transmitted signal to generate a
third error signal (E3).

Abstract: A system for effecting closure of one or more vehicle windows 30
comprises a portable transmitter unit 14 and a body control unit 12 which
can communicate via an alternating magnetic field produced and detected
by a pair of conducting coils 16a, 16b, and via a radio frequency transmitter
24 and receiver 22. On transmission of a R.F. closure request signal from
the transmitter unit 14, a confirmation request signal is sent by the body
control unit 12 via the magnetic link. The confirmation request signal is
repeated during closure of the window. The transmission unit responds to
each confirmation request signal by transmitting a R.F. confirmation signal,
receipt of which enables raising of the window to be initiated or continued.
Closure of the window is only initiated if the transmitter unit 14 is within
the relatively short range of the magnetic link, and only continues while it
remains within range. This reduces the danger of a person becoming
trapped by the closing window without the operator of the transmitter unit
realising.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of adaptively coding/decoding interlace shape
information estimates the amount of motion with respect to the binary alpha block (BAB). A
type of the BAB is determined according to the estimated amount of motion. When the BAB
falls under a type which needs coding, differences between pixel pairs in each line pair
comprising an odd and an adjacent even line are calculated and summed up to compute an
error of the frame. Differences between pixel pairs in consecutive odd line pairs and
differences between pixel pairs in consecutive even line pairs are calculated and summed up
to compute an error of individual fields. When the error of the frame is larger than that of the
separate fields, field type coding where coding is independently performed with respect to
each field is selected. When the error of the separate fields is larger than that of the frame,
frame type coding where coding is performed with respect to the frame is selected.

Abstract: A hybrid compiler-interpreter comprising a compiler for
"compiling" source program code, and an interpreter for interpreting the
"compiled" code, is provided to a computer system. The compiler comprises a
code generator that generates code in intermediate form with data references
made on a symbolic basis. The interpreter comprises a main interpretation
routine, and two data reference handling routines, a dynamic field reference
routine for handling symbolic references, and a static field reference routine for
handling numeric references. The dynamic field reference routine, when
invoked, resolves a symbolic reference and rewrites the symbolic reference into
a numeric reference. After rewriting, the dynamic field reference routine returns
to the main interpretation routine without advancing program execution to the
next instruction, thereby allowing the rewritten instruction with numeric
reference to be reexecuted. The static field reference routine, when invoked,
obtain data for the program from a data object based on the numeric reference.
After obtaining data, the static field reference routine advances program
execution to the next instruction before returning to the interpretation routine.
The main interpretation routine selectively invokes the two data reference
handling routines depending on whether the data reference in an instruction is
a symbolic or a numeric reference.

Abstract: A low drop-out (LDO) voltage regulator (10) and system
(100) including the same are disclosed. An error amplifier (38)
controls the gate voltage of a source follower transistor (24)
in response to the difference between a feedback voltage (V FB )
from the output (V OUT ) and a reference voltage (V REF ) . The source
of the source follower transistor (24) is connected to the gates
of an output transistor (12), which drives the output (V OUT ) from
the input voltage (V IN ) in response to the source follower
transistor (24). A current mirror transistor (14) has its gate
also connected to the gate of the output transistor (12), and
mirrors the output current at a much reduced ratio. The mirror
current is conducted through network of transistors (18, 22),
and controls the conduction of a first feedback transistor (28)
and a second feedback transistor (35) which are each connected
to the source of the source follower transistor (24) and in
parallel with a weak current source (34). The response of the
first feedback transistor (28) is slowed by a resistor (32) and
capacitor (30), while the second feedback transistor (35) is not
delayed. As such, the second feedback transistor (35) assists
transient response, particularly in discharging the gate
capacitance of the output transistor (12), while the first
feedback transistor (28) partially cancels load regulation
effects.

Abstract: Methods of making a full-color organic light-emitting display are
disclosed. The methods include ink-jet printing of fluorescent dopants selected to
produce red, green, or blue light emission from designated subpixels of the
display. The dopants are printed sequentially from ink-jet printing compositions
which permit printing of dopant layers over a light-emitting layer containing a
host material selected to provide host light emission in a blue spectral region. The
dopants are diffused from the dopant layer into the light-emitting layer by
exposing the light-emitting layer and the dopant layers to vapor of a fluid or fluid
mixture. When an ink-jet printing composition is formulated with a printing fluid
having fluid vapors which promote dopant diffusion, the steps of ink-jet printing
and diffusing of dopants can be combined to form a selectively doped light-emitting
layer.
