Title: Rehalftoning of gray halftones with optimal screen frequency for robust suppression of moire
Inventor: LOCE ROBERT P
IPC: H04N1/40
Filed: 2003-05-14
Abstract: Optimal rehalftone screen frequencies are found by searching frequency space for points that are maximally spaced from significant frequency components of an input image halftone screen or screens. Selecting a rehalftone screen having a maximally spaced frequency produces more of the highest frequency possible. High frequency moiré are visually unobjectionable. Optimal rehalftone frequencies may be found near the maximally spaced points where system or other constraints limit the usefulness of the maximally spaced points. Rehalftone screen frequencies in the range of about 1.4 to about 1.8 times the fundamental frequency of the input image halftone screen are often optimal. A rehalftone screen frequency of 1.5 times the fundamental frequency of the input image halftone screen is often optimal when the input image is monochrome and uses a dot screen.

Title: Compression method for aviation weather products
Inventor: DONER JOHN ROBERT
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 2002-10-23
Abstract: An imagery compression algorithm (Fig.2) is disclosed for transmitting imagery data to an aircraft over a relatively narrow bandwidth channel. The imagery data is first trimmed (60) to include only images required by the aircraft during flight. The image is also decluttered by removing geographical boundary lines (62) and isolated pixels that likely do not represent relevant weather imagery data. The compression scheme provides a plurality of instructions for compressing the image data. The first instruction depicts the number of multiple image lines that contains no imagery data, i.e., they indicate only the background display color. Two instructions identify short background color segments and long background segments, wherein the division between short and long segments is a predetermined value. Each of the data or color pixels is individually encoded with a fourth instructions characterizing the number of successive data pixels followed by a bit sequence indicating the color of each individual data pixel.
