Patent EP-1328903-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LIN ZHONGMIN S
IPC: G01N23/04
Filed: 2001-07-11
Abstract: An adaptive median filter (32) provides dynamic detection and correction of digital image defects which are caused by defective or malfunctioning elements of a radiation detector array (20). The adaptive median filter receives (100) lines of pixel values of a digital image that may have defects and a user-defined defect threshold. The lines of pixel values are scanned on a pixel-by-pixel bases using a kernel of nxn pixels, where the kernel contains the candidate pixel being examined (120). Each kernel is numerically reordered (130) and a median value is calculated (140). A defect threshold value is calculated by multiplying the user-defined defect threshold criteria (44) and the candidate pixel value (150). A reference value is calculated by subtracting the candidate pixel value and the median value (160). The reference value is compared to the defect threshold value (170). The candidate pixel value is replaced by the median value (180) if it differs from the median value by more than the predefined defect threshold, e.g., 20 %. The adaptive median filter is particularly effective in detecting and correcting double line and double column defects in digital images. In addition, the filter minimizes image blurring and maintains image resolution by filtering only defective pixels.

Abstract: A system and method for decreasing the memory access time by determining if data will be written directly to the array or be posted through a data buffer on a per command basis is disclosed. A memory controller determines if data to be written to a memory array, such as a DRAM array, is either written directly to the array or posted through a data buffer on a per command basis. If the controller determines that a write command is going to be followed by another write command, the data associated with the first write command will be written directly into the memory array without posting the data in the buffer.; If the controller determines that a write command will be followed by a read command, the data associated with the write command will be posted in the data buffer, allowing the read command to occur with minimal delay, and the posted data will then be written into the array when the internal I/O lines are no longer being used to execute the read command.
