Patent EP-2106664-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PACE CHARLES P
IPC: H04N7/24
Filed: 2008-01-04
Abstract: Systems and methods for processing video are provided. Video compression schemes are provided to reduce the number of bits required to store and transmit digital media in video conferencing or videoblogging applications. A photorealistic avatar representation of a video conference participant is created. The avatar representation can be based on portions of a video stream that depict the conference participant. A face detector is used to identify, track and classify the face. Object models including density, structure, deformation, appearance and illumination models are created based on the detected face. An object based video compression algorithm, which uses machine learning face detection techniques, creates the photorealistic avatar representation from parameters derived from the density, structure, deformation, appearance and illumination models.

Lors du procédé de mesure de position, une projection d'une partie du code de position (11) est produite sur l'élément de détection (30) en fonction de la position du support de code (10), ce qui implique au moins une émission d'un rayonnement optique sur le support de code (10) à l'aide d'une diode laser (20) présentant un bord émetteur (21), et une détection de la projection par l'élément de détection (30). La position du support de code (10) par rapport à l'élément de détection (30) est déduite de la projection. Selon cette invention, l'axe de divergence de l'émission (26) de la diode laser s'étendant perpendiculairement au bord d'émetteur (21) est orienté de manière sensiblement parallèle à l'axe longitudinal (34) de l'élément de détection (30) lorsque la projection est produite sur l'élément de détection (30).

According to the invention is proposed, a distributed, wide-band amplifier with a low- frequency cut-off and a high-frequency cut-off in combination with a LCR network, of which wide-band amplifier the DC blocking capacitors define the low- frequency cut-off of the filter device, whilst the high-frequency cut-off is determined by the cut-off frequency of the artificial input and output transmission lines of the LCR network. In one embodiment, additional capacitors are coupled in parallel to the DC blocking capacitors of the LCR network, switchable by MOS transistors as switching elements. Accordingly, in a certain embodiment it is proposed to allow tuning of the low- and the high-frequency cut-off by programming with a digital control command.
