Patent CA-2615298-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BLAKE ANDREW
IPC: G06K9/36
Filed: 2006-07-28
Abstract: Previously, Poisson blending has been used for image blending including cloning an object onto a target background and blending pairs of source images together. Such Poisson blending works well in many situations. However, whilst this method is always workable, we have found that discolorations sometimes occur. We realized that these discolorations occur when the gradient of the source image is preserved too insistently, at the expense of preserving object and background color. In some situations object outlines become smeared or blurred. We develop a color preservation term and a fragility measure to address these problems. This gives a user additional control to obtain smooth compositions and reduce discoloration artifacts.

Title: Efficient utilization of transmission gaps for cell measurements
Inventor: BHATTACHARJEE SUPRATIK
IPC: H04W24/10
Filed: 2007-03-02
Abstract: A terminal communicates with a first wireless network and obtains a list of cells in a second wireless network to measure. The terminal operates in a compressed mode and receives multiple transmission gap pattern sequences for different measurement purposes, e.g., RSSI measurements, BSIC identification, and BSIC re-confirmation. The terminal utilizes each transmission gap for its designated purpose or an alternate purpose. For each transmission gap, the designated purpose for the transmission gap is ascertained, and whether the transmission gap is usable for an alternate purpose is also determined based on at least one criterion. The transmission gap is used for the alternate purpose if the at least one criterion is satisfied and is used for the designated purpose otherwise. For example, a transmission gap designated for RSSI measurement may be used for BSIC identification, a transmission gap designed for BSIC identification or BSIC re-confirmation may be used for RSSI  measurement, and so on.
