IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 2009-11-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a method, device and computer-program product for suppression of undesired temporal variations, notably flicker, in a sequence of video frames. Histogram-based and similar approaches generally do not remove all flicker. Features that are resolved only in portions of the flicker cycle will manifest themselves as residual flicker. This effect is near-universal in bright regions of a scene. The inventive solution is a mapping that aims to resolve in the output only those features that are resolved in all frames of the flicker cycle. Use of time-maximal quantile values may preserve non-resolution of such image features that are unresolved due to intermittent bright saturation. Thus, in one embodiment, a reduction of resolution is attained by means of a pixel-value mapping based on selecting, over a time window, maximal and minimal quantile values, with maximal values being used for bright spatial regions and minimal values for dark spatial regions.

Abstract: The apparatus employs the remote field eddy-current (RFEC) inspection technique to electromagnetically measure physical parameters of a metallic pipe. RFEC devices inserted into and displaced along a cylindrical pipes may be used to measure the ratio of pipe thickness to electromagnetic skin-depth and thus allow for the non-invasive detection of flaws or metal loss. Typically these RFEC thickness measurements exhibit a so-called double-indication of flaws, an undesired artifact due to a double-peaked geometrical sensitivity function of the device. 
     The method describes a means by which this double indication artifact may be removed by an appropriate processing of RFEC measurements performed by an apparatus specifically designed for this purpose. The invention is particularly well designed for applications in the oilfield industry.

The high pressure discharge lamp ballast drives a high pressure discharge lamp with a synthesized-waveform alternating current made of multiple frequency components, the high pressure discharge lamp having a pair of electrodes disposed to face each other. The ballast includes: a control means for controlling a component contained ratio of the multiple frequency components per unit time; an output means for applying a synthesized-waveform current in accordance with the component contained ratio to the high pressure discharge lamp; and detection means for detecting a lamp parameter of the high pressure discharge lamp. The control circuit is configured to shift the component contained ratio to a first component contained ratio when the lamp parameter is in a first state, and shift the component contained ratio to a second component contained ratio when the lamp parameter is in a second state. The control circuit is configured to change the component contained ratio stepwise when the component contained ratio is shifted from the first component contained ratio to the second component contained ratio, or when the component contained ratio is shifted from the second component contained ratio to the first component contained ratio.
