Title: Multi-view image coding method, multi-view image decoding method, multi-view image coding device, multi-view image decoding device, multi-view image coding program, and multi-viewimage decoding program
Inventor: SHIMIZU SHINYA
IPC: H04N7/32
Filed: 2010-02-05
Abstract: In the disclosed multi-view image encoding/decoding method in which a frame to be encoded/decoded is divided and encoding/decoding is done to each region, first, a prediction image is generated not only for the region to be processed, but also for the already encoded/decoded regions neighboring to the region to be processed. The prediction image is generated using the same prediction method for both kinds of regions. Next, correction parameters for correcting illumination and color mismatches are estimated from the prediction image and decoded image of the neighboring regions.  At this time, the estimated correction parameters can be obtained even at the decoding side, therefore, encoding them is unnecessary. Thus, by using the estimated correction parameters to correct the predicted image that was generated for the region to be processed, a corrected predicted image that can be actually used is generated.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a pneumatic system valve for a surgical console may be controlled by a controller configured to adjust a valve duty cycle (VDC) of the valve to reduce a difference between the valve's differential pressure and a desired differential pressure. In some embodiments, average differential pressures may be detected and relayed from a pressure sensor, coupled to one or more ports of the valve, to the controller. The controller may compare the measured average differential pressure against the desired average differential pressure (e.g., received from the user). The controller may then determine a modified VDC to reduce a difference between the desired average differential pressure and the measured average differential pressure. In some embodiments, the desired average differential pressure may be determined based on input received from a user of the surgical console.
