Abstract: A process of color digital imaging synthesizes a new reproduction image based
on spatial comparisons rather than pixel matches. These spatial comparisons are made
first at large spatial separations (or smallest multi-resolution image) with the output
interpolated to make the old for the next smaller spatial-separation image image
(multi-resolution image). Ratio, product, reset, average, resize calculations are made
to calculate old intermediate image at this spatial separation (image size). The process
continues until spatial resolution equals 1.0 (full resolution). Alternatively, rather
than using multi-scalar images, ratios are calculated from a single resolution image
using increasingly smaller distances within the image.

Inventor: VAN SCHYNDEL ANDRE J
IPC: H04M9/08

Abstract: Handsfree telephony continues to be an increasingly
desirable feature of modern telecommunications, whether in a
conference room or mobile setting. Fundamental to the user
acceptability of these systems is the performance of algorithms
for acoustic echo cancellation, the purpose of which are to
prevent the far-end signal from being transmitted back to the
far-end talker. Most speech coding algorithms are based on
some variant of Linear Predictive Coding (LPC), which reduces
the amount of bits sent across a channel. Instead of doing
echo cancellation in the time domain, the invention involves
operating an acoustic echo canceller on the LPC parameters at
the receiver, before the decoding stage. Data which has
undergone this transformation is in a form more amenable to
echo cancellation. Specifically, the removal of signal
correlation through the LPC process improves the convergence
properties of adaptive filters using simple adaptation
algorithms such as the Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm. In
addition, the echo cancellation process and coding process can
share some of the computation processing load since the domain
transformation is already part of the coding stage.
