Granted: 2014-12-23
Abstract: L'invention consiste en un repérage et un traitement des taches de façon à les atténuer ou les supprimer. La tache pouvant ne se trouver que dans une composante couleur, on a la possibilité d'utiliser plusieurs composantes couleur pour repérer la tache. Pour un mode de réalisation de l'invention, on commence par (i) prendre une première image composante d'une image et la comparer à une première image composante d'une image de référence. On prend ensuite (ii) une deuxième image composante de l'image et on la compare à une deuxième image composante de l'image de référence. Enfin, sur la base de ces comparaisons (iii) on vérifie si la première image composante de l'image comporte une tache. On a aussi la possibilité d'utiliser plusieurs composantes couleur, notamment pour modifier la tache, ainsi que pour décider de l'opportunité d'effectuer la modification.

Inventor: CHEN TAO
IPC: H04W36/14
Filed: 1999-04-30
Granted: 2014-08-12
Abstract: A method and apparatus for coordinating the time at which a mobile station (5) performs searches for alternative systems to which a hard handoff will occur. In one system which includes the present invention, the mobile station (5) receives a command which instructs the mobile station (5) as to when to tune to alternative frequencies in order to search for indications of the presence of an alternative system. In another system which includes the present invention, predetermined times are defined with respect to a reference point in time that is common to both an origination base station (10) and a mobile station (5). The mobile station (5) tunes to alternative frequencies to perform searches only during these predetermined times. In addition, the mobile station (5) coordinates the transmission of reports which indicate the results of searches for alternative systems such that these reports are only transmitted from the mobile station (5) when the mobile station (5) is tuned to the origination frequency.
