Abstract: Embodiments of the invention describe a method and apparatus used to determine the position of a wiper on a potentiometer without the need for an external ADC. Two capacitors are each connected to an end of a potentiometer, and then are charged or discharged simultaneously by a current source or current sink attached to the wiper of the potentiometer. The time required for each of the capacitors to charge or discharge to a threshold voltage level is measured and subsequently used to determine the position of the wiper on the potentiometer.

Abstract: A reconstruction method based on a white-compensated luminance reconstruction and using filter weights referred to as smartgreen-parameters is proposed. An aliasing free luminance signal, even at the multiples of the sample frequency and in case of a camera without optical low pass filter is achieved. Moreover this white-compensated luminance-signal is free of signal distortion. The proposed method allows a suitable low pass filter to be added or combined and a is particular well suited to implement a variety of abasing free color- and contour-filters. The RGB color signals are reconstructed using filter weights which can be chosen as a function of the heaviness of the sensor matrix and of the optical transfer of the camera.
