Method of temporal noise reduction in video sequences
InactiveUS20060139494A1LessMaintain performanceTelevision system detailsColor signal processing circuitsPattern recognitionVideo sequence
A motion-adaptive temporal noise reducing method and system for reducing noise in a sequence of video frames is provided. Temporal noise reduction is applied to two video frames, wherein one video frame is the current input noisy frame, and the other video frame is a previous filtered frame stored in memory. Once the current frame is filtered, it is saved into memory for filtering the next incoming frame. A motion-adaptive temporal filtering method is applied for noise reduction. Pixel-wise motion information between the current frame and the previous (filtered) frame in memory is examined. Then the pixels in the current frame are classified into motion region and non-motion region relative to the previous (filtered) frame. In a non-motion region, pixels in the current frame are filtered along the temporal axis. In a motion region, the temporal filter is switched off to avoid motion blurring.

Intermediated delivery scheme for asymmetric fair exchange of electronic items
InactiveUS20040073790A1ConfidenceHard and expensiveKey distribution for secure communicationUser identity/authority verificationElectronic informationAsymmetry
A methodology and system is used to facilitate the exchange of valued electronic information in a confidential, fair, and efficient manner. Either of two protocols can be employed that used encryption and electronic signatures to effectively guarantee origin and identity of sender and receiver in the exchange of valued information and requires timely response by both sender and receiver. The protocols rely upon one or a plurality of postal agents (servers) to provide secured online exchange of the information by arranging an efficient validation of the required signatures and information being exchanged between the sender and receiver. In the event of a breakdown in the exchange between sender and receiver, the use of a trusted third party (TTP) allows for fair and pre-agreed arbitration based upon the encrypted information and electronic signatures of the sender and receiver. The method does not require the use of the TTP unless a dispute arises.

An immersion processing system is provided for cleaning wafers with an increased efficiency of chemical use. Such a system advantageously uses less cleaning enhancement substance that may be provided as gas, vapor or liquid directly to a meniscus or wafer / liquid / gas bath interface so as to effectively modify surface tensions at the meniscus with minimized chemical usage. Such a delivery system design may be applied for single wafer processing or for processing multiple wafers together within a single liquid bath vessel. For single wafer processing, in particular, cleaning enhancement substance can be delivered along one or both major sides of the wafer, preferably at the meniscus that is formed as the wafer and liquid are relatively moved, while a processing vessel usable for such single wafer processing may itself be designed with a minimized size to accommodate a single wafer. By reducing the vessel volume, chemical usage for any processing chemicals that are to be provided within a liquid bath may also be advantageously reduced.
