19 results about "Computational photography" patented technology

Computational photography refers to digital image capture and processing techniques that use digital computation instead of optical processes. Computational photography can improve the capabilities of a camera, or introduce features that were not possible at all with film based photography, or reduce the cost or size of camera elements. Examples of computational photography include in-camera computation of digital panoramas, high-dynamic-range images, and light field cameras. Light field cameras use novel optical elements to capture three dimensional scene information which can then be used to produce 3D images, enhanced depth-of-field, and selective de-focusing (or "post focus"). Enhanced depth-of-field reduces the need for mechanical focusing systems. All of these features use computational imaging techniques.

A physical perception snapshot compression imaging three-dimensional Gaussian splash reconstruction method and system

The method of snapshot compressive imaging three-dimensional Gaussian splatting reconstruction belongs to the field of computer vision and computational photography. A reconstruction network based on the hybrid architecture of stochastic gradient Langevin dynamics (SGLD) and explicit three-dimensional Gaussian representation is built. Then, multiple physical perception modules are combined to achieve the deep decoupling and reconstruction of the spatiotemporal information of dynamic scenes. Driven by the embedded decoupling deformation field, the deformation field contains a coarse-grained trajectory prediction branch and a fine-grained integral fitting branch: the coarse-grained branch combines low-frequency time coding with latent embedding features, enabling Gaussian primitives to capture global rigid motion trajectories and serving as a temporal regularizer; the fine-grained branch uses high-frequency time coding to predict non-rigid deformation and physically fits the motion blur stripes generated by temporal integration through anisotropic scale stretching. An adaptive density control strategy compatible with physics is introduced. Using the physical integral imaging simulation module, high-fidelity and multi-view consistent high-speed dynamic three-dimensional scene reconstruction results are obtained.

An inverse isp image reconstruction method based on diffusion model

PendingCN122289056APattern recognitionRgb image
This invention discloses an inverse ISP image reconstruction method based on a diffusion model, belonging to the fields of computer vision and computational photography. This method uses pure noise as the initial input and introduces the target RGB image as a conditional constraint during the diffusion-based inverse denoising process. By fine-tuning the pre-trained diffusion model using ControlNet, the model learns the mapping relationship between RGB and RAW, thereby gradually guiding the reconstruction of a RAW domain image consistent with the conditional RGB content. To improve the structural consistency, detail fidelity, and color / brightness response of the reconstruction results, this invention incorporates attention-guided strategies (such as spatial attention and cross-feature interactive attention) during the conditional injection process. This fully utilizes the edge, texture, and semantic information in the RGB image, suppressing artifacts and detail loss caused by inversion / reconstruction, and enhancing the ability to restore details in extreme exposure areas such as highlights and shadows.
