Architectures for imager arrays configured for use in array cameras in accordance with embodiments of the invention are described. One embodiment of the invention includes a plurality of focal planes, where each focal plane comprises a two dimensional arrangement of pixels having at least two pixels in each dimension and each focal plane is contained within a region of the imager array that does not contain pixels from another focal plane, control circuitry configured to control the capture of image information by the pixels within the focal planes, where the control circuitry is configured so that the capture of image information by the pixels in at least two of the focal planes is separately controllable, sampling circuitry configured to convert pixel outputs into digital pixel data, and output interface circuitry configured to transmit pixel data via an output interface.

A method and apparatus that allows for the correction of multiple defective pixels in an imager device. In one exemplary embodiment, the method includes the steps of selecting a correction kernel for a defective pixel, determining average and difference values for pixel pairs in the correction kernel, and substituting an average value from a pixel pair for the value of the defective pixel.

This invention discloses one display method, which divides the relative original grey values into higher and lower grey values and divides the secondary pixel area into two sets in same color suitable for high and low second grey values; each set displayed grey values are computed from itself pixel and near higher grey value or lower grey value through different weigh proportion to solve the problem if different vision angles.

A display apparatus that displays a composite image of a front image and a back image. The display apparatus includes: a front-image change detecting unit 42 that detects a difference in a visual characteristic between a sub-pixel and the surrounding sub-pixels in a front image; a filtering necessity judging unit 43 that judges for each sub-pixel in the front image whether a sub-pixel should be subject to the filtering process or not, based on the degree of the detected difference; and a filtering unit 45 that performs the filtering process only on sub-pixels in the composite image that correspond to the sub-pixels that have been judged as having to be subject to the filtering process.

A method and an apparatus automatically detect vessels in a diagnostic image. The method according to one embodiment accesses digital image data representing a diagnostic image; detects vessel candidates in the diagnostic image by processing the diagnostic image data, the step of detecting vessel candidates including identifying edge pixel pairs of vessels in a diagnostic image by iteratively adjusting a plurality of constraints relating to a general direction and shape of a vessel for a next iteration of edge pixel pair identification in a diagnostic image; and determines whether the plurality of edge pixel pairs form a vessel using learned features.

A method and a system for scaling a digital source image consisting of a grid of X by Y pixels into a target image of a different resolution comprises the steps of / tools for:mapping the source pixels onto the target pixels;scaling the source image in the X or Y direction to produce intermediate pixels that are scaled in one direction by determining contributions to each intermediate pixel using a digital filter and accumulating the contributions for each intermediate pixel, wherein each source pixel contributes to one or more intermediate pixels and each intermediate pixel receives contributions from one or more source pixels; and subsequentlyscaling the intermediate pixels in the other direction by determining the contributions to each target pixel using the filter and accumulating the contributions for each target pixel;wherein each intermediate pixel contributes to one or more target pixels and each target pixel receives contributions from one or more intermediate pixels.The method is preferably carried out on a PE array in an SIMD (Simple Instruction Multiple Data) device.

Apparatus includes unit configured to compute parallax search range in (x-y-d) three-dimensional space formed of three variables (x and y providing first point (x, y) on first image and parallax candidate d), similarity unit configured to compute degree-of-similarity C (x, y, d) between point (x, y) and second point (x′, y′) corresponding to point (x, y), using sum of products of brightness levels of corresponding pixel pairs between first window on first image and second window on second image, first window including first point (x, y) second window including second point (x′, y′) and unit configured to compute parallax D between first point (x, y) and second point (x′, y′), based on C (x, y, d), where similarity unit includes unit configured to store sum, which is used for computing C (x, y, d) between new first point on first image and new second point on second image.

The embodiment of the invention discloses a mura phenomenon compensation method of a display panel. The method comprises the steps of compressing an area interval with n*m pixels, and storing a preset mura compensation value corresponding to one of first pixels in each area; according to a compensation value of the preset mura, conducting linear interpolation calculation to obtain mura compensation values of other pixels except the first pixel in the same area, and conducting mura compensation on the display panel; after the display panel conducts the mura compensation, obtaining information that a mura phenomenon still exists in the Xth area, wherein the Xth area belongs to the area formed by compressing the area interval with n*m pixels of the display panel; obtaining a final gray-scale compensation curve formula; according to the preset mura compensation value and the final gray-scale compensation curve formula, calculating supplementary mura compensation values corresponding to other pixels except the first pixel in the Xth area; conducting mura compensation on the Xth area again. The embodiment of the invention further discloses the display panel. By adopting the mura phenomenon compensation method of display panel and the display panel, the mura phenomenon compensation method of the display panel has the advantages that nonuniform brightness of a picture of the display panel can be alleviated.
