Extended Range Image Processing via Motion Vector Registration

The patent divides the image frame into multiple registration points (N registration points) and computes correlation functions independently at each point. This segmentation allows parallel processing of different regions, improving target detection precision through comprehensive coverage while managing computational complexity through distributed calculation across multiple points rather than processing the entire frame as a single unit.

The patent implements continuous frame integration where multiple image frames are processed and combined over time to produce stabilized output. By maintaining continuous processing of incoming frames and integrating them systematically, the system reduces noise and improves signal-to-noise ratio while managing processing time through ongoing rather than batch processing, allowing real-time or near-real-time output generation.

The patent applies partial integration by selecting and integrating a subset of frames rather than all available frames, or by integrating frames with different weighting factors. This partial action approach maintains real-time imaging speed by not waiting for complete frame sequences while still achieving sufficient noise reduction through selective integration of the most relevant frames, balancing speed and noise reduction capability.
