A Lexicon of Patent Jargon [IP Corner]
(2014)
Often when I am doing work related to patents and IP, I find myself talking a
different language. It is a strange legal dialect that patent lawyers have
developed over many years. Now while its original purpose was ...
What if digital cameras didn't need (local) storage?: directing photos to the cloud
(IEEE, 2012)
Cloud computing suggests that we can move computers from the desktop onto the network. In this article, we investigate whether we can do the same with digital imaging devices. After all, for most of us, the practical ...
Wireless remote control [IP Corner]
(IEEE, 2012-10)
The original Flashmatic patent was filed May 6th 1955 and granted Sept 8 1959 to the Zenith Radio Corporation. Even in those days it took almost 4 years to work through the patent examination process to have a legally ...
Advances in the detection & repair of flash-eye defects in digital images - a review of recent patents
(Bentham Science, 2012)
Red-eye and flash-eye defects in still photography continue to cause problems for digital imaging devices. New variants of flash-eye defects have appeared as cameras and cameras sub-systems get smaller in size. This paper ...
Understanding Patent Applications [IP Corner]
(IEEE, 2012)
In order to obtain the grant of a patent, a person or more commonly an organization, must file an application at a patent office with jurisdiction to grant a patent in the relevant geographic area. This is often be a ...
Repairability smackdown: how do the latest tablet models stack up?
(IEEE, 2013)
Tablets are the latest craze in the consumer electronics (CE) world. New models are hitting the shelves every few months, many featuring new screen and speaker technologies and the latest in low-power, high-performance ...
Total variation-based dense depth from multicamera array
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2018-05-20)
Multicamera arrays are increasingly employed in both consumer and industrial applications, and various passive techniques are documented to estimate depth from such camera arrays. Current depth estimation methods provide ...
Semiparallel deep neural network hybrid architecture: first application on depth from monocular camera
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2018-08-07)
Deep neural networks have been applied to a wide range of problems in recent years. Convolutional neural network is applied to the problem of determining the depth from a single camera image (monocular depth). Eight different ...
Smartphones, biometrics, and a brave new world
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2016-09-09)
In this article, we take a somewhat contrarian viewpoint - that biometrics may, in fact, offer solutions to many of today's cyber-security problems that appear with increasing frequency in prime-time news. This outcome ...
Pushing the AI envelope: merging deep networks to accelerate edge artificial intelligence in consumer electronics devices and systems
(IEEE, 2018-02-08)
Deep neural networks (DNNs) are widely used by both academic and industry researchers to solve many long-standing problems in machine learning. There has been such a growth of research in this field, and it has been applied ...
