REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM, APPARATUS, AND METHOD

A video reception unit obtains a first video and a second video that are different in an imaging position from each other. An important video determination unit determines a video having a higher degree of importance on the basis of the first video and the second video. A video adjustment report unit transmits a transmission video adjustment report that is used to adjust qualities of the first video and the second video in accordance with a result of determining a degree of importance. A first video adjustment unit adjusts the first video on the basis of the transmission video adjustment report. A second video adjustment unit adjusts the second video on the basis of the transmission video adjustment report.

20170374334 · 2017-12-28 ·

One general aspect for motion-based video tonal stabilization uses a keyframe and motion estimation techniques to determine the level of spatial correspondence between input images and the keyframe. When the level of spatial correspondence is high, tonal stabilization is performed through regression and power law tonal transformation to minimize the color differences between images caused by automatic camera parameters without a priori knowledge of the camera model. Tonal error accumulation is reduced by using long-term tonal propagation.

Encoding and decoding based on blending of sequences of samples along time

Computer processor hardware receives image data specifying element settings for each image of multiple original images in a sequence.
