U.S. Patent Classes & Classifications Covered in this Patent Portfolio: Class 348: Television Generating, processing, transmitting or transiently displaying a sequence of images, either locally or remotely, in which the local light variations composing the images may change with time.Subclass 218.1: Unitary image formed by compiling sub-areas of same scene (e.g., array of cameras)
Subclass 219.1: Swing driven
Subclass 225.1: With means for preventing colored object from effecting color balance
Subclass 266: With single image scanning device supplying plural color signals
Subclass 273: With color filter or operation according to color filter
Subclass 672: Using histogram
Subclass E9.006: With more than one pick-up device (EPO)
Subclass E9.01: Using solid-state devices (EPO)
Subclass E3.031: The image being sequentially picked-up by one device at different imaging positions, e.g., by shifting the image-sensor (EPO)
Subclass E5.058: Means for inserting a foreground image in a background image, i.e., inlay, outlay (EPO)
Class 358: Facsimile And Static Presentation Processing Communication or reproduction of a static image or sequence of static images in which the local light, or density variations composing the image do not vary with time by a method or apparatus involving at least one of the following steps: (1) scanning a static image to capture an image-containing area by resolving it into an area; (2) communication of an image-representative signal or image-representative data over any supporting communication network; or (3) reproduction of an image-containing area in response to an image-representative signal or image-representative image data by reproducing a corresponding image area which at least one of the two dimensions is elemental, simultaneously or in a sequence. In this class, a facsimile system or method is a system or method for the communication or reproduction of an arbitrarily composed image in which the local light, or density variations composing the image do not vary with time, such as documents maps, charts, photographs, etc., but not motion picture film or video.Subclass 518: Color correction
Class 382: Image Analysis This is the generic class for apparatus and corresponding methods for the automated analysis of an image or recognition of a pattern. Included herein are systems that transform an image for the purpose of (a) enhancing its visual quality prior to recognition, (b) locating and registering the image relative to a sensor or stored prototype, or reducing the amount of image data by discarding irrelevant data, and (c) measuring significant characteristics of the image.Subclass 169: With a gray-level transformation (e.g., uniform density transformation)
Subclass 173: IMAGE SEGMENTATION
Subclass 274: Intensity, brightness, contrast, or shading correction
Class 396: Photography Photographic apparatus, generally for recording a picture made by a source of light on a photographic medium. It includes fluid-treating apparatus for development of film, a removable film-holder unit, hood, camera housing, camera setting indicator and certain accessories related to photography not otherwise provided for such as studio structure, camera mounting or rest, camera attachment, retouching, or burnishing device. Non-chemical processes involving photographic apparatus are included in this class.Subclass 3: Background or foreground
