Latest Patents
One of Mutz's latest patents is titled "Method for cross-device color calibration and enhancement using explicit." This invention provides a method for transforming an input color space to an output color space, where each of a plurality of specified colors and/or color regions is constrained to be transformed by any one of a plurality of explicitly specified color calibration or color enhancement strategies. The method involves a two-step process: first, constraints are applied to some subset of the points in the input color space explicitly specifying the transform into the output color space; second, the remainder of the points are transformed by a mapping strategy that preserves color continuity. The preferred embodiment utilizes multi-dimensional look-up tables to implement the color transformation.
Another notable patent by Mutz is "Method for enhancing binary-rendered graphics and text for multi-level." This method enhances a digital image by comparing the value of a pixel in the digital image with neighboring pixels in an L-shaped pattern. It modifies the value of the pixel when it is located at a stair step, thereby reducing the appearance of jaggies.
