Latest Patents
Collier holds a patent for a "Hardware implementation of an HDTV color corrector." This invention discloses a hardware implementation of a digitized image corrector that converts a colorimetric representation of an original image into a new representation based on the colors of the original and target images, as well as user-supplied artistic parameters. The digitized image corrector receives digitized Red, Green, and Blue input signals that comprise a colorimetric representation of an original film scene. It generates digitized Red, Green, and Blue output signals according to the specifications of SMPTE 240 M. The system is comprised of four identical hardware correction modules, which receive correction parameters from an external source. Each module features a bypass switch for entering a bypass mode, allowing for reconfiguration of the module's correction parameters without affecting the output image. Each correction module processes digitized input signals and generates output signals by transforming the input according to predetermined correction parameters and a defined transfer function.
