Title: David J Woodham: Innovator in Digital Video Technology
Introduction
David J Woodham is a notable inventor based in Lower Earley, GB. He has made significant contributions to the field of digital video technology, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative spirit and technical expertise. His work has had a lasting impact on the way digital video effects are generated and manipulated.
Latest Patents
One of Woodham's latest patents is a digital video effects generator. This invention includes several advanced features, such as means for up-sampling digital video component signals prior to spatial transformation and linear interpolation. This process reduces losses due to the (sin x)/x frequency response of the sampled video signal. Additionally, it incorporates means for spatially mapping video motion data, which represents the degree of video data motion between temporally adjacent video frames. This allows for motion adaptive interpolation to selectively blend interpolated video field data. The generator also features means for pre-transform keying, enabling two video signal transformations to be keyed simultaneously. Furthermore, it allows for the selective transformation of portions of input video signals, facilitating the keying of non-spatially transformed video into selected regions of the video image. The invention also includes means for linking keyframes within separate effects, providing smooth parametric transitions between them. Lastly, it maintains 'pinned' image corners during parametric transitions between keyframes.
