Regina M Loverde

Title: Regina M. Loverde and Image Processing Innovations.

Introduction

Regina M. Loverde is an inventor based in Webster, New York, whose patent work addresses image processing and tone reproduction. Her inventions describe methods for generating and adjusting tone reproduction curves to help image processing systems respond to different input and output devices. She is associated with Xerox Corporation and holds 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Loverde’s patent, “Systems and Methods That Determine an Image Processing System Tone Reproduction Curve,” describes determining a system tone reproduction curve using information about image input and output terminals. This device-independent approach can generate curves as needed and accommodate changes to either terminal.

Her patent, “Systems and Methods to Determine a Contrast and a Brightness Adjusted System Tone Reproduction Curve,” concerns adjusting a system tone reproduction curve for contrast and brightness. The adjustments may be specified by a user or determined automatically through image analysis. The method combines generic tone reproduction curves with the system curve to produce an adjusted curve, avoiding the need to calculate and store curves for every possible contrast and brightness combination.

Career Highlights

Loverde’s patent contributions focus on practical techniques for managing tone reproduction in image processing systems. Her work addresses both the generation of device-independent curves and their adjustment to meet image and user requirements.

Collaborations

Loverde is associated with Xerox Corporation. Her listed coworkers include Julie Ann Fisher and Ramesh Nagarajan.

Conclusion

Regina M. Loverde’s patents describe flexible approaches to generating and adjusting tone reproduction curves, supporting adaptable image processing across different devices and image requirements.
