Adaptive Sensitivity
 The
problem
 Scene
contains very bright and very dark areas
 Solution
 Adaptive
Sensitivity expends the Dynamic
range :
 Conventional
cameras
 With Adaptive Sensitivity
 Pre
48db
72db
processing and processing parts.

Adaptive Sensitivity
Typical security
application
 Interior part is dark.
 Exterior part is Bright.
 In order to see interior
part :

 Shutter
i Sight
is open.
 Exposure time is longer
 exterior part becomes
saturated
8
Adaptive Sensitivity

In order to see the
exterior part
 Shutter
is closed
 Exposure time is
shorten.
 As a result - interior
part becomes too dark
with no information

The Solution
 Adaptive
Sensitivity
 Combining two
Exposures into one
image.

Super Resolution
 The
Problem
 Camera’s
sensors resolution is poor.
 Zoom function is needed.
 JPEG decompression creates artifacts.
 One interlaced video field is available to create
the frame.
 Solution
 Super
Resolution - Post-processing technique.

Application Example
 Zoom
on part of the
image.
 Higher image
resolution is required

Super resolution
 The
problem:
 Standard techniques:
 linear
interpolation
 polynomial
interpolations
 Creates
artifacts
 blockiness
 blur

Super Resolution
 Super
Resolution
 Creates
the impression
of higher resolution
 No artifacts
 No information is
added
 Post

Regional Equalization
 The
Problem:
 Image
local contrast is low.
 Due
to High dynamic range scene.
 Due to non optimal exposure.
 The
solution:
 Regional
Equalization - Post processing
technique.
