Automatic Media Edit Inspector

View page
US Patent:
7945126, May 17, 2011
Filed:
Dec 14, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/611073
Inventors:
Douglas E. Meisner - Minneapolis MN, US
Bruce J. Lindbloom - Eden Prairie MN, US
Michael Greenhalgh - Shakopee MN, US
Assignee:
Corel Corporation - Ottawa
International Classification:
G06K 9/03
G06K 9/40
G06K 15/02
G06F 17/00
US Classification:
382311, 382255, 345418, 358 12
Abstract:
A system that provides automatic background analysis of a digital image or other media element makes a determination that the image or media element may benefit from correction, and prompts the user to use a correction feature of the system. In some implementations, the prompt itself can navigate the user to the controls for the correction feature. Accordingly, users are notified when they might benefit from correction, and they can be further led to discover a feature with which they may have previously been unfamiliar.

Re-Coloring A Color Image

US Patent:
7990381, Aug 2, 2011
Filed:
Aug 31, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/514481
Inventors:
Bruce J. Lindbloom - Eden Prairie MN, US

International Classification:
G06T 15/50
US Classification:
345426, 345581, 345586, 345589
Abstract:
Technology for re-coloring a region of a color image including determining an original base color in a region of a color image; establishing at least one shading parameter in the region of the color image; and combining a new base color with the at least one shading parameter in the region of the color image thereby producing a re-colored region of the color image.

Color Selection And/Or Matching In A Color Image

US Patent:
8270709, Sep 18, 2012
Filed:
Aug 31, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/514480
Inventors:
Bruce J. Lindbloom - Eden Prairie MN, US
Assignee:
Corel Corporation - Ottawa
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382162
Abstract:
A method or computer program product for color selection in a color image, including operations or instructions for selecting a base color in a base color portion of a color image; computing a perceptual color difference between the base color and a respective second color in the color image; comparing the perceptual color difference to a tolerance; and, identifying whether the color difference satisfies the tolerance.

System For Describing A Color Gamut In A Graphical Data Processing System

View page
US Patent:
57400768, Apr 14, 1998
Filed:
Nov 30, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/565065
Inventors:
Bruce J. Lindbloom - Eden Prairie MN
Assignee:
Candela, Ltd. - Burnsville MN
International Classification:
G03F 300
G06F 1700
US Classification:
364514R
Abstract:
An improved method is described for obtaining, processing and displaying information relating to the ability of a display system to render any candidate color. This method is comprised of a Gamut Signal Encoder which produces a signal that is separately processed by a Distance Encoder, a Distance Classifier and Color Encoder and a Gamut Test Encoder, thus providing three processed signals for assisting in the understanding of a display device's ability to render the color.
