i Sight1 April 1998

i Sight2 Objective u Present i Sight Company. u Present i Sight Technologies. u Description of technologies. u Status of each technology. u Discuss possible cooperation.

i Sight3 i Sight Company Profile

i Sight4 Company’s Background u Established in 1990 u Developing, manufacturing and marketing advanced digital video communication products. u Our technology is based upon research of the human eye mechanisms. u A member of Clal Electronics Industries. (The biggest electronics holding company in Israel).

i Sight5 Technology u Unique patented technologies u Image acquisition u Adaptive Sensitivity TM u Image enhancement: u Super Resolution u Regional Equalization u Meeting room solution u OmniSight TM.

i Sight6 Technology (continue) u Complete Digital Camera Technology u i Sight iSP2000 DSP. u Digital Camera Design. u Panoramic (360 0 ) Camera System.

i Sight7 Adaptive Sensitivity u The problem u Scene contains very bright and very dark areas u Solution u Adaptive Sensitivity expends the Dynamic range : u Conventional cameras 48db u With Adaptive Sensitivity 72db u Pre processing and processing parts.

i Sight8 Adaptive Sensitivity u Typical security application u Interior part is dark. u Exterior part is Bright. u In order to see interior part : u Shutter is open. u Exposure time is longer u exterior part becomes saturated

i Sight9 Adaptive Sensitivity u In order to see the exterior part u Shutter is closed u Exposure time is shorten. u As a result - interior part becomes too dark with no information

i Sight10 Adaptive Sensitivity u The Solution u Adaptive Sensitivity u Combining two Exposures into one image.

i Sight11 Adaptive Sensitivity

i Sight12 Adaptive Sensitivity

i Sight13 Adaptive Sensitivity

i Sight14 Adaptive Sensitivity - Status u Implemented in a real time DSP chip u Implemented in various products

i Sight15 Super Resolution u The Problem u Camera’s sensors resolution is poor. u Zoom function is needed. u JPEG decompression creates artifacts. u One interlaced video field is available to create the frame. u Solution u Super Resolution - Post-processing technique.

i Sight16 Super Resolution u Application Example u Zoom on part of the image. u Higher image resolution is required

i Sight17 Super resolution u The problem: u Standard techniques: u linear interpolation u polynomial interpolations u Creates artifacts u blockiness u blur

i Sight18 Super Resolution u Super Resolution u Creates the impression of higher resolution u No artifacts u No information is added u Post processing technique

i Sight19 Super Resolution

i Sight20 Super Resolution u The problem u Interlaced Video u freezing an interlaced video. u slow motion. u printing from video

i Sight21 Super Resolution u Standard interpolation methods are not good enough.

i Sight22 Super Resolution u The Solution: u Super Resolution

i Sight23 Super Resolution u Please look also at printed examples of S.R.

i Sight24 Super Resolution - Status u Software for still image enhancement u Application in Agfa DSC Ephoto 1280

i Sight25 Regional Equalization u The Problem: u Image local contrast is low. u Due to High dynamic range scene. u Due to non optimal exposure. u The solution: u Regional Equalization - Post processing technique.

i Sight26 Regional Equalization u The problem: u Low local contrast

i Sight27 Regional Equalization u The Solution u Regional Equalization

i Sight28 Regional Equalization u Simple demo

i Sight29 Regional Equalization u Please look also at printed examples Of Regional Equalization

i Sight30 Regional Equalization - Status u Software Demo - available u Real Time H/W prototype - available

i Sight31 Applications - Consumer u Camcorders u Adaptive Sensitivity for better image acquisition. u Super Resolution for better Zoom function. u Regional Equalization for better image. u Digital Still Camera u Super Resolution - for higher image resolution. u Regional Equalization - for better image.

i Sight32 Applications - Medical u Endoscopy u Adaptive sensitivity. u Regional Equalization. u Microscopy u Adaptive Sensitivity + Long integration. u Regional Equalization. u Super Resolution.

i Sight33 Applications - Industrial u Surveillance u Adaptive Sensitivity. u Long Integration. u Motion Detection u Machine Vision u Adaptive Sensitivity. u Super Resolution.

i Sight34 Products u Cameras. u iSC PC Based Remote Head Camera. u iSC Compact Remote Head Camera. u iSC High Level Industrial Camera. u iSC High Level Day / Night Camera. u OmniSight - The solution for natural meeting. u OEM products.

i Sight35 Products - iSC2020 u Extended Dynamic Range. u Remote Camera Miniature Head. u Integrated digital Storage/Retrieval.

i Sight36 Products - iSC2050 u Extended Dynamic range - up to 72db. u Low Light options. u Remote camera miniature head. u Programmable Statistics.

i Sight37 Products - iSC3010/iSC3020 u Adaptive Sensitivity u Motion Detection u Remote Control u Low Light Options.

i Sight38 OEM Products u Cameras. u Software for DSC. u Sub Systems.
