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 Sight 2

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 i Sight 4 Israel).

Technology u Unique u Image patented technologies acquisition u Adaptive u Image Sensitivity. TM enhancement: u Super Resolution u Regional Equalization u Meeting room solution u Omni. Sight. TM. i Sight 5

Technology (continue) u Complete Digital Camera Technology ui Sight i. SP 2000 DSP. u Digital Camera Design. u Panoramic (3600) Camera System. i Sight 6

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 u With Adaptive Sensitivity u Pre 48 db 72 db processing and processing parts. i Sight 7

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 i Sight is open. u Exposure time is longer u exterior part becomes saturated 8

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 Sight 9

Adaptive Sensitivity u The Solution u Adaptive Sensitivity u Combining two Exposures into one image. i Sight 10

Adaptive Sensitivity i Sight 11

Adaptive Sensitivity i Sight 12

Adaptive Sensitivity - Status u Implemented in a real time DSP chip u Implemented in various products i Sight 14

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 Sight 15

Super Resolution u Application Example u Zoom on part of the image. u Higher image resolution is required i Sight 16

Super resolution u The problem: u Standard techniques: u linear interpolation u polynomial interpolations u Creates artifacts u blockiness u blur i Sight 17

Super Resolution u Creates the impression of higher resolution u No artifacts u No information is added u Post processing technique i Sight 18

Super Resolution i Sight 19

Super Resolution u The problem u Interlaced Video freezing an interlaced video. u slow motion. u printing from video u i Sight 20

Super Resolution u Standard interpolation methods are not good enough. i Sight 21

Super Resolution u The Solution: u Super Resolution i Sight 22

Super Resolution - Status u Software for still image enhancement u Application in Agfa DSC Ephoto 1280 i Sight 24

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 Sight 25

Regional Equalization u The problem: u Low i Sight local contrast 26

Regional Equalization u The Solution u Regional i Sight Equalization 27

Regional Equalization u Simple i Sight demo 28

Regional Equalization - Status u Software Demo u Real Time H/W prototype i Sight - available 30

Products - i. SC 2020 u Extended Dynamic Range. u Remote Camera Miniature Head. u Integrated digital Storage/Retrieval. i Sight 35
