The present invention concerns the discrimination of good measurement results measured by a computer vision system from bad results. By the method of the invention, values calculated from the observation vectors of several measuring devices can be discriminated into good and bad values by using a quality factor. The quality factor is calculated from the parameters of an error ellipsoid. The error ...

Reduction of film grain in digitized photographs and motion picture footage is an important problem with applications in such areas as special effects compositing, archival restoration, and fixed-bandwidth lossy compression. Current techniques widely used in practic e (such as median filtering) are shown, both theoretically and practically, to be significantl y suboptimal for this problem, especia...
