A method and system for a software driver of a graphics controller to work with a display codec. The software driver may be configured to work with different display codecs at different periods of time while using a default configuration. Other embodiments are also described.

Brightness and color tone shift distortion of captured images by a non-ideal lens can be compensated by applying an inverse transfer function to the captured image. An estimate of the lens transfer function can be measured based on a radius from a center of the lens. The lens transfer function can be measured by capturing a flat field image. The center of the lens can be determined based on a rela...
