Disney patents image checker that ignores texture when finding flaws
Disney describes a method for checking video images for visual errors or 'artifacts.' The system analyzes the texture of the image to decide where to look closely, focusing more on smooth areas and less on busy, textured parts to create an overall quality score.
In the filing’s own words
In some embodiments, a method receives an image to analyze for artifacts. Texture information that characterizes texture in the image is determined. The method merges the texture information with the image. The texture information is used to focus an analysis of artifacts more in a first region of the image and focus less in a second region of the image. The method outputs a score based on the processing of the image that assesses the artifacts in the image.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method comprising: receiving an image to analyze for artifacts; determining texture information that characterizes texture in the image; merging the texture information with the image, wherein the texture information is used to focus an analysis of artifacts more in a first region of the image and focus less in a second region of the image; and outputting a score based on processing of the image that assesses the artifacts in the image.
