It is linked to the fact that all pending patents are examined by humans. <br /><br />Fortunately if a patent is considered having been improperly granted, that's not a deadend you can break the abusive monopoly: a court can revise the examination and dismiss the patent.Danininoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-80264581484075313812013-08-19T03:50:48.980+03:002013-08-19T03:50:48.980+03:00The patent system is screwed.

Take a light field detector, add a dynamic range extension technology that was obvious 2 decades ago. Call it new. Get a legally enforcible monopoly on that combination.<br />Phunicularhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17391580744667915640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-67417933164083385492013-08-16T12:04:53.941+03:002013-08-16T12:04:53.941+03:00There have been several works on adapting pixel ga...There have been several works on adapting pixel gain according to the pixel output signal.

Doing this with AG manipulation is by no means innovative and in my opinion will result in tone-mapped image with out much difference from a pure software HDR engine. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
