The U.S. Patent office has awarded a patent for the development of a new technology in video enhancement

The patented technology, titled "Visibility Improvement in Color Video Stream" is the outcome of one of the research activities at Old Dominion University's Vision Lab by Dr. Asari  and Li Tao who was a graduate student in the Vision Lab when the application was filed in 2005. Tao graduated in 2006 with a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering and is currently working as a Senior Scientist at Samsung Technologies, Irvine California. This patent was awarded on September 23, 2008.

The patent is for an amazing enhancement technique which can produce clear visibility in video streams. The most important factor is that this enhancement process is faster  when compared to other state of the art technologies and the enhancement can be performed in real time.

Dr. Asari received a US patent titled "Color Image Characterization, Enhancement and Balancing," which was awarded on April 22, 2008 for the outstanding research work done at Vision Lab with Ming-Jung Seow who was a graduate student in Vision Lab. Seow graduated in 2006 with a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering and currently works as a Senior Scientist at Behavioral Recognition Systems (BRS) Labs in Houston.
