ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,340,528, issued on June 24, was assigned to Imagination Technologies Ltd. (Kings Langley, Great Britain).

"Determining dominant gradient orientation in image processing using double-angle gradients" was invented by Ruan Lakemond (Cheltenham, Australia).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Methods and image processing systems are provided for determining a dominant gradient orientation for a target region within an image. A plurality of gradient samples are determined for the target region, wherein each of the gradient samples represents a variation in pixel values within the target region. The gradient samples are converted into double-angle gr...
