DVnPhoto.com: The Most Significant Discovery in Visual Science Over the Last

NEW YORK, July 28 PRNewswire — DarbeeVision (DVn) has unleashed their unique realism and depth enhancement technology for digital images. The release of the DVnPhoto 1.1 software program is the first time the world can get a look behind the controls of this unique and patented technology (www.dvnphoto.com/news). DVn software makes digital images look amazingly dimensional and clear. It has been used and tested by Hollywood and the image media industry for film projects (Robert Altman's Gosford Park and The Company), television commercials, billboards and large scale photographic art prints. Now everyone can explore the power of embedding depth cues within 2D and 3D images to create deeper levels of realism.

Anybody can now download the DVnPhoto 1.1 program for free from the new DarbeeVision website www.DVnPhoto.com. To encourage users to experience the technology for themselves, DarbeeVision is offering a limited time offer for each new user free credit for their account. After the free credit is used up, there is a nominal fee for saving output images to disk. This version of DarbeeVision software is for still images up to 100 MB and can import most all image file types. The website features an image gallery (www.dvnphoto.com/gallery) that showcases the range of image enhancement that is possible.

DVn Patented Technology Partners and Licensees

DarbeeVision executives are exploring the possibilities for commercial applications of the core patented DVn intellectual property. Groundbreaking technology solutions in moving aperture, multi-aperture, optical lensing, virtual lensing, video hardware, and software plug-ins for image processing and post production are all possible. There are a host of business opportunities currently being developed, such as an embedded webapp for online image enhancement, stereo captured through a single lens, and stereo pair depth enhancement for ultra-real 3D. Those parties interested in technology partnering and licensing opportunities should contact Russ Albright, DarbeeVision CEO, Russ@DarbeeVision.com.

Why Use DarbeeVision?

One of the reasons that we experience visual depth is because our two eyes are horizontally displaced. Our brains interpret a strong sense of depth from the binocular disparity that we get by looking at the world from two different viewpoints, but when we look at a 2D image, we only get one viewpoint. DarbeeVision has discovered a way to create 2D images that nevertheless contain compelling depth information. DVn embeds real or synthesized disparity information into 2D images as depth cues and detail enhancements. One major feature of DarbeeVision technology is its very powerful, accurate, and fast saliency mask, which only adds depth information into the scene where our eyes would normally look. The overall result is a consistently stunning output image at any resolution. Put simply, DVn images are more real because they contain organic 3D depth information.

DarbeeVision 2.5D Enhancement Explained

DVnPhoto 1.1 will give the world a basic understanding of the benefits that can be realized when using DVn technology for computational image enhancement. Paul Darbee discovered that you get convincing image enhancements when you 'smuggle' binocular depth information into 2D images. The program uses a simple, elegant and yet powerful variation of the common unsharp mask, where the procedure is to defocus and subtract one image of a stereo pair from the other, rather than defocusing and subtracting an image from itself. The new, simple, and unexpected result gives you a '2.5D' image that possesses a unique level of perceived dimensionality. Darbee then discovered a way to get the same great results by synthesizing stereo information from a single starting image. The resulting DVn technology has been awarded a patent and is now available in the DVnPhoto 1.1 software.

DarbeeVision History

DVn software technology was introduced to the world in 2002 with extensive testing in commercial visual media. The legendary Academy Award-winning director Robert Altman used DVn for several of his motion pictures - Gosford Park (DVD), The Company (theatrical release and DVD), and Signs (DVD). Robert Altman stated that viewing DarbeeVision "was like putting on a new pair of glasses" with the dramatic difference in clarity that is only realized through the Darbonization process!

Over the past several years, extensive upgrades have been made to the software and a basic patent was issued in 2006. DVn now has patent priority for a wide range of applications that use monoscopic or multiplet source frames for combining images, when one uses blurring or defocusing for luminance modulation during image-stacking processing. DarbeeVision executives are currently exploring all possibilities for commercial applications, including solutions in moving aperture, multi-aperture, optical lensing, virtual lensing, and chip and software post-processing.
