Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) researchers have developed Light Invariant Video Imaging (LIVI) software technology that will significantly improve picture clarity in sub-optimal lighting and enhance object recognition. The new software will enhance many smart camera applications, including facial recognition for security and augmented reality.
LIVI increases camera functionality eliminating the effects of background or dynamic lighting conditions, thereby delivering shadow-free images with constant colour output and improved contrast. The software relies on amplitude-modulated (AM) light separation, similar, in principle, to AM radio communication.
