Yissum, the tech transfer subsidiary of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has signed a nonexclusive worldwide licensing agreement with Adobe Systems to develop and commercialize a technology for improved digital image processing. The technology, known as Edge Avoiding Wavelets, apparently enables superior and faster detail enhancement and preserves edges when sharpening digital images.
The Edge Avoiding Wavelets technology, invented by Dr Raanan Fattal, accelerates various computational photography applications by a factor of more than one order of magnitude, according to Yissum.
NOTE: This isn’t one of my cases, so don’t know the details. I’ve done a fair bit of patent drafting for image analysis software. Its tricky and challenging, but fun when one get’s it right.
