Philips Flat TV
It provides two features that adapt to the context:
(1) Each pixel of the incoming picture is enhanced to better match the surrounding pixels, resulting in a more natural picture. Artefacts in compressed multimedia content are detected and reduced, ensuring that the picture is clean and razor sharp. Digital noise reduction ensures that the picture is perfectly smooth yet razor sharp.
(2)By providing ambient light to complement the colors and light intensity of the onscreen image, it adds a new dimension to the viewing experience, completely immersing users into the content they are watching.

Color Hamonization (SIGGRAPH 2006)
Harmonic colors are sets of colors that are aesthetically pleasing in terms of human visual perception. In this paper,a method that enhances the harmony among the colors of a given photograph or of a general image was presented, while remaining faithful, as much as possible, to the original colors. It then allows a graceful shifting of hue values so as to fit the harmonic scheme while considering spatial coherence among colors of neighboring pixels using an optimization technique.

Fast Multiresolution Image Querying (SIGGRAPH 1995)
Searching in an image database using aquery image that is similar to the intended target. The query imagemay be a hand-drawn sketch or a (potentially low-quality) scan of the image to be retrieved. The searching algorithm makes use of multiresolution wavelet decompositions of the query and databaseimages. The coefficients of these decompositions are distilled intosmall "signatures" for each image. This metric essentiallycompares how many significant wavelet coefficients the query has incommon with potential targets.
