That patent was filed in 2009, and appears to be a copy of a 2007 paper http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.570... with no novel contributions, and no overlap in authorship.

Perhaps the Kodak patent covers a hardware-implementation for their cameras?

_Eastman_ Kodak manufactures and distributes cinema film. The camera division is the _other_ Kodak.
The algorithm is not based on this patent. I made a reference on the github page to the original paper the project is based on.
