Abstract:
A CT system for security check and a method thereof are provided. The method includes: reading inspection data of an inspected object; inserting at least one three-dimensional (3D) Fictional Threat Image (FTI) into a 3D inspection image of the inspected object, which is obtained from the inspection data; receiving a selection of at least one region in the 3D inspection image including the 3D FTI or at least one region in a two-dimensional (2D) inspection image including a 2D FTI corresponding to the 3D FTI, wherein the 2D inspection image is obtained from the 3D inspection image or is obtained from the inspection data; and providing a feedback of the 3D inspection image including at least one 3D FTI in response to the selection. With the above solution, it is convenient for a user to rapidly mark a suspected object in the CT image, and provides a feedback of whether a FTI is included.
Abstract:
Systems and processes are described below relating to evaluating a dependency graph to render three-dimensional (3D) graphics using constraints. Two virtual 3D objects are accessed in a virtual 3D space. A constraint relationship request is received, which identifies the first object as a parent and the second object as a child. The technique verifies whether the graphs of the objects are compatible for being constrained to one another. The first object is evaluated to determine its translation, rotation, and scale. The second object is similarly evaluated based on the translation, rotation, and scale of the first object. An image is rendered depicting at least a portion of the first virtual 3D object and at least a portion of the second virtual 3D object.

Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for processing a digital image, wherein analog images are converted to digital images and stored. The method for processing a digital image includes sensing a first hand-drawn sketch and storing the sensed first hand-drawn sketch as a first digital image; visualizing the stored loaded first digital image as a first virtual hand-drawn sketch; sensing a second hand-drawn sketch being additionally drawn on the visualized first virtual hand-drawn sketch; and storing the sensed second hand-drawn sketch as a second digital image, wherein the first hand-drawn sketch and the second hand-drawn sketch corresponds to a physical sketch being expressed with a liquid or solid substance hand-drawn by a user.
Abstract:
Information regarding a room, such as the shape of the room, is inferred simply and precisely. A room information inferring apparatus for inferring information regarding a room includes: an imaging unit that captures an image of a room that is to be subjected to inferring; a person detection unit that detects a person in an image captured by the imaging unit, and acquires the position of the person in the room; a presence map generation unit that generates a presence map indicating the distribution of detection points corresponding to persons detected in images captured at different times; and an inferring unit that infers information regarding the room based on the presence map. The person detection unit can detect the face, head, or upper body of the person in the image, and acquire the position of the person in the room based on the position and size of the face, head, or upper body in the image. The inferring unit can infer that a polygon circumscribed around the distribution of detection points in the presence map is the shape of the room.

Abstract:
The invention is related to a method for image processing a raster image according to an amount of image enhancement, using an image keyword. Also a predetermined set of raster images with associated keywords is used, a raster image being a digital image with pixel values. The invented method comprises the steps of determining an image property, which is a value derivable from the values of the pixels of a raster image, obtaining from the set of raster images a plus set, which comprises raster images that are associated with said image keyword and a minus set, which comprises raster images that are not associated with said image keyword, obtaining a difference value between the image property of the raster image and a reference value from the set of image properties of the images of the plus set, obtaining a significance value for the image keyword by comparing the image properties of images of the plus set with the image properties of images of the minus set, determining the amount of image enhancement in dependence of said difference value and said significance value, and processing the raster image according to the determined amount of image enhancement. In this way an image keyword is used as a second independent input, besides the input of the pixel values of the raster image, to control the image enhancement, which increases the flexibility of the dependence of the amount of automatic image enhancement on the keyword that a user selects to indicate his intention in relation to the input raster image.

Abstract:
Processes, machines, and computer-readable media are provided for expanding and simplifying a polygon or reducing and simplifying a polygon. Polygon expanding or reducing logic receives information that represents a polygon having a set of vertices. The polygon expanding or reducing logic determines another polygon having another set of vertices, such that the other polygon encompasses or is encompassed by the polygon, by determining, for each vertex of the set of vertices, a new set of vertices that are derived from the vertex and are at least a particular distance outside or inside the polygon. The vertex reducing logic determines whether an intermediate vertex is within the particular distance of a proposed segment between two other vertices of the other set of vertices, even though the intermediate vertex is not on the proposed segment, and, if so, removing the intermediate vertex from the other set of vertices.
