摘要:
In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a method for embedding key information into a printed document is disclosed. The method comprises creating a first section comprising a first ink having a first color under white light; and creating a second section comprising a second different ink. The second ink comprises a fluorescent ink and has a second color under white light which is substantially the same as the first color, and the fluorescent ink has a fluorescence when subjected to fluorescent-exciting radiation. The first section and the second section are visually indiscernible from each other on the printed document in white light. Also, the second section comprises key information, which is selected or highlighted by a user during creation of the document, and the first section comprises non-selected information.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for implementing a user interface module for use in screening a receptacle to detect therein the presence of one or more prohibited objects is provided. An image signal associated with the receptacle conveying information related to the receptacle's contents and a detection signal conveying a presence of at least one prohibited object in the receptacle are received. A user interface module is adapted for displaying first information conveying an image associated with the receptacle on the basis of the image signal. The user interface module is also adapted for displaying, simultaneously with the first information, second information conveying the presence of the prohibited object in the receptacle. The second information is derived at least in part on the basis of the detection signal. As a variant, the user interface module is adapted for providing a control allowing a user to cause third information to be displayed. The third information conveys at least one characteristic associated to the prohibited object. Alternative implementations of the user interface module may be made for use in screening a person to detect thereon the presence of one or more prohibited objects.
摘要:
A self-organizing pattern learning system comprises an optical pattern correlation degree detecting means, which comprises a pattern storing means for storing a plurality of patterns, an input pattern displaying means for displaying a presented input pattern, and a photo detecting means. All or two of the input pattern displaying means, the pattern storing means, and the photo detecting means are located at positions adjacent to each other. The photo detecting means optically detects a degree of pattern correlation between the input pattern displayed on the input pattern displaying means and each of memory patterns stored in the pattern storing means. A learning pattern creating means creates a group of learning patterns in accordance with the degrees of pattern correlation, which have been detected by the optical pattern correlation degree detecting means, and the input pattern. A memory pattern updating means updates the memory patterns, which are stored in the pattern storing means, in accordance with the learning patterns, which have been created by the learning pattern creating means.

1. An optical method of recognition and classification of patterns or image, on real time basis, comprising
(a) measuring necessary times a respective output of correlation betwveen each of reference patterns and a specific pattern to be tested which is to belong to a specific class ; (b) calculating a representative value for each set of the correlation output, from the set of the measured data of the correlation outputs, in regard to said each of reference patterns and said specific pattern, and a respective parameter to represent the degree of the deviation of the measured data of said correlation outputs belonging to said each set of correlation outputs ; (c) making a respective membership function corresponding to each of said reference patterns for each of the specific classes to which the specific pattern should be classified or belong, on the basis of said respective representative value and said
respective parameter ;
(d) estimating a respective membership value to each of the respective membership function, assigned to each of the specific classes to which the pattern should be classified or belong, on the basis of the respective output of correlation between the pattern to be tested and said each of reference patterns ; (e) selecting the smallest membership value among the resulting membership values ; or estimating an average of all said resulting membership values ; (f) using the resulting smallest membership value or the resulting average as a degree to judge how much said pattern to be tested belongs to each of the specific classes.
摘要:
A pattern recognition system is described which produces from any object (16) a diffraction pattern -typically an optical Fourier transform of the object, on a high resolution detector (10). Different points in the detector can be addressed by a scanning device (28) to produce an electrical signal which can be digitised if required before being processed and compared with reference signals in a processor 32. A reduction in the information to be scanned and pattern matched is obtained by using an optical Fourier transform or the like of the original object. A further reduction in the information needed to classify each of a known group of objects is obtained by a method which involves (1) the presentation of each of the group members to the apparatus , (2) the computation from each scanning of a discriminant function by multivariate analysis of the signals produced by the scanning and (3) the use of the disciminant function to determine the points in the scanning of subsequent unknown members of the group which are required (and the weighting to be attributed to the signal at each such point) to allow for the reliable classification of each such unknown member of the group.
