摘要： A data compression system can operate in a number of different configurations, and wherein the bit rate produced by a given configuration can be controlled over some finite range by a control signal from a rate controller for smoothly transitioning between the configurations so that discontinuous jumps in bit rate and distortion are minimized is provided by determining thresholds on the feedback control signals, the thresholds being used to determine when to switch in or out of each configuration; the thresholds furthermore being determined from the intersection points of the rate distortion curves for the available configurations.

摘要： Both an XML schema and XML instance data as correspond to an XML document are provided (301). The XML schema is processed (302) apart from the XML instance data to provide resultant compressed XML schema data while the XML instance data is processed (303) to provide a corresponding XML instance table. The latter is compressed (304) to yield a resultant compressed XML instance table. Following receipt of such items, the compressed XML instance table is decompressed (403) to provide a resultant XML instance table with the latter being used (404), along with the XML schema, to facilitate a corresponding XML document process.

摘要： A transaction card is described in which data representing an identifiable image can be stored in a limited amount of storage space. The image to be stored is converted to an associated matrix of pixel values. The matrix of pixel values is partitioned into a plurality of ordered image portions corresponding to a like partitioning of the image. The partitioning is generally related to feature locations in the image. Each image portion is compared with a reference set of image portions represented by pixel groups. Associated with each pixel group is a signal group. For each image portion, a signal group is chosen for the associated reference pixel group that most closely matches with the pixel image portion. The signal groups representing the matrix of pixel values or the image to be stored are stored as bit patterns on the storage space of a transaction card. The bit patterns may then be read and converted to the signal groups. From the signal groups, a reference pixel group is identified from within a reference set and the reference pixel group is positioned with respect to the image at the same location as the image portion. Using this technique, a recognizable image can be constructed from image information compatible with the ISO-7811/2 standards.

摘要： An object detection algorithm that generates a two-layer Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) during a training session, and subsequent to the training session, uses the two-layer GMM to perform face detection. No labeling of local features is needed. The only input that is provided by a user is the setting of a few global parameters for the image being captured during the training session, such as, for example, the person's facial pose.

摘要： A block adaptive differential pulse code modulation (DPCM) system includes both a lossless DPCM processor responsive to blocks of pixel values for producing encoder command signals and a lossy DPCM compressor responsive to blocks of pixel values for producing encoder command signals. An encoder receives the encoder command signals from the lossless DPCM processor and lossy DPCM compressor and produces a compressed encoded bit stream. A switch responsive to a compression configuration signal and to the encoder command signals from the lossy compressor selectively passes the encoder command signals from the lossless processor or the lossy compressor to the encoder.

摘要： A method of encoding and decoding a transaction card with a block of image data digitally representing the features of a digital portrait of an authorized transaction card user is disclosed along with apparatus for performing the method. The encoding method partitions the digital portrait of the transaction card user into feature blocks. Each feature block is compared against a library of like feature blocks to determine the best match with a pair of library feature blocks. The library's feature blocks are derived from a plurality of portraits taken from the general population. Each library feature block is represented (addressed for access) by a code-vector in a codebook. The two code-vectors corresponding to the two closest matching features blocks from the library of like feature blocks are recorded onto a transaction card along with an interstitial pointer which indicates a weight to be allocated to each of the two code-vectors to form a better match for at least one of the library feature blocks to the user's feature blocks. All of the code-vectors and the interstitial pointers corresponding to the user's feature blocks are recorded as a sequence of sub-data blocks within an image data block on the transaction card. A method and associated apparatus for reading out the image data block and recreating a representation of the portrait of the transaction card user at a financial transaction site for identification purposes are also disclosed.

摘要： An improved method for removing blocking artifacts in regions of slowly varying intensity in an electronic image decoded from a transform coded representation of an image, includes the steps of: receiving signals indicative of DC and AC coefficient values of transformed blocks of image data; modifying the DC value in each of the blocks based on the level of activity within the block and the DC values in neighboring blocks; performing AC prediction in each block using the modified DC values; replacing the AC values in each block with the AC predicted values based on the level of activity within the block and the modified DC values in neighboring blocks; and reconstructing the image using the modified DC and AC coefficient values.
