Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of ameliorating the effects of misalignment between modulator arrays, and a system using the same. The ability reduce the effects of misalignment allows multiple, smaller, more cost effective arrays to be used instead of one large array. This can reduce the manufacturing costs of the array, especially arrays that are produced using semiconductor manufacturing processes such as the digital micromirror device. To avoid visual artifacts caused by the misalignment of two or more modulator arrays 1702, 1704, the individual arrays 1702, 1704 are optically overlapped and a portion of the image 1706 is generated by both arrays 1702, 1704. A breakpoint is chosen between two pixels in the overlapped region 1706 at which to abut the images from each of the modulator arrays 1702, 1704. The breakpoint is changed each row of pixels to minimize the detectability of any visual artifact caused by misalignment between the modulator arrays 1702, 1704.
Abstract:
A method for defect-correction printing. A spatial light modulator that is used to generate the image is mapped for defects. The ON defects are compensated by setting a background level that is equal to the cumulative exposure of the ON defects, and then this background level becomes the threshold for development by the electrophotographic process. The system compensates for OFF defects by allocating the bits and exposures necessary to approximate the OFF defects to operative elements, thereby keeping the cumulative exposure for that pixel in the final printed image exactly, or as closely as possible, equal to the desired exposure. The corrections are contained in a defect correction module (10) that generates the appropriate patterns with the correct allocations to minimize error.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to a system for crime risk forecasting using cyber security and deep learning comprises a data input unit for receiving a pre-stored crime event dataset and real time crime event data input along with geographical details of an area; a classification processing unit for categorizing pre-stored crime event dataset and real time crime event data input according to crime type; a graphical user interface for entering a target geographic area for forecasting upcoming crime risk; a central processing unit for generating a crime risk forecast based on the historical crime incident stored in the pre-stored crime event dataset using a deep leaning technique; and a control unit coupled to a display for displaying a crime risk ranking generated based on the crime risk forecast and one or more crime risk event for the target geographic area.
Abstract:
A method for testing a computer application includes identifying components of a version of the application, said components including one or more components that are one of new and modified, generating a keyword matrix of the identified application components. A search is performed in a test script repository with respect to components listed as at least one of the first and second dimensions of the matrix. The keyword matrix is populated with test case identification numbers in the search result. Based on the populated keyword matrix, one or more of (a) gaps in test case coverage for the version of the application, and (b) one or more test cases covering the version of the application are identified.
Abstract:
Object detection includes providing an image and determining at least one feature point. The at least one feature point defines a location of an image patch used for determining a feature descriptor, and the image patch defines an image area of the image. The feature descriptor is generated based on respective image intensities of a number of respective pairs of pixels with two dimensional coordinates located inside the image patch. An n-th component of the feature descriptor for an n-th pair of pixels is derived. A threshold is set depending on the number. The feature descriptor is generated by an arrangement of the M components. An indication signal is generated for a detected object when the feature descriptor is within a predefined distance to a reference feature descriptor.
Abstract:
A method for viewing a collection of images or videos, includes analyzing the collection to determine properties of the images or videos and using the determined properties to produce icons corresponding to such properties; providing a time-varying display of the images or videos in the collection following an ordering of the images or videos in the collection and at least one of the corresponding icons; receiving a user selection of an icon; and changing the display of the images or videos in the collection following a reordering of the images or videos in the collection in response to the user selection.
Abstract:
