摘要： An improved method and apparatus for correcting for splay is provided. A document distorted by the curvature of a page of text away from a platen is converted to a digital image. The digital image is the manipulated to remove the distortion by fitting the lines of text in an unsplayed portion to a skew line, which represents the deviation of lines of text in the digital image from horizontal. Then the splay is determined for each line of text. Once the skew and the splay are determined, an inverse transformation is done to straighten the lines of text. A horizontal stretching is also applied to the text to correct for the projection angle of the original document.

摘要： The apparatus for the recognition of speech comprises an acoustic preprocessor, a visual preprocessor, and a speech classifier that operates on the acoustic and visual preprocessed data. The acoustic preprocessor comprises a log mel spectrum analyzer that produces an equal mel bandwidth log power spectrum. The visual processor detects the motion of a set of fiducial markers on the speaker's face and extracts a set of normalized distance vectors describing lip and mouth movement. The speech classifier uses a multilevel time-delay neural network operating on the preprocessed acoustic and visual data to form an output probability distribution that indicates the probability of each candidate utterance having been spoken, based on the acoustic and visual data.

摘要： Multiframe reconstruction combines a set of acquired images into a reconstructed image. Here, which images to acquire are selected based at least in part on the content of previously acquired images. In one approach, a set of at least three images of an object are acquired at different acquisition settings. For at least one of the images in the set, the acquisition setting for the image is determined based at least in part on the content of previously acquired images. Multiframe image reconstruction, preferably via a multi-focal display, is applied to the set of acquired images to synthesize a reconstructed image of the object.

摘要： A facial feature extraction method and apparatus uses the variation in light intensity (gray-scale) of a frontal view of a speaker's face. The sequence of video images are sampled and quantized into a regular array of 150.times.150 pixels that naturally form a coordinate system of scan lines and pixel position along a scan line. Left and right eye areas and a mouth are located by thresholding the pixel gray-scale and finding the centroids of the three areas. The line segment joining the eye area centroids is bisected at right angle to form an axis of symmetry. A straight line through the centroid of the mouth area that is at right angle to the axis of symmetry constitutes the mouth line. Pixels along the mouth line and the axis of symmetry in the vicinity of the mouth area form a horizontal and vertical gray-scale profile, respectively. The profiles could be used as feature vectors but it is more efficient to select peaks and valleys (maximas and minimas) of the profile that correspond to the important physiological speech features such as lower and upper lip, mouth corner, and mouth area positions and pixel values and their time derivatives as visual vector components. Time derivatives are estimated by pixel position and value changes between video image frames. A speech recognition system uses the visual feature vector in combination with a concomitant acoustic vector as inputs to a time-delay neural network.

摘要： The invention provides an improved method and apparatus for compression of palettized images. Input symbols in an M-ary alphabet are binarized based on a context model of the input data, where the binarization is selected to provide good compression by a binary encoder. The particular binarization is determined from a reindexing table which maps each input symbol to a number of binary values. The mapping is determined from the images to be compressed, and is typically transmitted with the compressed images as overhead. The mapping is a local minimum of the bitwise entropy of the binarization. With or without reindexing the input, the symbols can be converted compressed in parallel, with the bits of the input symbols buffered and reordered as necessary to ensure that bits needed for context of a bit being decoded are available before the decompressor decodes the bit being decoded. The decompressor includes a means for performing the opposite reordering such that the output of the decompressor is the same as the input to the compressor.

摘要翻译： 本发明提供了一种用于压缩调色图像的改进方法和装置。 基于输入数据的上下文模型将M字母字母中的输入符号进行二进制化，其中选择二值化以通过二进制编码器提供良好的压缩。 特定二进制化是从将每个输入符号映射到多个二进制值的重建索引表确定的。 从要压缩的图像确定映射，并且通常以压缩图像作为开销来传送映射。 映射是二值化的位熵的局部最小值。 有或没有重新索引输入，符号可以并行转换压缩，根据需要缓冲和重新排序输入符号的位，以确保在解码器解码正被解码的位之前，需要解码的位的上下文所需的位可用 。 解压缩器包括用于执行相反重新排序的装置，使得解压缩器的输出与压缩器的输入相同。
