An optical proximity correction method is provided using a modified merit function based upon yield. Known failure mechanisms related to layout geometries are used to derive yield functions based upon distance values between layout features, such as, edge features. In comparing the edge points on the predicted layout pattern with the corresponding point on the design layout pattern, a yield test is first undertaken before movement of the points on the predicted layout pattern to a position of higher yield. Where yield is acceptable, no further movement is made. Where incremental movement of points results in coming within acceptable proximity before acceptable yield is reached, the point is flagged for further consideration.

A system (10) is disclosed for use in detecting and analyzing cell and tissue microstructure as part of the diagnosis of a variety of pathological conditions, including cataracts, as well as aging, disease and certain traumatic events. The system includes a data input system (12), which may produce data regarding the microstructure to be evaluated either invasively or noninvasively. An electron microscope (20) may be employed to collect data regarding the microstructure of any tissue to be evaluated for the existence of a pathological condition. The system (12) also includes a computer (14) programmed to analyze the output of the data collection system by using signal processing techniques that are applicable to the data output characterizing the nonrandom microstructure. These techniques include fractal analysis, oscillatory analysis, and a modified Fourier/fractal analysis. The outcome of the signal processing is then compared to empirical data to effect a diagnosis.

The present invention is directed to a neural network-based system for detecting the presence of a vehicle within a traffic scene. The vehicle detection system comprises an apparatus for producing an image signal representative of an image of the traffic scene and a trainable neural network for identifying the presence of a vehicle within the traffic scene. The present invention is also directed to a method for detecting the presence of a vehicle within a traffic scene. The vehicle detection method includes the steps of producing an image signal representative of an image of the traffic scene, collecting a training set of these image signals, training a neural network from this training set of image signals to correctly identify the presence of a vehicle within the traffic scene and performing surveillance of the traffic scene with the trained neural network to detect the presence of a vehicle.

Described are a method and apparatus for the optical testing of samples in which a camera records a plurality of images of an interferogram or a bar pattern. Phase values are determined for each image point of each camera record, and then differences between the phase values of adjacent points in each image line and column are computed in modulo 2.pi.. These differences for each image point are summed over the plurality of camera images. After a number of images sufficient to assure desired accuracy have been summed, a single discontinuity elimination is carried out. This permits the rapid averaging of measurements over the plurality of camera images in real video time and remarkably reduces the measuring time and statistical errors.

A method for adjusting the weight of a character of an outline font to produce an adjusted character, the character and adjusted character being described by collections of control points that guide the drawing of line or curve segments, with each line or curve segment being described by two end control points and each curve segment also being described by at least one middle control point. According to the method, first and second lines are determined for each segment of the character. The first line is the line defined by the two end control points of the segment, and the second line is the line parallel to the first line and offset from the first line a predetermined distance in a predetermined direction. Next, first intersects are determined for each segment of the character. The first intersects are the intersects between the associated second line and the second lines of adjoining character segments. The first intersects are set as the end control points of the associated segment of the adjusted character. Then third and fourth lines and a second intersect are determined for each curve segment of the character. The third line is the line defined by one end control point of the character curve segment and the associated end control point of the associated adjusted character curve segment. The fourth line is the line defined by the other end control point of the character curve segment and the associated end control point of the associated adjusted character curve segment. The second intersect is the intersect between the associated third and fourth lines. Fifth and sixth lines are determined for each middle control point of each curve segment of the character. The fifth line is the line defined by the middle control point and the second intersect. The sixth line is the line that passes through the adjoining end control point of the associated curve segment of the adjusted character and that is parallel to a line defined by the character middle control point and the adjoining character end control point. Finally, an associated middle control point of the associated adjusted character is determined for each middle control point. The associated middle control point is the intersect between the associated fifth and sixth lines.

摘要:
A method of segmenting a text into words in which a dictionary search is made while using a character string in the text as a search key, and it is checked whether a word retrieved from the dictionary can be grammatically connected to another word adjacent thereto or not. Segmentation processing is carried out using only words registered in a word dictionary, processing for identifying an unknown word is carried out when the segmentation processing comes to a deadlock, and then the segmentation processing is continued for that portion of the text which follows the identified unknown word.

There is disclosed a system for detecting a difference between an image on a primary sheet and an image on a secondary sheet. A microprocessor unit determines whether corresponding ones of first and second image elements representative respectively of the images on the primary and secondary films differ in optical density from each other below a predetermined level. The two corresponding first and second image elements different above the predetermined level are emphasized in optical density difference and alternately displayed on a display screen at a short time interval, so that the dot of the display screen which alternately display these image elements is caused to flicker.
