    摘要: Systems and methods that determine a path of a pen tip as the pen tip is moved across a document are described. The document is watermarked with a maze pattern from which encoded position information is determined. A sequence of images is captured by a camera that is located in a pen. The path of the pen tip is determined by decoding the associated maze pattern and by matching the captured images with document images. If the position coordinates of any frame that is associated with a stroke cannot be determined from m-array decoding, the frames are transformed and then matched with an area of a document image. Once the position coordinates of at least one frame is determined, the position coordinates of other frames are determined by matching the frames in a neighboring area.

    摘要: A method and system for decoding data on a medium that is captured by an input device is described. The method decodes a symbol design, such as an embedded interaction code (EIC), on a display screen, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD). An image that is captured by an input device, such as a universal pen-type input device with a camera, is received. The captured image is processed to output an extracted bit stream. Position data and/or metadata information is decoded from the extracted bit stream and a position of the captured image with respect to a screen of the LCD is determined based upon the decoded position data. The EIC pattern may be recognized from LCD pixel grids and a bit stream of EIC bits may be extracted based upon the recognized EIC pattern.

    摘要: Pre-processing techniques for processing an image to improve the distinctiveness of an information pattern captured in the image before the information pattern is analyzed in a decoding process. The brightness of an image first is normalized by dividing the image into blocks of areas, such as pixels. A brightness distribution value then is determined for each area of the image by fitting the brightness of its surrounding blocks using bilinear interpolation and extrapolation, and a normalized brightness value for each area can then be obtained by dividing the original brightness value by the brightness distribution value. Next, masks are created to distinguish the information pattern from content captured in the image. The masks may be generated based upon contrast differences between the brightness of pixels representing the information pattern, the brightness of pixels representing content, and the brightness of pixels representing the background of the writing medium.

    摘要: Methods and apparatuses that synchronize a paper document to an associated digital document by establishing a mapping. An embedded interactive code (EIC) Document is created as a digital file that serves as an intermediate tier between the paper document and the digital document. Both the paper document and the EIC document are generated while printing the paper document. The EIC document records the corresponding EIC array allocations and a unique document identification number. An image capturing pen may generate a stroke on any page of paper document. With the EIC document, the methods and apparatuses inform an application the page and location on the page of the stroke.

    摘要: Disclosed embodiments of the invention relate to analyzing document images, which contain positionally encoded information, such as a maze-pattern watermark, and labeling the images based on a degree to which the document's content, such as text, occludes the position-encoding information. Depending on the degree of such occlusion, it may not be possible to extract enough position-encoding bits from a camera-captured image of the document to determine the camera-captured image's location within the document. An analysis-and-labeling module receives, as input, image data output by an image-generation-and-capturing module and off-line training data; performs analysis-and-labeling processing; and outputs image-label information. The results of document-analysis-and-labeling processing may be used for efficiently determining a location of a camera-captured image within a positionally encoded document.

    摘要: An efficient technique is provided for determining a portion of a document corresponding to a captured image. Areas of a document in which the pattern is at least partially obscured are identified. A reference pixel in the image is selected, and an offset between the pixel and the pattern is determined. A pixel-by-pixel comparison is then made of the image with the document such that the reference pixel is only compared with locations in the document that are both within the identified areas and have the determined offset from the pattern. The comparison with the highest correspondence between the image pixels and the electronic document then identifies the position of the reference pixel relative to the electronic document.
