    摘要: Systems and methods for embedding data into and/or extracting data from a digital signal, such as an image, are disclosed. Embodiments described herein utilize a set of detectable small-scale structures, or tokens, together with a large-scale layout, or modulation frames, with embedding sites for the tokens to embed the data. Embodiments for extracting the embedded data use position constraints of the modulation frames to assist in identifying the embedded tokens.

    摘要: An image created by a first projector is recreated using a second projector by relating the two projectors to a common point of view, preferably as viewed from a camera. A first transport matrix T1 is captured to relate the first projector to the camera. A second transport matrix T2 is then capture to relate the second projector to the camera. To have a first image p1, as projected by the first projector, reproduced by the second projector, the second projector projects a distorted image defined as (T2−1)(T1)p1. The inverse of T2, as used in this equation is an estimation defined by first creating an intermediate matrix {hacek over (T)} of equal size as T2. If a column in T2 is denoted as Tr and a corresponding column in {hacek over (T)} is denoted as {hacek over (T)}r, then the construction and population of {hacek over (T)} is defined as {hacek over (T)}r=Tr/(∥Tr∥)2, and the inverse of T2 is estimated as the transpose of {hacek over (T)}.

    摘要: Application of dual photography is simplified by reducing the number of captured images needed to generate a light transport matrix T of (p×q) projection pixel array from (p×q) images to (p+q) images. Manipulation of the light transport matrix is also simplified by replacing the use of a matrix T with an index associating each projection pixel to only non-zero light transport values. By eliminating the use of zero-valued light transport coefficients, the memory and processing requirements for implementing dual photography are greatly reduced. This dual photography technique is applied to the calibration of projector-camera systems. A second method for calibrating projector-camera systems uses a known projection test pattern and a calibrated camera to associate projected markers on a real image to a captured image. Since the real location of the projected markers are determined by the camera, and the relative location of the markers on the test pattern is also known, the projector may be calibrated using homography techniques.

    摘要: Techniques for recovering an original image from its halftone version using information obtained from the dither matrix used to generate the halftone. The techniques involve determining a bounding region defined by (xmin, xmax) for each pixel location and color value, based on the information obtained from the dither matrix, and applying a low-pass filter to the halftone version as follows. For each pixel color, the post-low-pass-filtered value of that color is used, if the filtered value is greater than or equal to xmin and less than or equal to xmax, the xmin value is used, if the filtered value is less than xmin and the xmax value is used, if the filtered value is greater than xmax. Next, it is determined, for each pixel, whether its value for that color is to be used in an averaging process based on the distance between the bounding region of that pixel and neighborhood pixels' bounding regions.

    摘要: A photocopier (10) scans a document and so modifies the resultant image as to embed in a resultant copy information that is visually imperceptible. To do so, it identifies regions (32, 33) that consist primarily of text-character parts. It embeds a message bitstream by selectively darkening the text pixels in such regions in accordance with the values of successive bits in the bitstream.

    摘要: A scanner (12) of a photocopier system scans a document and generates output image signals that an image-processing circuit (14) processes in such a manner as to enhance text-region legibility, and a laser printer (16) generates the output copy in accordance with the resultant image. The image-processing circuitry (14) identifies dark, low-saturation pixels in the input image whose gradients are low but that border high-gradient pixels, and it sets these pixels to the blackest values, thus emphasizing text edges. With the remaining pixels, it reduces bright-region contrast, and this tends to suppress the visibility of text that has “bled through” from the document's reverse side or from documents disposed behind it.
