Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for a system for creating a data collection of recognized images. The system includes an image analysis module that is configured to programmatically analyze individual images in a collection of images in order to determine information about each image in the collection. The system may also include a manual interface that is configured to (i) interface with one or more human editors, and (ii) displays a plurality of panels concurrently. Individual panels may be provided for one or more analyzed images, and individual panels may be configured to display information that is at least indicative of the one or more images of that panel and/or of the information determined from the one or more images. Additionally, the manual interface enables the one or more human editors to view the plurality of panels concurrently and to interact with each of the plurality of panels in order to correct or remove any information that is incorrectly determined from the image of that panel.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for estimating device availability in a pervasive peer to peer environment is presented. The method and apparatus include a linear estimation approach and a bin estimation approach, where the bin estimation approach may include enhanced bin estimation or adaptive bin estimation. A central node queries available contacted devices and builds a history of times and availability indications for the contacted device, and subsequently computes an availability probability curve based on assumptions regarding the availability indications and the time since the last received availability indication.

Abstract: Methods, machines, systems and machine-readable instructions for albuming graphic elements are described. In one aspect, candidate relative layouts of graphic elements on a page are identified. Each of the candidate relative layouts describes a respective set of layout relationships among the graphic elements. A respective set of constraints describing the corresponding set of layout relationships among the graphic elements is generated for each of the candidate relative layouts. A respective determinate layout of the graphic elements on the page is determined from each set of constraints. One of the determinate layouts is selected as a final layout of the graphic elements on the page.

Abstract: In a method for automatically adjusting a document layout including an object containing text, an approximate linear model for the object containing text is created. In addition, a layout quality function is optimized based upon at least one constraint and the approximate linear model for the object is solved based upon the optimized layout quality function. Moreover, the document layout is automatically adjusted based substantially upon the solution to the approximate linear model for the object.

Abstract: In a method for establishing a height-width estimation model for a text block, a discrete form of a relationship between the height and the width of the text block is calculated. In addition, at least one coefficient in a polynomial function depicting the relationship between the height and the width is calculated based upon the calculated discrete form and the model is established based upon the calculated at least one coefficient. The model provides a closed form function for estimation of the text block heights associated with one or more widths.

Abstract: A method for determining a logical structure of a document. At least one candidate table of contents page of the document is determined, wherein the table of contents page comprises a plurality of table of contents words. The document comprises at least one table of contents page and a plurality of body pages, wherein at least one body page comprises a plurality of body words. A dictionary is built for the candidate table of contents page, the dictionary comprising at least one table of contents word. One body page is analyzed for at least one text match between the plurality of body words and the table of contents words of the dictionary. Based on an evaluation the text match, it is determined whether the body page is a title page.

Abstract: Embodiments enable searching of portions of objects in images, including programmatically analyzing each image in a collection in order to determine image data that, for individual images in the collection, represents one or more visual characteristics of a portion of an object shown in that image. A user is enabled to specify one or more search criteria that includes image data, and a search result may be determined based on one or more images in the collection that show a corresponding object that has a portion that satisfies a threshold. The threshold is defined at least in part by the one or more search criteria.
