摘要:
A digital image processing determining the extent of blocking and contouring artifacts in a digital image includes the steps of: determining the extent of blocking artifacts using the column and row difference arrays; determining the extent of contouring artifacts based on an estimated DC quantization step size; and, determining a composite artifact measure as a function of the extent of blocking artifacts and extent of contouring artifacts. A digital image processing method determining the extent of contouring artifacts in the digital image includes the steps of: forming a column difference image; averaging the values in the columns in the column difference image to produce a column difference array; computing the average of the values in the column difference array that are separated by one block width to produce a block averaged column difference array; locating the peak value in the block averaged column difference array; repeating the above mentioned steps in the row direction; locating block boundaries based on the locations of peak values of column and row difference arrays; calculating DC value for each block; generating a histogram of the block DC values; calculating the Fourier transform of the histogram; locating the first non-DC peak in the Fourier transform domain; calculating a DC quantization step size based on the frequency of the first non-DC peak; and, employing the DC quantization step size as a measure of the extent of the contouring artifacts in the digital image.

A system and a method are disclosed for enabling fast switching in a multimedia interface system having content protection. By using a partial port receiver to decode a portion of the input at input ports that are not being output to a multimedia sink, the design of the switching system is simplified and silicon costs are reduced. Additionally, the switching system and method reduces the switching delay by maintaining content protection signaling with all of the input ports. This eliminates the need for re-authentication when a new multimedia source is selected.

An interior surface panel such as a ceiling tile is free of PVC materials and otherwise possesses desirable properties that make it suitable for installation in a variety of environments including schools, household and commercial kitchens and healthcare facilities. The panel can include a base mat and a facing material of a polyolefin or polyester polymer or copolymer bonded to the base mat. The facing material is resistant to ultraviolet light and possesses superior scrubbability. The PVC-free facing has a preferred thickness, opacity and surface roughness and a texture pattern that is non-directional and discontinuous. In an embodiment in which the PVC-free facing is white, it has a preferred light reflectance. The PVC-free facing is resistant to deformation under tension. In addition, the facing has low anisotropy; that is, the facing exhibits minimal differences in its physical properties in different directions. The facing also has good dimensional stability.

Described is a data-centric web search engine technology/architecture, in which document metadata, including offline-extracted metadata, is used as part of a search indexing and ranking pipeline. A web data management component receives crawled documents and extracts document metadata from the documents. An indexing component uses the document metadata to build an index for the documents. A serving component uses the index and the document metadata to serve content, e.g., search results. Also described is the use of query metadata extracted from queries of a query log for use in the pipeline.
摘要:
A method and system for reading data from a link buffer for output to a display device. A link buffer read period is determined which balances a write throughput over a source video frame time and a read throughput over a display frame time. A threshold is determined indicating a required number of pixels stored in a link buffer prior to starting to read data out of the link buffer for a next line display. A read signal is issued when the link buffer read period ends and the threshold is reached.

A method and system for determining relevance of a document having text and images to a text string is provided. A scoring system identifies image text associated with an image of the document. The scoring system calculates an image score indicating relevance of the image text to the text string. The image score may be used in many applications, such as searching, summary generation, and document classification, image search, and image classification.

摘要:
Techniques pertaining to a circuit architecture capable of controlling a current source to a predefined precision are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, an automatic trimming circuit is proposed to automatically trim a current generated from a current generator or circuit in accordance with a reference current. The automatic trimming circuit includes a comparator, an ADC and a register. The comparator that may be implemented as a subtractor finds a difference between a generated current and a reference current. The difference is then digitized to an n-bit precision. A digital representation of the difference is then kept in a register and used subsequently correct or modify the generated current to produce a precisely controlled current.
