摘要： In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a method for processing a digitally captured image that comprises an imaged document. The method comprises: detecting graphical information related to spatial discontinuities of the digitally captured image; detecting lines from the detected graphical information; computing effective area parameters for quadrilaterals associated with ones of the detected lines, wherein each effective area parameter for a respective quadrilateral equals an area of the respective quadrilateral modified by at least a corner matching score that is indicative of a number of connected edge pixels in corners of the respective quadrilateral; and selecting a quadrilateral of the quadrilaterals that possesses a largest effective area parameter.

摘要： Systems and methods of extracting from an input image a graphical bar code containing graphically encoded information are described. In one aspect, a document template is matched to the input image. The document template is selected from a set of document templates each having a respective predetermined page layout corresponding to a respective document type and including a predetermined graphical bar code location. The input image is cropped based on information relating to the graphical bar code location in the page layout of the document template matched to the input image to produce a cropped graphical bar code candidate for decoding.

摘要： Methods, machines, and computer-readable media storing machine-readable instructions for segmenting pixels in an image are described. In one aspect, a region of background pixels is identified in the image. At least some of the background pixels in the region are located on a boundary spatially delimiting the region. One or more orientation-dependent adaptive thresholds are determined for one or more respective candidate growth directions from a given background pixel located on the region boundary. Color distances between the given background pixel and candidate pixels in a neighborhood of the given background pixel are determined. The region is grown based on application of the one or more orientation-dependent adaptive thresholds to the determined color distances.

摘要： Systems and methods according to the present invention provide techniques to automatically insert an object from one image into a region of another image. The systems and methods require little or no user interaction to allow efficient re-use and updating of existing images, presentations, documents and the like. An object and a container region are identified. Feasible placement location(s) within the container region for the object, as well as an associated scale factor, are determined. If multiple feasible placement locations are identified for a particular scale factor, then one is selected based upon predetermined criteria. The object can then be inserted into the container region and the resulting composite image stored or, alternatively, parameters can be stored which enable object insertion at a subsequent processing step.

摘要： A method analyzes an image to be scanned and analyzes at least part of the image pixel-by-pixel. During or after a preview scan, a characteristic is assigned to a plurality of pixels in the image and pixels are grouped according to similar characteristics. A representation of a least one of the characteristics corresponding to a group of pixels is communicated to the scanner. For example, the pixels may be analyzed to determining if the pixel is black or white. The pixels may also be analyzed to determining if a pixel is on an edge between black and white. Black pixels that are adjacent each other can be grouped together, and white pixels that are adjacent each other can also be grouped together. A region of an image with a relatively high number of black and white groups can be characterized as black and white text only. That characterization can then be used to properly set a scanner, for example, without user intervention, so that the final scan of the image can be done at 300 dpi with a low bit depth.

摘要： A method for producing web page content includes identifying blocks within a web page. The blocks are selectively assembled into sections. The sections are selectively assembled into article candidates. An article candidate that includes article content is distinguished from article candidates that do not include article content. Content is produced only from the article candidate distinguished as including article content.

摘要： A method and system for extracting Web content is disclosed. In one embodiment, Web content in a Webpage is extracted by identifying paragraphs in the Web content based on line-break node determination. A range of text-body associated with the identified paragraphs is then identified using a maximum scoring subsequence. Further, the identified text-body is refined using a heuristic rule of substantially horizontal alignment. Furthermore, one or more titles and one or more images associated with the Web content are extracted. Moreover, the Web content including the identified paragraphs, the one or more titles and the one or more images are outputted.
