摘要： A method for electronically magnifying a target object with an imaging device. The method includes obtaining a full view image of the target object, where the full view image is focused. The method further includes moving the imaging device in proximity to a portion of the target object and obtaining a key image of the portion of the target object. The method further includes matching the key image to a corresponding portion of the full view image. The method further includes magnifying the corresponding portion of the full view image and displaying the magnified portion of the full view image.

摘要： A method and process provides a selection process designed to select optimized results from a plurality of possible results represented in a search tree. A tree search is employed, wherein bounds are used to prune at least one node or branch of the search tree. A non-overlapping support constraint in conjunction with the tree search is invoked to further prune the search tree. An optimized search tree is stored into a memory, following the invoking of the non-support constraint, and the optimized search tree is employed in additional processing operations.

摘要： A graphical input and display system having a user interface for selecting object(s) to be operated on by the system includes input devices permitting a user to select and establish image object(s) received from various image input sources. A processor, connected to the system, receives requests for various image element selection operations and also accesses a memory structure. The system memory structure includes a user interaction module, which allows a user to select image elements without pre-selecting an element selection mode, as well as data memory.

摘要： The Pendulum Whiteboard Printer is a fully-automatic robotic device for marking or otherwise effecting whiteboards, pinboards, or other vertical surfaces. The physical device consists of an effector platform suspended by two suspension wires whose lengths are adjusted by motorized spindles mounted above and on either side of the board surface. The position of the effector platform is adjusted by winding and unwinding the wires. Methods are provided for using the Pendulum Whiteboard Printer to perform various actions and for moving the effector platform to a desired location.

摘要： A method of recognizing the effects of coarse pixel quantization on text represented via raster signals to enable automatic selection between fax and normal modes of optical character recognition. A processor executes instructions stored in a memory to trace the contours of connected components included within a sample image and to count the number of runs one, two, and three pixels in length along the contour. If the sample image includes few runs two pixels in lengths along the contours of its connected components as compared to the number of runs one and three pixels in length, then the sample image has undergone coarse pixel quantization and the processor selects fax mode optical character recognition.

摘要： An unsupervised method of learning the relationships between words and unspecified topics in documents using a computer is described. The computer represents the relationships between words and unspecified topics via word clusters and association strength values, which can be used later during topical characterization of documents. The computer learns the relationships between words and unspecified topics in an iterative fashion from a set of learning documents. The computer preprocesses the training documents by generating an observed feature vector for each document of the set of training documents and by setting association strengths to initial values. The computer then determines how well the current association strength values predict the topical content of all of the learning documents by generating a cost for each document and summing the individual costs together to generate a total cost. If the total cost is excessive, the association strength values are modified and the total cost recalculated. The computer continues calculating total cost and modifying association strength values until a set of association strength values are discovered that adequately predict the topical content of the entire set of learning documents.

摘要： A device for registering component image tiles in a scanning system for transcribing, into electronic form, markings on a two-dimensional surface such as a whiteboard. A registration light pattern is projected onto the surface to be imaged. The pattern projected can be chosen to best suite the specific properties of the camera and imaging environment. The pattern markings are processed using perspective transformations to determine the overlap properties of the image tiles and distortion of each tile image, and the resulting data is used to combine the tiles to produce an undistorted composite image of the whiteboard.

摘要： A device for transcribing, into electronic form, markings drawn on a whiteboard or blackboard. An electronic camera such as an ordinary video camera is mounted on a computer-controlled pan/tilt head in the ceiling or to the side of the board. Images are captured by directing the camera successively at small regions of the board, then processing these snapshots electronically, leading to a complete, undistorted, high-resolution image of the entire board.
