Abstract:
The present invention provides a virtual data collection system and method that provides an image analyst with full-control of the image, including the ability to retrieve and reorganize information from an existing video database of images. The system provides for the search and retrieval of information from previously collected images, and reorganize them to meet new or revised mission objectives. The system also enables quick access of the “right” information through virtual data collection from the existing video database.
Abstract:
A passbook conveyance roller device comprises a conveyance roller and a pinch roller, which are arranged to be opposed to each other, to convey a passbook. The conveyance roller comprises an inner ring member connected to a drive shaft, a metallic outer ring member, and a rubber member fixed to, for example, an outer peripheral surface of the inner ring member and press fitted into an inner peripheral surface of the outer ring member to give elastic forces to the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring member in a plurality of positions, which are spaced circumferentially at predetermined intervals from one another and arranged in point symmetry. Both the inner ring member and the outer ring member are rotated through the elastic member when a load torque on the outer ring member is less than a set torque set by the elastic forces of the rubber member. Relative slip is generated between the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring member and the rubber member when a load torque on the outer ring member is equal to or larger than the set torque.
Abstract:
A method for encoding a frame of visual data which includes the steps of encoding an original full resolution frame, storing coded data for the encoded full resolution frame, reconstructing and storing encoded full resolution frame, downsampling the original full resolution frame to render it a reduced spatial resolution frame, encoding the reduced spatial resolution frame, storing coded data for the reduced spatial resolution frame, reconstructing and storing the reduced spatial resolution frame, upsampling and storing the reconstructed reduced spatial resolution frame, comparing a characteristic in the reconstructed full resolution frame with said characteristic in the original full resolution frame to determine the deviation of the reconstructed full resolution frame from the original full resolution frame with respect to said characteristic, comparing said characteristic in the upsampled reconstructed spatial reduced resolution frame with said characteristic in the original full resolution frame to determine the deviation of the upsampled reconstructed spatial reduced resolution frame from the original full resolution frame with respect to said characteristic, selecting the frame with the lesser deviation from the original full resolution frame with respect to said characteristic, and outputting the coded data corresponding to the frame with the lesser deviation from the original full resolution frame with respect to said characteristic to the bitstream.
Abstract:
A method for enhancing color fidelity in multi-reproduction, includes scanning an image to be reproduced, wherein the image contains an invisible digital watermark including color information; decoding the color information contained in the watermark; comparing the decoded color information with the scanned image; generating a correction table from the differences between the decoded color information and the scanned image; and performing color correction on the scanned image using the correction table. This method confines the color error to one generation, even when copies go through multiple reproduction.
