Abstract:
A new method, system, apparatus and software product for constructing by an electronic device an image panorama from a plurality of images based on their visual quality is presented. The same portion of a panoramic image scene is typically captured on multiple neighborhood video frames from which one can choose the best visual representation to be pasted into the panorama. Constructing the image panorama from the plurality of captured images can comprise the following steps: a) evaluating image quality of K consecutive frames out of the captured plurality of images using a predetermined criterion, b) selecting one image out of the evaluated K frames with the best image quality using a predetermined rule, and c) appending the selected frame to previously selected frames for constructing the image panorama. On-line and off-line implementations are possible.

Abstract:
A method and system for characterising paper, where from images of numerous paper samples are extracted multi-dimensional features describing features of the paper; the said features are entered as input into a learning classifier operating in an unsupervised manner, which produces an projection of the said data of each picture part in a low-dimension space in such a way that paper grades having close properties produce close projection in the low-dimension space and the classification results depicted in the low-dimension space are used to aid classification.
Abstract:
A method, system, computer program product, and business method manage physical devices using a virtual device domain. The method includes establishing a virtual device for each physical device of one or more devices associated with a user and synchronizing the virtual device with one or more other virtual devices.
