摘要:
Selected plant lectins have been found to be larvicidal against a number of common insect pests of agricultural crops. In a preferred embodiment, plant resistance to these insects is produced by inserting into the cells of a plant a gene whose expression causes production of one or more of these lectins in larvicidal amounts.

A method and system for managing passenger and vehicle safety is disclosed. The method includes registering a passenger based on an identification parameter received from the passenger when the passenger boards a vehicle. The method further includes monitoring a set of vehicle status parameters associated with the vehicle in real time. The method also includes generating a notification when a predefined notification condition occurs. The predefined notification condition is associated with at least one of the vehicle status parameters and the identification parameter. The method further includes deregistering the passenger based on the identification parameter when the passenger exits the vehicle.

From input document data there are detected the features of the document, such as the top, bottom, left and right margins, the character space, the line space, the word space, the column space, the size and coordinates of each character, and the like. Values by which the spaces thus detected, including the character space and the line space, are to be adjusted, and a ratio at which to reduce or enlarge the characters are calculated from the features of the document and the minimum margins, the minimum character size and the like preset based on the size of the medium used in an output device such as laser printer. The coordinates of each character on the document is changed in accordance with these values and the character-reducing or -enlarging ratio. The size of the input image is changed based on the original and changed coordinates of each character. The data representing the image thus changed is supplied to the output device, which display or prints a document image, with the spaces adjusted and the characters output in an optimum size.

An image processing apparatus includes an error correcting section for correcting an input image on the basis of a supplied error correction amount and outputting a corrected image, a threshold processing section for processing the corrected image on the basis of a predetermined threshold, further processing the corrected image on the basis of the error correction amount, and outputting an output signal, a correction amount calculating section for calculating in advance a plurality of correction amounts corresponding to possible values of the output signal in parallel with processing of the threshold processing section on the basis of the corrected image output from the error correcting section, and selecting one of the plurality of error correction amounts as the error correction amount in accordance with the value of the output signal actually output from the threshold processing section, and an error correction amount supplying section for supplying the error correction amount calculated and selected by the correction amount calculating section to the error correcting section and the threshold processing section, and diffusing an error of the image to surrounding pixels.
摘要:
A plurality of image regions in the image of the original document are determined on the basis of the image data of the original document. The positions of the plurality of image regions are then indicated as regions in the image of the original document by the display. With use of the display, the user specifies at least one point in the image of the original document in order to specify one region. On the basis of the coordinates of the position specified by the user and the relative positions of the image regions, the image region corresponding to the specified position is determined as the specified region. The image in the specified region is then subjected to the image process desired by the user.
摘要:
In multi-gradation level processing performed by using an ordered dither scheme, offset information between one dither matrix value and dither matrices is set, and all multi-gradation level threshold values are calculated from the basic dither matrix values and the offset information. Multi-gradation level processing is performed by comparing an input image with the calculated threshold values. With this operation in the multi-gradation level processing performed by the ordered dither scheme, all the dither threshold values required for the multi-gradation level processing are generated from the basic dither matrix information and the offset information.
摘要:
A system for inferring intent of visitors to a Website has a visitor-tracking application executing from a digital medium coupled to a server hosting the Website, the server connected to a repository adapted to store data about visitor behavior, and an inference engine for processing the data to infer the intent of visitors. Visitor behavior relative to links is tracked, and intent of a visitor is inferred from one or both, or a combination of analysis of the behavior and deducing meaning for anchor text of links selected.
摘要:
There is provided an image processing apparatus capable of easily removing or suppressing an area which need not be copied in an image. A characteristic amount calculation section detects rectangular areas physically/logically connected to each other from an image read by a scanner, and calculates unnecessary area information required to detect the characteristic amount and unnecessary area of the rectangular areas. An unnecessary area identifying section compares the characteristic amount of each object with unnecessary area identifying reference information based on the unnecessary area information to detect whether the object is an unnecessary area. An output processing section removes or filters the detected unnecessary area according to a specified method to store the unnecessary area in an output image storage section.

A binarization circuit binarizes a pixel signal indicative of an input image, using binarizing processing capable of preserving a gradation of a photograph image. A run expansion circuit performs processing for expanding black pixels included in a binary image to obtain runs, and outputting a run expansion signal. A labelling circuit integrates connected runs into an integrated region (a label) by means of a circumscribing-rectangle extraction circuit, and obtains the position and the size of a rectangle which circumscribes each integrated region, thereby outputting the obtained data as circumscribing-rectangle data. A determination circuit determines whether the integrated region is a text region or a photograph (continuous) region from the size and the configuration of the circumscribing rectangle, and outputs a determination signal.
