摘要： Techniques are disclosed for performing color correction in a color printer. An RGB test image is printed to produce a printed calibration image. Colors in the printed calibration image are measured and compared to expected color values. A color corrector generates a printer lookup table (LUT) based on this comparison. The LUT may be generated based on models of the printer's print engine and previous LUTs. The color corrections are applied to subsequent print jobs to improve the quality of color output. Color measurement and correction may be performed using a closed-loop system contained within the printer that includes a color measurement device (such as a scanner) and a computer.

摘要： A multicolor imaging system is described wherein at least two, and preferably three, different image-forming layers of a thermal imaging member are addressed at least partially independently by a thermal printhead or printheads from the same surface of the imaging member by controlling the temperature of the thermal printhead(s) and the time thermal energy is applied to the image-forming layers. Each color of the thermal imaging member can be printed alone or in selectable proportion to the other color(s). Novel thermal imaging members are also described.

摘要： Techniques are disclosed for correcting the exposure of a digital image. An exposure predictor may be generated based on a set of images for which ground truth data are known. After identifying an optimal set of features, the exposure of the digital image may be corrected by extracting values of the selected optimal features from the image, using the predictor to predict a desired exposure correction for the image, and correcting the exposure of the image by the predicted desired amount. Exposure correction is based on a model that relates intensity of light in the world to the RGB digits of the digital image. The model comprises a gamma function that models the response of a typical monitor and a S-shaped curve that compresses the large dynamic range of the world to the small dynamic range of the RGB digit space.

摘要： A position is determined by sensing a signal corresponding to a subsequence of marks in a non-periodic sequence of the marks on a scale. A coarse position PA is determined by matching the subsequence with all possible subsequences of the non-periodic sequence. Zero-crossings corresponding to rising edges of the signal and zero-crossings corresponding to falling edges of the signal are detected. An incremental position Pi is determined using the zero-crossings. The coarse and the incremental position are summed to obtain the position.

摘要： During pre-processing, a 3D model of the object is rendered for various poses by arranging virtual point light sources around the lens of a virtual camera. The shadows are used to obtain oriented depth edges of the object illuminated from multiple directions. The oriented depth edges are stored in a database. A camera acquires images of the scene by casting shadows onto the scene from different directions. The scene can include one or more objects arranged in arbitrary poses with respect to each other. The poses of the objects are determined by comparing the oriented depth edges obtained from the acquired images to the oriented depth edges stored in the database. The comparing evaluates, at each pixel, a cost function based on chamfer matching, which can be speed up using downhill simplex optimization.

摘要： A method identifies an unknown face in an input image using reference images of known faces. A Haar-like feature vector is extracted from each image. The vectors are compressed. An L1 norm is determined between the compressed feature vector of the input image and each compressed feature vector from the set of reference images to determine a most similar reference image. The identity of the face associated with the most similar reference image is assigned as the identity of the unknown face in the input image.
