摘要： Methods and apparatus of processing an undecoded document image in a digital computer to modify the document image so as to emphasize semantically significant portions without first converting the document image to character codes. The document image is segmented into image units, and morphological image characteristics of the image units are evaluated to identify significant image units for emphasis. In one embodiment, the significant image units are emphasized by modifying at least one shape characteristic of the significant image units using at least one uniform morphological bitmap operation applied to the entire image unit bitmaps corresponding to the significant image units.

摘要： A method and apparatus for processing a document image, using a programmed general or special purpose computer, includes forming the image into image units, and at least one image unit classifier of at least one of the image units is determined, without decoding the content of the at least one of the image units. The classifier of the at least one of the image units is then compared with a classifier of another image unit. The classifier may be image unit length, width, location in the document, font, typeface, cross-section, the number of ascenders, the number of descenders, the average pixel density, the length of the top line contour, the length of the base contour, the location of image units with respect to neighboring image units, vertical position, horizontal inter-image unit spacing, and so forth. The classifier comparison can be a comparison with classifiers of image units of words in a reference table, or with classifiers of other image units in the document. Equivalent classes of image units can be generated, from which word frequency and significance can be determined. The image units can be determined by creating bounding boxes about identifiable segments or extractable units of the image, and can contain a word, a phrase, a letter, a number, a character, a glyph or the like.

摘要： A method and apparatus detects function words in a first image of a scanned document without first converting the image to character codes. Function words include determiners, prepositions, articles, and other words that play a largely grammatical role, as opposed to words such as nouns and verbs that convey topic information. Non-content based morphological characteristics of image units are predetermined as well as the presence or omission of character ascenders and descenders in image units. Predetermined characteristics of function word image units are compared with the image units of an image and when a match occurs, the image unit is identified as a function word. Conversely when no matching characteristics occur, the image unit is identified as a non-function word. Additionally, image units are classified and identified as containing only upper case characters, only lower case characters, only digits, and mixed character types.

摘要： A method and apparatus for differentiating and extracting handwritten annotations and machine printed text in an image. The method provides for the use of morphological operations, preferably at reduced scale, to eliminate for example, the handwritten annotations from an image. A separation mask is produced that, for example, converts all the image pixels corresponding to machine printed text, and none of the image pixels corresponding to handwritten or handprinted annotations. The separation mask is used in conjunction with the original image to produce separate handwritten annotations and machine printed text images. The invention also provides a method and apparatus for identifying the location of specialized type styles such as bold and italic is disclosed. The method erodes a binary image utilizing structuring elements which provide a relatively large number of hits in regions containing the specialized type styles. The destination image resulting from the erosion is coalesced so as to form masks which may be used to extract portions of the original image containing the specialized type styles.

摘要： In a text recognition system, the computational efficiency of a text line image decoding operation is improved by utilizing the characteristic of a graph known as the cut set. The branches of the data structure that represents the image are initially labeled with estimated scores. When estimated scores are used, the decoding operation must perform iteratively on a text line before producing the best path through the data structure. After each iteration, nodes in the best path are re-scored with actual scores. The decoding operation incorporates an operating mode called skip mode. When the number of consecutive image positions for which the change value of cumulative path scores between current and prior iterations is substantially constant and exceeds a threshold, this signals the presence of a cut set, and the score change value is added to a previously computed path score until a re-scored node is encountered, thereby eliminating the expensive computation of new cumulative path scores at those image positions.
摘要翻译： 在文本识别系统中，通过利用称为切割集的图形的特征来提高文本行图像解码操作的计算效率。 表示图像的数据结构的分支最初用估计分数标记。 当使用估计分数时，在通过数据结构生成最佳路径之前，解码操作必须在文本行上迭代执行。 每次迭代后，最佳路径中的节点用实际分数重新计分。 解码操作包括称为跳过模式的操作模式。 当当前迭代和以前迭代之间的累积路径得分的变化值基本上恒定并超过阈值的连续图像位置的数量时，这表示切割集合的存在，并将得分改变值添加到先前计算的路径 得分，直到遇到重新计分的节点，从而消除了在这些图像位置处的新累积路径分数的昂贵计算。

摘要： A system for authenticating a hard copy of an original document. The system employs a special copying machine at the sender's end together with a special ID card (smart card) or other user identification for activating the special machine, and a special copying machine at the receiving end. At the sender's station, the original document and ID card are inserted into the machine. The latter digitizes the document text, to produce a digital signature which incorporates unique information from the sender's ID card. This machine then produces a hard copy of the document to which is added the digital signature. The sender retains the original, but forwards the copy to the recipient or receiver. The receiver then inserts the received copy into the machine at his location, which digitizes and processes the document text and signature and indicates whether the digital signature is valid. Preferably a dual key authentication system is used, with the digital signature incorporating the sender's secret signing key, and the receiver using the related public key in the validation process.

摘要： A magneto-optic optical disc system which uses the magneto-optic differential data detection channel, with addition only a low pass filter, to also detect focus error. The differential data detection channel includes a pair of photodetectors, the first photodetector being located a predetermined distance within the focal length of the detector lens associated with that photodetector and the second photodetector being located beyond the focal length of the detector lens associated with that photodetector. The output of a differential amplifier receiving the photodetector outputs is the data signal and the output of a low pass filter connected to the output of the differential amplifier is the focus error signal. The dual functionality of the differential data detection channel eliminates a separate optical focus channel, and relative to separate astigmatic focus and data detection channels elmininates a quadrature detector, several optical elements, several electrical elements, and the space they occupy.
