    摘要: A graphical input and display system for creating and manipulating electronic images includes input devices permitting a user to manipulate elements of electronic images received from various image input sources. A processor, connected to the system, receives requests for various image editing operations and also accesses a memory structure. The system memory structure includes a user interaction module, which allows a user to enter new image material or select and modify existing image material to form primary image objects, as well as a grouping module, which maintains an unrestricted grouping structure, an output module, and data memory.

    摘要: An acquired (e.g., scanned) image contains an imperceptible periodic signal component (e.g., a sinusoid), decoding of which can be used to automatically determine a linear geometric relationship between the acquired image and the original image in which the signal was embedded, without having the original image available during the decoding process. This known geometric relationship allows for linear geometric properties of the acquired image, such as alignment and scaling, to be automatically matched with those of the original image so that the acquired image may be automatically oriented and scaled to the size of the original image. The embedded periodic signals produce a distinct pattern of local peak power concentrations in a spatial frequency amplitude spectrum of the acquired image. Using geometric constraint information about the embedded signals when the signals were originally embedded in the image, the locations and spatial frequencies of the signals are decoded from the image, providing a linear mapping between the peak power concentrations of the acquired and original image spatial frequency amplitude spectra. This linear mapping can be used to compute the linear geometric relationship between the two images. In an illustrated embodiment, the acquired image contains a set of sinusoidal signals that act as a grid. Decoding of the sinusoids does not require the original image, only information about the predetermined geometric relationship of the embedded sinusoids.

    摘要: A visual motion analysis method that uses multiple layered global motion models to both detect and reliably track an arbitrary number of moving objects appearing in image sequences. Each global model includes a background layer and one or more foreground “polybones”, each foreground polybone including a parametric shape model, an appearance model, and a motion model describing an associated moving object. Each polybone includes an exclusive spatial support region and a probabilistic boundary region, and is assigned an explicit depth ordering. Multiple global models having different numbers of layers, depth orderings, motions, etc., corresponding to detected objects are generated, refined using, for example, an EM algorithm, and then ranked/compared. Initial guesses for the model parameters are drawn from a proposal distribution over the set of potential (likely) models. Bayesian model selection is used to compare/rank the different models, and models having relatively high posterior probability are retained for subsequent analysis.
