Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for processing and rendering image data during a single pass through the image data. A method includes loading scanlines of image data into a rolling band buffer, performing a windowing technique on the image data, and determining if a class change was experienced by any window having a portion in an output scanline of the buffer. The method further includes processing image data in the output scanline for a window portion that experienced a class change, using a blended rendering algorithm. If no class change is detected, the method includes processing image data in the output scanline for the window portion using a class-based rendering algorithm. The method optionally includes rendering processed image data for the output scanline to a rendering device. According to other features, an apparatus includes a rolling band buffer, a windowing processor, class-based rendering algorithms, and a blended rendering algorithm.

Abstract: A process for color graphics image processing, related to detection and segmentation of sweeps, is provided. An input graphics image is transformed into a three-dimensional histogram in an appropriate color space 104 (e.g., CIELUV). Two-dimensional histograms are estimated from the three-dimensional histogram 106. The two-dimensional histograms are processed to detect and segment sweeps 108. Sweep segment information from the processing of the two-dimensional histograms is combined 110. The combined sweep segment information is used to process the input graphics image to identify and segment sweeps 112. Post-processing may be optionally and selectively used to reject false alarms (i.e., areas falsely identified as sweeps) 114.

Abstract: A watermarked image generator includes a watermark data source that inputs watermark data to a watermark embedding device. The watermark embedding device halftones the input image to generate the output image made of 2×2 binary patterns, the 2×2 binary patterns forming the watermarks embedded in the output image. The watermark embedding device includes a tri-level error diffusion generator that performs tri-level error diffusion on the input image by halftoning the input image into black, white and 50% gray. A plurality of halftoning circuits successively replace each pixel of the halftoned input image with one of a plurality of the 2×2 binary patterns. The one of the plurality of 2×2 binary patterns corresponds to at least one respective bit of the watermark data when a pixel of the halftoned image data is 50% gray. The watermark data can be segmentation map data of the input image.

Abstract: A method and system for image processing, in conjunction with classification of images between natural pictures and synthetic graphics, using SGLD texture (e.g., variance, bias, skewness, and fitness), color discreteness (e.g., R—L, R—U, and R—V normalized histograms), or edge features (e.g., pixels per detected edge, horizontal edges, and vertical edges) is provided. In another embodiment, a picture/graphics classifier using combinations of SGLD texture, color discreteness, and edge features is provided. In still another embodiment, a “soft” image classifier using combinations of two (2) or more SGLD texture, color discreteness, and edge features is provided. The “soft” classifier uses image features to classify areas of an input image in picture, graphics, or fuzzy classes.

Abstract: An annular window-shaped structuring element is provided for image processing to remove speckles from a scanned image. The window-shaped structuring element is composed of two differently sized squares sharing the same geometric center-point. The pixel to be analyzed with the structuring element is at the center-point. The structuring element is used in a method to remove speckles from binary, grayscale, and/or color images by first eroding the image, detecting speckles relative to other pixels in the image, and removing declared speckles. The method may additionally include a halftoning module to protect halftone images.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for determining a vehicle type of a vehicle detected in an image is disclosed. An image having a detected vehicle is received. A number of vehicle models having salient feature points is projected on the detected vehicle. A first set of features derived from each of the salient feature locations of the vehicle models is compared to a second set of features derived from corresponding salient feature locations of the detected vehicle to form a set of positive match scores (p-scores) and a set of negative match scores (n-scores). The detected vehicle is classified as one of the vehicle models models based at least in part on the set of p-scores and the set of n-scores.

Abstract: A passbook conveyance roller device comprises a conveyance roller and a pinch roller, which are arranged to be opposed to each other, to convey a passbook. The conveyance roller comprises an inner ring member connected to a drive shaft, a metallic outer ring member, and a rubber member fixed to, for example, an outer peripheral surface of the inner ring member and press fitted into an inner peripheral surface of the outer ring member to give elastic forces to the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring member in a plurality of positions, which are spaced circumferentially at predetermined intervals from one another and arranged in point symmetry. Both the inner ring member and the outer ring member are rotated through the elastic member when a load torque on the outer ring member is less than a set torque set by the elastic forces of the rubber member. Relative slip is generated between the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring member and the rubber member when a load torque on the outer ring member is equal to or larger than the set torque.
