    摘要: A method of detecting an object depicted in a digital image includes: detecting a plurality of identifying features of the object, wherein the plurality of identifying features are located internally with respect to the object; projecting a location of region(s) of interest of the object based on the plurality of identifying features, where each region of interest depicts content; building and/or selecting an extraction model configured to extract the content based at least in part on: the location of the region(s) of interest, the of identifying feature(s), or both; and extracting the some or all of the content from the digital image using the extraction model. Corresponding system and computer program product embodiments are disclosed. The inventive concepts enable reliable extraction of data from digital images where portions of an object are obscured/missing, and/or depicted on a complex background.

    摘要: Techniques for binarization and extraction of information from image data are disclosed. The inventive concepts include independently binarizing portions of the image data on the basis of individual features, e.g. per connected component, and using multiple different binarization thresholds to obtain the best possible binarization result for each portion of the image data. Determining the quality of each binarization result may be based on attempted recognition and/or extraction of information therefrom. Independently binarized portions may be assembled into a contiguous result. In one embodiment, a method includes: identifying a region of interest within a digital image; generating a plurality of binarized images based on the region of interest using different binarization thresholds; and extracting data from some or all of the plurality of binarized images. The extracted data includes connected components that overlap and/or are obscured by unique background. Corresponding systems and computer program products are disclosed.

    摘要: Systems, computer program products, and techniques for detecting and/or reconstructing objects depicted in digital image data within a three-dimensional space are disclosed. The concepts utilize internal features for detection and reconstruction, avoiding reliance on information derived from location of edges. The inventive concepts provide an improvement over conventional techniques since objects may be detected and/or reconstructed even when edges are obscured or not depicted in the digital image data. In one aspect, detecting a document depicted in a digital image includes: detecting a plurality of identifying features of the document, wherein the plurality of identifying features are located internally with respect to the object; projecting a location of one or more edges of the document based at least in part on the plurality of identifying features; and outputting the projected location of the one or more edges of the document to a display of a computer, and/or a memory.

    摘要: Systems, computer program products, and techniques for detecting and/or reconstructing objects depicted in digital image data within a three-dimensional space are disclosed, according to various exemplary embodiments. The inventive concepts uniquely utilize internal features to accomplish reconstruction, thereby avoiding reliance on reconstructing objects based on information derived from location of edges. The inventive concepts thus provide an improvement over conventional object reconstruction since objects may be detected and/or reconstructed even when edges are obscured or not depicted in the digital image data. In one aspect, reconstructing an object depicted in a digital image includes using a processor to: detect a plurality of identifying features of the object, where the identifying features are located internally with respect to the object; and reconstruct the digital image of the object within a three dimensional coordinate space based at least in part on some or all of the identifying features.
