    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method to render spatially uniform memory colors when images printed with CMYK primaries are not rendered uniformly due to output device quality errors. The disclosed method uses an array of sensors to scan a test image. Colors of interest are printed at the desired location first and then adjusted (iterated) to achieve a desired output quality. Iterations are carried out on the image on desired memory colors at the spatial resolution available in the measurement system. Colors of pixels are modified based on position where the pixels will be rendered, thereby compensating for any position/process related differences. Also disclosed is a process for incorporating modified memory colors before rendering, and the extension of memory color concepts to adjust colors for the uniform blocks (not edges), with uniformity defined by user definable thresholds.

    摘要: What is disclosed is a novel system and method for determining the number of objects in an IR image obtained using an IR imaging system. In one embodiment, a total of N intensity values are collected for each pixel in an IR image using a IR imaging system comprising an IR detection device and an IR Illuminator. Intensity values are retrieved from a database which have been estimated for a plurality of known materials, such as skin and hair. A classification is determined for each pixel in the IR image using either a best fitting method of a reflectance, or a correlation method. Upon classification, a total number of objects in the IR image can be determined. The present system and method finds its intended uses in of real world applications such as, determining the number of occupants in a vehicle traveling in a HOV/HOT lane.

    摘要: A method for determining a parking violation includes receiving video data as a sequence of frames provided by a camera. The method includes defining a location of an exclusion zone in the video data. The method includes detecting a vehicle located in the defined exclusion zone. The detecting includes determining a background in an initial frame of the video data and determining a background in a select frame by applying a predetermined updating process. The detecting includes subtracting the background of the select frame from the initial frame to obtain an image difference. The detecting includes classifying the pixels in the image difference as foreground or background pixels and classifying the pixels in the foreground image as vehicle or non-vehicle pixels. The method includes determining a duration that the detected vehicle is in the exclusion zone based on a number of the sequence of frames including the detected vehicle.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are optimal or near optimal algorithms implemented as software tools that will allow the user/machine to identify optimal media out of the job set automatically. There are at least two main process steps to the exemplary embodiment. The first step involves the off-line characterization of the printing/image rendering system that will be used to extract the principal basis vectors from the experimental data. The second step involves the run-time mode, in which the pre-characterized basis vectors are used in conjunction with an optimal algorithm that will identify the media for re-calibration/re-characterization from the group of media set that the customer is interested to print. The optimal algorithm performs the combinatorial search every time the customer wishes to select the media. Once the optimal media is selected, the customer or the machine can print color patches (which are also optimal set) and execute the rest of the processing to reconstruct the best color management LUTs.

    摘要: The exemplary embodiment disclosed herein comprises several aspects of defining and using optimal color test patches for calibrating a printing system for various purposes (e.g., multi-media, gamut extension, drifting correction, etc.). One aspect is the creation and use of color patches where the color patches are selected optimally to result in minimum mean square error when those color patches are used to determine weights of a limited number of basis vectors that model the system (e.g., model the print engine response). A joint optimization technique is given as a method to select the optimal color test patches for calibration.
