摘要:
Resolution of an image capture system is measured by imaging a test target having a progression of feature sizes and pitch in respective sub-fields thereof. The image captured by the imaging system is then inspected to determine a sub-field image which does not include aliasing in the form of a Moire' pattern. Inclusion of reference numerals corresponding to the sub-field image feature size and pitch allows direct reading of the resolution of the imaging system. Such a system enables fast and accurate determination of the resolution and alignment of an imaging system using an inexpensively produced test target together with an arbitrary image viewing program.

Systems and methods are provided for classifying a subject into one of a plurality of output classes. An input pattern representing the subject is classified at a plurality of pattern recognition classifiers to obtain a ranked set of at least two classifier outputs at each classifier. A classifier output includes an associated output class, output score, and ranking. Each classifier output is mapped to a corresponding weight value according to its associated output class, output score, and ranking. The weight values for the classifier outputs are combined according to a voting algorithm to determine an output class associated with the subject.

In order to render information contained in images more detectable in the presence of noise, the present invention discloses a system and method to binarize the images in the presence of noise. The method of this invention comprises the steps of applying a dynamic range reducing filter to the digitized image values, obtaining a range reduced image; applying an edge detecting filter to the range reduced image, obtaining a filtered image; and then, adaptively binarizing the digitized image utilizing the corresponding filtered image to obtain an adaptive threshold.

A method and system for detecting the corners of a region in cluttered images. The initial data for the method of this invention includes an image of a region of interest. The edges interior to the region of interest are detected by an edge detection method. The detected edges are culled in order to obtain a reduced edge group, where the reduced edge group includes a number of points. A measure of cornerness is obtained for each one point from the reduced edge group. A number of candidate corner points are selected from the reduced edge group by applying a predetermined criterion to the measure of cornerness. The region corner points are identified from the candidate corner points based on a predetermined relationship, such as a distance, between each candidate corner point and characteristic edge points of the region of interest, such as edge centers and corners. The system implements the method of this invention.
