摘要： An embodiment generally relates to systems and methods for electronically auto-filing and retrieving erasable paper document documents configured for ultraviolet (UV) imaging. A device can embed a machine readable code on an erasable paper document, or can detect a machine readable code preprinted on the document. An electronic version of the erasable paper document along with the machine readable code can be stored in a database. When the machine readable code is later detected on a rendered document, the electronic version corresponding to the machine readable code can be retrieved from storage. The erasable paper document can be re-rendered using the retrieved electronic version either as a new erasable paper document, for display to the user, or other renderings.

摘要： As set forth herein, a computer-implemented method facilitates pre-analyzing an image and automatically suggesting to the user the most suitable regions within an image for text-based personalization. Image regions that are spatially smooth and regions with existing text (e.g. signage, banners, etc.) are primary candidates for personalization. This gives rise to two sets of corresponding algorithms: one for identifying smooth areas, and one for locating text regions. Smooth regions are found by dividing the image into blocks and applying an iterative combining strategy, and those regions satisfying certain spatial properties (e.g. size, position, shape of the boundary) are retained as promising candidates. In one embodiment, connected component analysis is performed on the image for locating text regions. Finally, based on the smooth and text regions found in the image, several alternative approaches are described herein to derive an overall metric for “suitability for personalization.”

摘要翻译： 如本文所述，计算机实现的方法有助于预分析图像并且自动地向用户建议图像内的最合适的区域用于基于文本的个性化。 具有空间平滑的图像区域和具有现有文本的区域（例如标牌，横幅等）是用于个性化的主要候选者。 这产生了两组相应的算法：一种用于识别平滑区域，一种用于定位文本区域。 通过将图像划分成块并应用迭代组合策略来找到平滑区域，并且满足某些空间属性（例如，边界的大小，位置，形状）的那些区域被保留为有希望的候选者。 在一个实施例中，对用于定位文本区域的图像执行连接分量分析。 最后，基于图像中发现的平滑和文本区域，本文描述了几种替代方法，以得出“适合个性化”的总体度量。

摘要： The teachings as provided herein relate to a watermark embedded in an image that has the property of being relatively indecipherable under normal light, and yet decipherable under UV light. This fluorescent mark comprises a substrate containing optical brightening agents, and a first dot design printed as an image upon the substrate. The first dot design has as a characteristic the property of strongly suppressing substrate fluorescence. A second dot design having a property of providing a differing level of substrate fluorescence suppression from that of the first dot design such that when rendered in close spatial proximity with the first dot design image print, the resultant image rendered substrate suitably exposed to an ultra-violet light source, will yield a discernable image evident as a fluorescent mark.

摘要： As set forth herein, systems and methods facilitate providing an efficient edge-detection and closed-contour based approach for finding text in natural scenes such as photographic images, digital, and/or electronic images, and the like. Edge information (e.g., edges of structures or objects in the images) is obtained via an edge detection technique. Edges from text characters form closed contours even in the presence of reasonable levels of noise. Closed contour linking and candidate text line formation are two additional features of the described approach. A candidate text line classifier is applied to further screen out false-positive text identifications. Candidate text regions for placement of text in the natural scene of the electronic image are highlighted and presented to a user.

摘要： Methods and systems for automatically detecting multi-object anomalies at a traffic intersection utilizing a joint sparse reconstruction model. A first input video sequence at a first traffic location can be received and at least one normal event involving P moving objects (where P is greater than or equal to 1) can be identified in an offline training phase. The normal event in the first input video sequence can be assigned to at least one normal event class and a training dictionary suitable for joint sparse reconstruction can be built in the offline training phase. A second input video sequence captured at a second traffic location similar to the first traffic location can be received and at least one event involving P moving objects can be identified in an online detection phase.
