    摘要: A system (100) and a method (500) are described for determining a two-dimensional position of a location in an image. The method (500) starts by imaging (510) a two-dimensional pattern (440). The two-dimensional pattern comprises a plurality of at least partially overlapping two-dimensional sub-patterns (410, 420, 430). The sub-patterns (410, 420, 430) repeat with different spatial periods to form the two-dimensional pattern, and the spatial period of the sub-patterns are anharmonic. A two-dimensional offset for each of the sub-patterns is then determined (540) at the location in the image formed by the imaging. The two-dimensional position is determined from said two-dimensional offsets.

    摘要: A method (200) of determining at least rotation and scale parameters of a transformation relating two images is disclosed. The method (200) starts by forming a spatial domain representation of each of the images that is invariant to translation of the images. A correlation in the log-polar domain is next performed between the representations. After detecting a magnitude peak in the correlation, the method (200) determines the rotation and scale parameters from the position of the magnitude peak.

    摘要: A method (300) is described of determining characteristic of an ink jet printer (15). A chart containing multiple regions or patches is printed (320) on a print medium (115) using the ink jet print (15). The chart includes at least a first region printed using a first set of nozzles, and at least a second region printed using a second set of nozzles. The first and second sets of nozzles are a predetermined distance apart in the printer head of the printer (15). The printing of the first and second regions is also separated by a print medium advance operation equal to the predetermined distance. This causes the first and second regions to be aligned in the direction of the print medium advance operation. The chart is then imaged using scanner (16) chart to form a chart image. The positions of the regions appearing in the chart image are next determined (340). The spatial alignment characteristic of the printer is calculated from the distance, in the medium advance direction, between said first and second regions.

The method comprises, in regard to an encoding step, the steps of resolving (in a step 2303) in regard to an N-level image to be recorded, a pixel of the image into a major component having N possible values, selecting (in the step 2303) a pattern element depending upon the major component and the position of the pixel in the image, and recording the selected pattern element (in a step 2308) onto a transfer medium. In regard to a corresponding decoding step the method comprises extracting (in a step 2405) from the recorded document, a retrieved pattern element for said pixel, determining a pattern element (in a step 2407) depending upon a major component extracted from the retrieved pattern element and the position of the pixel on the recorded document, and comparing (in a step 2409) the retrieved pattern element and the said determined pattern element.

    摘要: A method and system is disclosed for authenticating a physical medium (1405). The method starts by retrieving (1406) a reference digital signature (1412) previously determined (1403) based upon visual characteristics of an area (1402) of a reference physical medium (1400). A candidate digital signature (1415) is determined based upon visual characteristics of an area (1408) of the physical medium (1405), the area (1408) of the physical medium (1405) being at least partly corresponding to the area (1402) of the reference physical medium (1400). Weight values associated with different parts of at least one of the areas (1402 and 1408) are determined (201). Finally, the candidate digital signature (1415) is compared (1420) with the reference digital signature (1412), wherein the contributing of the parts in the comparison (1420) is based upon the weight values.

    摘要: A method (200) is disclosed of detecting one or more patterns embedded in an image. Each pattern embedded in the image has been formed from a one-dimensional basis function. The method (200) starts by calculating (210) a projective transform of the image. A 1-D correlation is then calculated (220) between the projective transform and the basis function for a selection of angles. Finally, one or more peaks of the correlation are found (230). The position of each of the peaks provides spatial parameters of one of the one or more embedded patterns.

The method (1000) maintains a test pattern image (1005), the test pattern image (1005) comprising alignment features and image analysis features.
