    摘要: A new calibration method for a spectrophotometer or a color sensor is provided using multiple color tiles with known reflectances. This procedure uses multiple reference standard tiles, in addition to, the standard white tile and substitutes a wavelength dependent adjustment constant instead of the dark noise reading. The constant is computed using measurements of multiple reference tiles with known reflectance spectra, and its purpose is to weight the sensor readings in order to avoid ill-posed scaling caused by physical limitations such as less than ideal light sources. A scaling factor may be calculated and also used to compute the reflectance of an arbitrary object. A device for carrying out the method is also provided.

    摘要: A system and method for post-processing a multi-spectral image which has already been processed for pixel classification. A binary image is received which contains pixels that have been classified using a pixel classification method. Each pixel in the image has an associated intensity value and has a pixel value of 1 or 0 depending on whether the pixel has been classified as a material of interest or not. The image is divided into a plurality of blocks of pixels. On a block by block basis, pixel values in a block are changed according to a threshold-based filtering criteria such that pixels in the same block all have the same binary value. Once all the blocks have been processed, contiguous pixels having the same binary value are grouped to form separate objects. In such a manner, pixel classification errors in the post-processed binary image can be reduced.

    摘要: What is disclosed is a novel system and method for determining the number of persons in an IR image obtained using an IR imaging system. The present method separates a human from the surrounding background via a set of particularly formed intensity ratios. Quantities derived from these ratios and threshold values are used to selectively classify whether a pixel in the IR image is from a human or from a non-human. Based upon the classification of the various pixels in the IR image, the number of persons is determined. Various embodiments are disclosed.

    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.
