摘要:
A pattern recognition system comprising scanning means (1) for producing a binary signal indicative of the state of the elementary areas in successively scanned columns of elementary areas and segmentation means to separate from said signal data relating to individual discrete graphic objects in the scanned pattern and to store the separated data in individual storage zones of a memory array, characterized in that said segmentation means comprise a QTC generator (2) for producing quasitopological codes indicative of predetermined states of successive elementary areas using the data in the signal of each successive scanned column and the data in the signal of the last previously scanned column, and for producing therefrom a start and a stop signals at the beginning and end of any series of data corresponding to a fragment of a graphic object, the succession of codes being different depending on whether a fragment detected in the signal is or is not continued from last previously scanned column, and assignment control means (3) for assigning a selected memory zone of a memory array (4) to any said series of data depending on the codes allotted at the beginning and end of the fragment, and controlling the delivery of said series of data to said selected memory zone.

A device for image analysis comprising scanner (1) for producing a video signal indicative of the light intensity received at successive regular time intervals from an image scanned along a first direction at an automatically controlled known motion velocity and along a second direction at an unknown motion velocity, characterized in that it further comprises circuits (2,5) for determining a reference contrast value from the difference between light intensities received from points of the image scanned along the first direction, circuits (3,6) for determining a variable contrast value from the difference between light intensities received from points of the image scanned along the second direction, circuit (7) for comparing the variable contrast value with the reference contrast value, and circuits (8,10) for using the comparison for compensating for the unknown motion velocity in the production of the video signal.
摘要:
The device of the invention allows the binarized evaluation of a pattern from a signal indicative of intensity values of spatially distributed discrete points of the pattern. It comprises circuits for registering the intensity values of points distributed in at least two concentric rings within an elementary area, at least in one sector centered on the elementary area, determining contrast values each equal to the difference of the registered intensity values between a point of an inner ring and a point of an outer ring, and assigning a positive and negative difference sign to respectively the positive and negative contrast values thus determined having an absolute value higher than a predetermined contrast threshold. A counter is provided for counting distinctively the positive and negative difference signs in the vicinity of the elementary area. An evaluation circuit assigns a light or dark quality to the area respectively when the counted difference signals contain a predominant number of positive or negative difference signs by more than a predetermined minimum.

An image scanning method, comprising providing an array of intercalated odd and even detectors, said odd detectors and said even detectors being aligned parallely to a common direction, displacing said array over said image transversely to said direction, repeatedly serially sampling element signals from said detectors, each indicative of the intensity detected by a corresponding detector over an element part of the image, and serially transferring into an image signal a sequence of said element signals sampled from said odd detectors and a sequence said element signal sampled from said even detectors alternately.
摘要:
A procedure for the parallel conversion of an analog signal to a cyclic binary code with one comparison to a threshold per channel, or bit, in which each channel is composed of an analog function generator, characterized by the fact that the transfer function of said generator is constructed in a piecewise-linear manner from a certain number of pairs of segments of straight lines, whose input/output slopes have equal absolute values and opposite signs, where in each pair the lower instantaneous value is selected by an operator MIN, of two arguments, and among all the lower instantaneous values thus selected, the greatest instantaneous value is selected by an operator MAX, of number of arguments equal to the number of pairs of segments that compose the said transfer function, in such manner that the value of the code is zero or one according to whether the instantaneous value at the output of the said function generator is below the value of the threshold of a comparator or above.
