摘要： A digital multifunctional apparatus includes a printer, a scanner and a memory. A document code is stored in the memory and printed on a management document when a scanned document is stored in the memory. The document code identifies the scanned document. The apparatus comprises a receiver configured to receive data from an external data source. The memory is configured to store the data received from the external data source. A generator generates a document code that identifies the data received by the receiver. Further, a transmitter transmits the document code to the external data source to enable access by the external data source to the data in the memory identified by the document code.

摘要： An image feature amount extraction unit segments an image into a plurality of blocks and calculates the feature amount of each block. A feature amount label string generation unit adds a label to each block in accordance with the feature amount acquired for the block and arranges the labels on the basis of a predetermined block sequence to generate a label string. In retrieval, the similarity between the label string of a specified image and that of an image to be compared is calculated, and an image whose similarity exceeds a predetermined value is output as a retrieval result. In this way, similar image retrieval can be performed in consideration of the arrangement of feature amounts of images, and simultaneously, similar image retrieval can be performed while absorbing any difference due to a variation in photographing condition or the like.

摘要： An image retrieval system for retrieving a plurality of images recorded in a recording medium, records data concerning operations and processing for image files as history data. A desired image is found based on the history data. Further, an image is found based on a combination of photographing condition in a photographing operation, and the history data of the operations executed for the image file. Therefore, the image retrieval system allows the image to be efficiently, exactly, and conveniently found without a trouble of assigning key information to the image file.

摘要： A method for automatically processing a digital image to locate one or more windows that are substantially brighter than their surroundings begins by processing the digital image to compute a feature image identifying the location of features in the image based on a weighted contribution of edge information, brightness information, information corresponding to spatial activity and occlusion boundary information. Then the feature image is processed with one or more morphological filtering operations to provide edge smoothing and noise removal, thereby generating a filtered image. The filtered image is processed to identify zero or more regions, wherein the presence of one or more regions provides a segmented image, and the segmented image is logically combined with the occlusion boundary information to provide zero or more window candidates. Actual windows are deduced by verifying zero or more of the window candidates based on their mean intensity relative to the mean intensity of the digital image.

摘要： A method and system for employing image recognition techniques to produce a photocollage from a plurality of images wherein the system obtains a digital record for each of the plurality of images, assigns each of the digital records a unique identifier and stories the digital records in a database; automatically sorts the digital records using at least one date type to categorize each of the digital records according at least one predetermined criteria; and generates a first draft of a photocollage from the digital records. The method and system provides for alterations of the first draft using either a sticker selected from a plurality of stickers which each have a unique identifier within a data base or a digital file format that allows drag and drop features of both the photocollage and alternative images to be placed within the photocollage. The system employs data types selected from pixel data; metadata; product order information; processing goal information; or customer profile to automatically sort data typically by culling or grouping to categorize according to either an event, a person, or chronologically.
