Object recognition system with database pruning and querying

Номер: US20120011119A1
Автор: Ashwin Swaminathan, Pawan K. Baheti, Serafin Diaz Spindola, Xia Ning
Принадлежит: Qualcomm Inc

A database for object recognition is generated by performing at least one of intra-object pruning and inter-object pruning, as well as keypoint clustering and selection. Intra-object pruning removes similar and redundant keypoints within an object and different views of the same object, and may be used to generate and associate a significance value, such as a weight, with respect to remaining keypoint descriptors. Inter-object pruning retains the most informative set of descriptors across different objects, by characterizing the discriminability of the keypoint descriptors for all of the objects and removing keypoint descriptors with a discriminability that is less than a threshold. Additionally, a mobile platform may download a geographically relevant portion of the database and perform object recognition by extracting features from the query image and using determined confidence levels for each query feature during outlier removal.

System and method to find the precise location of objects of interest in digital images

Номер: US20120033852A1
Автор: Daniel Curtis, Michael B. Kennedy
Принадлежит: Individual

The present invention is a method and system to precisely locate objects of interest in any given image scene space, which finds the presence of objects based upon pattern matching geometric relationships to a master, known set. The method and system prepares images for feature and attribute detection and identifies the presence of potential objects of interest, then narrows down the objects based upon how well they match a pre designated master template. The method by which matching takes place is done through finding all objects, plotting its area, juxtaposing a sweet spot overlap of its area on master objects, which in turn forms a glyph shape. The glyph shape is recorded, along with all other formed glyphs in an image's scene space and then mapped to form sets using a classifier and finally a pattern matching algorithm. The resulting objects of interest matches are then refined to plot the contour boundaries of the object's grouped elements (arrangement of contiguous pixels of the given object called a Co-Glyph) and finally snapped to its component actual dimensions e.g., x, y of a character or individual living cell.

Even when the size of a three-dimensional image is changed, the pop-out amount is automatically adjusted to one intended by the user. The pop-out amount is adjusted based on a conversion characteristic defining a relationship between the size and the pop-out amount of a three-dimensional image as the size of the three-dimensional image is changed, and therefore the pop-out amount of the three-dimensional image can be automatically adjusted to a given pop-out amount preferred by the user or intended by the user.

Номер: US20120082004A1
Автор: Petros T. Boufounos
Принадлежит: Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories Inc

Pulses are transmitted into a scene by an array of the transducers, wherein each pulse has wideband ultrasound frequency, wherein the pulses are transmitted simultaneously, and wherein a pattern of the wideband ultrasound frequencies in each pulse is unique with respect to the patterns of each other pulse. The pulses as received when the pulse are reflected by the scene and objects in the scene. Each received pulse is sampled and decomposed using a Fourier transform to produce frequency coefficients, which are stacked to produce a linear system modeling a reflectivity of the scene and the objects. Then, a recovery method is applied to the linear system to recover the reflectivity of the scene and the objects.

Method and apparatus for compressed sensing yields acceptable quality reconstructions of an object from reduced numbers of measurements. A component x of a signal or image is represented as a vector having m entries. Measurements y, comprising a vector with n entries, where n is less than m, are made. An approximate reconstruction of the m-vector x is made from y. Special measurement matrices allow measurements y=Ax+z, where y is the measured m-vector, x the desired n-vector and z an m-vector representing noise. “A” is an n by m matrix, i.e. an array with fewer rows than columns. “A” enables delivery of an approximate reconstruction, x # ′ of x. An embodiment discloses approximate reconstruction of x from the reduced-dimensionality measurement y. Given y, and the matrix A, approximate reconstruction x # of x is possible. This embodiment is driven by the goal of promoting the approximate sparsity of x # .

Extracorporeal blood treatment systems draw blood at such a high rate that a loss of integrity in the blood circuit can be serious. There are a number of mechanisms for detecting and preventing leaks, but none is perfect. This tends to limit the use of such equipment in unsupervised settings, such as the home will be limited. Some leak detection schemes can be made sensitive enough to detect the barest of leaks, but when this is done, they result in too many false positives. The invention combines information from multiple inputs to enhance sensitivity in leak detection and reduce the problem of false positives.

Method for Implementing a High-Level Image Representation for Image Analysis

Номер: US20120213426A1
Автор: Hao Su, LI FEI-FEI, Li-Jia Li
Принадлежит: Leland Stanford Junior University

Robust low-level image features have been proven to be effective representations for a variety of visual recognition tasks such as object recognition and scene classification; but pixels, or even local image patches, carry little semantic meanings. For high-level visual tasks, such low-level image representations are potentially not enough. The present invention provides a high-level image representation where an image is represented as a scale-invariant response map of a large number of pre-trained generic object detectors, blind to the testing dataset or visual task. Leveraging on this representation, superior performances on high-level visual recognition tasks are achieved with relatively classifiers such as logistic regression and linear SVM classifiers.

Принадлежит: Sony Corp

A system and method for effectively performing a scene rectification procedure comprises an image manager that includes a segmentation module, a label module, and a rectification module. The segmentation module initially performs a segmentation procedure upon an image to produce corresponding sub-scenes. The label module then categorizes the sub-scenes by assigning initial labels without utilizing context information from other sub-scenes in the image. The rectification module performs a semantic grouping procedure upon the sub-scenes to produce semantic group nodes corresponding to pairs of the sub-scenes that have a predefined semantic relationship. The rectification module converts a sub-scene graph of the sub-scenes into a semantic graph that includes the semantic group nodes. The rectification module then performs a rectification procedure to convert the initial labels of the sub-scenes into rectified labels. A processor of an electronic device typically controls the image manager for performing the scene rectification procedure.

The method calculates an initial set of weights from a measure of similarity between pairs of pixels, from which a resultant set of weights is calculated for pairs of pixels that are less that a threshold distance apart on the image. The calculation calculates a weight for a pair of pixels as the sum over a set of third pixels of the product of initial weight of the first pixel of the pair of pixel with the third pixel and the weight of the third pixel with the second pixel. Each weight is then subjected to a power coefficient operation. The resultant set of weights and the initial set of weights are then compared to check for convergence. If the weights converge, the converged set of weights is used to divide the image into superpixels.
