Real-Time Face Tracking in a Digital Image Acquisition Device

Номер: US20120062761A1
Автор: Eran Steinberg, Mihai Ianculescu, Mihnea Gangea, Peter Corcoran, Petronel Bigioi, Stefan Petrescu
Принадлежит: DigitalOptics Corp Europe Ltd

A database includes an identifier and associated parameters for each of a number of faces to be recognized. A new acquired image from an image stream is received potentially including one or more face regions. Face detection is applied to at least a portion of the acquired image to provide a set of candidate face regions each having a given size and a respective location. Using the database, face recognition is selectively applied to at least one of the candidate face regions to provide an identifier for a face recognized in a candidate face region. A portion of the image is stored including the recognized face in association with at least one image of the image stream.

Принадлежит: DigitalOptics Corp Europe Ltd

An image processing apparatus for tracking faces in an image stream iteratively receives an acquired image from the image stream including one or more face regions. The acquired image is sub-sampled at a specified resolution to provide a sub-sampled image. An integral image is then calculated for a least a portion of the sub-sampled image. Fixed size face detection is applied to at least a portion of the integral image to provide a set of candidate face regions. Responsive to the set of candidate face regions produced and any previously detected candidate face regions, the resolution is adjusted for sub-sampling a subsequent acquired image.

Method and apparatus for linking designated portions of a received document image with an electronic address

Номер: US20120120430A1
Автор: Irving Tsai
Принадлежит: Individual

A method and apparatus for receiving document images including portions linked to one or more electronic addresses. The linked portion of the document is identified using a predetermined visual attribute, such as bold-face text, or delimiters to mark the portion. The document image is then transmitted using, e.g., existing apparatus for transmitting images, such as a facsimile machine. An electronic address associated with the identified portion of the document is also transmitted using existing techniques, such as by touch-tone telephone. The address may be a voice telephone number, facsimile telephone number, World Wide Web address, or any other address with which communication can be established. At the receiving end, both the document image and electronic address are received. Pattern matching is performed on the document image to identify the portion with the predetermined attribute as a linked portion. The received electronic address is then correlated with the linked portion. When the document image is displayed on, e.g., a computer screen, the linked portion is visually identified so that the recipient can access the electronic address by, e.g., clicking on the portion using a mouse. Communication may then be initiated by the recipient with the entity associated with the electronic address.

An image processing device comprises a receiving port, a processor, a storage and an output port. The receiving port receives old image data from a peripheral device. The processor electrically connected to receiving port performs a judging process on the old image data. When an old information block of the old image data is judged as containing old copy generation-count information, the processor generates a new information block containing new copy generation-count information according to the old copy generation-count information, and subtracts the old information block from the old image data and adds the new information block thereto to generate new image data and an encoding record. The storage electrically connected to the processor stores the encoding record. The output port electrically connected to the processor outputs the new image data. Copy apparatus and method using the image processing device are also provided.

An image processing apparatus includes a data input unit, an operation panel, a storage unit, and a control unit. The operation panel accepts a registration of a margin image and a setting of an emphasis region within the margin image. The storage unit stores data for emphasis including a registered margin image and positional data. The registered margin image is the margin image that has been registered, and the positional data indicates a position of the emphasis region in the registered margin image. When the control unit determines that the registered margin image is included in the page image data, the control unit performs an emphasis process on an image of a corresponding region whose position at the registered margin image included in the page image data is identical to a position of the emphasis region in the registered margin image included in the stored data for emphasis.

A system and method are disclosed for rendering printed documents tamper evident. Examples render classes of documents tamper evident with cryptographic level security or detect tampering events, where such security was previously unavailable, for example, in documents printed using common printers without special paper or ink. Examples enable proving the date of document content without the need for expensive third party archival, including documents held, since their creation, entirely in secrecy or in untrustworthy environments, such as on easily-altered, publicly-accessible internet sites. Examples can use a document's prior registration date in a blockchain to establish a no-later than date-of-existence for that document. Examples can extend the useful life of integrity verification algorithms, such as hash functions, even when applied to binary executable files.

Принадлежит: DOLBY LABORATORIES LICENSING CORPORATION

An existing metadata set that is specific to a color volume transformation model is transformed to a metadata set that is specific to a distinctly different color volume transformation model. For example, source content metadata for a first color volume transformation model is received. This source metadata determines a specific color volume transformation, such as a sigmoidal tone map curve. The specific color volume transformation is mapped to a color volume transformation of a second color volume transformation model, e.g., a Bézier tone map curve. Mapping can be a best fit curve, or a reasonable approximation. Mapping results in metadata values used for the second color volume transformation model (e.g., one or more Bézier curve knee points and anchors). Thus, devices configured for the second color volume transformation model can reasonably render source content according to received source content metadata of the first color volume transformation model. 1. A method of transforming dynamic metadata comprising:receiving source content metadata for a first color volume transformation model, the source content metadata associated with content;determining a first transfer curve for the first color volume transformation model based on the received source content metadata; andperceptually mapping the first transfer curve of the first color volume transformation model to a second transfer curve of a second color volume transformation model; andrendering the content for the second color volume transformation model.2.
