20100188512 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TESTING IMAGE PIPELINES - A method for testing image pipelines includes transforming an untransformed captured image multiple times using a plurality of pipelines, thereby generating a plurality of transformed images, and comparing a functional set of metrics associated with each of the plurality of transformed images with a functional set of metrics associated with each image in a ground truth set. From the comparison, a determination is made as to which of the plurality of pipelines generates a transformed image that is functionally closest to an image in the ground truth set. | 07-29-2010 |
20100188709 | VARIABLE DATA ADDITION METHOD AND SYSTEM - A variable data addition method and system are disclosed herein. The method includes generating an original image, and defining at least one sub-section of the original image to transform individually. A reversible transformation is applied to the defined at least one sub-section, thereby altering the original image to form an altered image that is non-readable until an inverse of the reversible transformation is applied to the altered image. | 07-29-2010 |
20110116681 | Security Printing Analysis System And Method For Enhancing Security Printing - A method for enhancing security printing includes generating data for a region of interest ( | 05-19-2011 |
20110280480 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENHANCING SECURITY PRINTING - A system for enhancing security printing includes a segmentation system, a secure database in operative communication with the segmentation system, a secure registry in selective operative communication with the segmentation system, and an analysis system in operative communication with the segmentation system and the secure database, and in selective operative communication with the secure registry. The segmentation system performs zoning analysis on a scanned image to identifying a list of regions in the image. The secure database stores at least one of i) a template, or ii) prior zoning output specification. The secure registry stores region of interest information and information pertaining to strategies for identifying a region of interest. The analysis system identifies the region of interest utilizing at least one of the secure database or the secure registry. | 11-17-2011 |
20130301913 | SELECTING METRICS FOR SUBSTRATE CLASSIFICATION - Methods for selecting metrics for substrate classification, and apparatus to perform such methods. The methods include determining a value of a metric from an image of a substrate sample for each substrate sample of a plurality of substrate samples, wherein the metric is indicative of a surface texture of each substrate sample and iteratively assigning substrate samples of the plurality of substrate samples to an aggregate of a particular number of aggregates in response to a value of the metric for each substrate sample until a convergence of clustering is deemed achieved, then determining an indication of cluster tightness of the particular number of aggregates. The methods further include selecting or ignoring the metric for substrate classification in response to the indication of cluster tightness of the particular number of aggregates. | 11-14-2013 |

20140333969 | Printer Sample Feature Set - A system can comprise a memory to store machine readable instructions and a processing unit to access the memory and execute the machine readable instructions. The machine readable instructions can comprise a feature set extractor to extract a feature set from each of a plurality of digital images of print samples. The feature set can be a filtered feature set that includes a feature set characterizing a printer that printed a given print sample of the print samples. The machine readable instructions can also comprise a cluster component to determine clusters of the print samples based on the feature set of each of the plurality of scanned images of the print samples. The machine readable instructions can further comprise a printer identifier to identify the printer of the print samples based on the clusters of the print samples. | 11-13-2014 |
20140376811 | Classifying Images - Methods, and apparatus for performing methods, for classifying an image. Methods include determining a corresponding set of metrics for each region of two or more regions of a pattern of regions of an image, and classifying the image in response to at least the corresponding set of metrics for each of the two or more regions of the pattern of regions. | 12-25-2014 |
20150071556 | Selecting Classifier Engines - Methods, and apparatus for performing methods, for selecting a classifier engine. Methods include, for two or more portions of a set of items of known classification, classifying members of each portion using a particular classifier engine; selecting a portion of the set of items whose classifications satisfy a first criteria; classifying members of the selected portion of the set of items using two or more classifier engines; and selecting a classifier engine whose classification of the selected portion of the set of items satisfies a second criteria. | 03-12-2015 |
