| 20110317885 | Automatic and Semi-automatic Image Classification, Annotation and Tagging Through the Use of Image Acquisition Parameters and Metadata - A method for characterizing image contents automatically or semi-automatically using image acquisition parameters and metadata is presented. The method establishes probabilistic and deterministic relationships between different types of metadata and the semantic attributes and contents of images. It furnishes a mechanism that enables the automatic and semi-automatic classification, annotation, tagging, indexing, searching, identification or retrieval of images based on their contents, semantic properties and metadata characteristics. The method uses, but is not limited to, image capture metadata such as focal length, exposure time, relative aperture, flash information, ISO setting, angle of view, subject distance, timestamp, GPS information as well as other forms of metadata, including but not limited to, captions, keywords, headings, tags, comments, remarks, titles which may be automatically, semi-automatically, or manually generated. The present invention can be applied to image databases, web searching, personal search, community search, broad-based or vertical search engines for internet, intranet, extranet or other usages. | 12-29-2011 |
| 20100254601 | Method and device for use in converting a colour image into a grayscale image - A computerised device for converting a colour image data indicative of a plurality of colour image regions defining a two-dimensional colour image, into a grayscale image data indicative of a plurality of grayscale image regions defining a two-dimensional grayscale image, each of the colour image regions corresponding to one of the grayscale image regions, and wherein a luminance information and a two-dimensional chromatic information is associated with each of the colour image regions, wherein the device includes a processor and a memory store, said memory store being adapted to store a program executable by the processor so as to perform the following method steps: | 10-07-2010 |
| 20090047336 | NOVEL FORMULATION OF DEHYDRATED LIPID VESICLES FOR CONTROLLED RELEASE OF ACTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL INGREDIENT VIA INHALATION - A new formulation of dehydrated lipid vesicles employs a vesicle preserver and permits the control of release and delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients into the respiratory system for treatment in particular of asthma. The typical formulation provides controlled release of the active pharmaceutical ingredient from 0% to 100% from 0 to 72 hours after inhalation, changes the systemic administration to topical administration, allows prolonged therapeutic period for one administration, increased stability, with reduced dose, reduced systemic side effects, reduced toxicity. | 02-19-2009 |
