20080285858 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR APPLYING SILHOUETTE TRACKING TO DETERMINE ATTITUDE OF PARTIALLY OCCLUDED OBJECTS - A method and system for increasing the certainty of a silhouette matching process, where the process is being used for attitude determination of an object of interest, for example an aircraft. The method involves using one or more mask images that include structure or features that may or may not always be associated with the object of interest, and overlaying the mask image(s) onto a library image of the aircraft. Each pixel of the library image is compared against corresponding pixels of the mask image(s) to determine which pixels represent ambiguous areas of the library image. Those pixels are eliminated from consideration in determining a Fit score, where the Fit score represents a percentage value indicative of a certainty of the matching process in identifying the attitude of the aircraft. The method and system is applicable to a wide ranging variety of object detection applications. | 11-20-2008 |
20130016914 | WORD WARPING FOR OFFLINE HANDWRITING RECOGNITION - Performing word recognition operations to determine what an image of a word represents. The method includes accessing a first image. The first image represents an image version of a word. The method further includes accessing a second image. The second image also represents an image version of a word. Using a warp mesh, the method includes warping the second image to cause the second image to approximately match the first image by applying a mesh to the second image and moving vertices of the mesh to warp the second image. The difference between the warped second image and the unwarped first image are determined. | 01-17-2013 |

20140086494 | METHOD FOR REGISTERING AT LEAST ONE PART OF A FIRST AND SECOND IMAGE USING A COLLINEATION WARPING FUNCTION - The invention is related to a method for registering at least one part of a first image and of a second image, including the steps of providing a first image of the real environment and a coordinate system associated to the first image, a second image of the real environment, and measurements of orientation and/or distance of a capturing device with respect to the real environment while capturing the second image. A collineation warping function is then determined from the measurements associated to at least one part of the second image. The method further includes the steps of transforming the at least one part of the second image by applying the corresponding determined collineation warping function, determining a second warping function for registering the transformed at least one part of the second image and the at least one part of the first image by means of an image registration method, and registering the at least one part of the second image and first image using the collineation warping function and the second warping function. | 03-27-2014 |
20140270544 | Image Editing Method and System - In one embodiment, an image editing method, comprising: defining a region as a foreground object and a remaining region as background; applying an image warping process to a predefined object region, wherein a distortion to at least the remaining region occurs based on the image warping process applied to the predefined object region; responsive to the image warping process, determining a region to be repaired, the region to be repaired comprising a missing background; repairing the region to be repaired based on an inpainting process; and generating a repaired image by combining the predefined object region to which the image warping process is applied, one or more non-distorted regions, and the repaired region. | 09-18-2014 |
20140321757 | EXTENDING PREDICTION MODES AND PERFORMANCE OF VIDEO CODECS - A video frame compression system includes a rendering engine that provides a current video frame and current additional rendering information. Additionally, the video frame compression system includes a warping engine that generates a warped video frame, wherein the warped video frame is a transformation of a previous video frame that is based on the current additional rendering information. Further, the video frame compression system includes a video encoder that compresses the current video frame by using the warped video frame as a reference frame and separately compresses the current additional rendering information. Still further, the video frame compression system includes a packetizer that provides main and auxiliary data streams corresponding to the compressed current video frame and the compressed current additional rendering information, respectively. A video frame decompression system and methods of video frame compression and decompression are also provided. | 10-30-2014 |
20140321758 | IMAGE CONCEALING VIA EFFICIENT FEATURE SELECTION - A novel technique for unsupervised feature selection is disclosed. The disclosed methods include automatically selecting a subset of a feature of an image. Additionally, the selection of the subset of features may be incorporated with a congealing algorithm, such as a least-square-based congealing algorithm. By selecting a subset of the feature representation of an image, redundant and/or irrelevant features may be reduced or removed, and the efficiency and accuracy of least-square-based congealing may be improved. | 10-30-2014 |
