| 20090034805 | Using Relevance Feedback In Face Recognition - Images are searched to locate faces that are the same as a query face. Images that include a face that is the same as the query face may be presented to a user as search result images. Images also may be sorted by the faces included in the images and presented to the user as sorted search result images. The user may provide explicit or implicit feedback regarding the search result images. Additional feedback may be inferred regarding the search result images based on the user-provided feedback, and the results may be updated based on the user-provided and inferred feedback. | 02-05-2009 |

Images that include a face that is the same as the query face may be presented to a user as search result images. Images also may be sorted by the faces included in the images and presented to the user as sorted search result images. The user may provide explicit or implicit feedback regarding the search result images. Additional feedback may be inferred regarding the search result images based on the user-provided feedback, and the results may be updated based on the user-provided and inferred feedback. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20110129145 | DETECTING FACIAL SIMILARITY BASED ON HUMAN PERCEPTION OF FACIAL SIMILARITY - Similar faces may be determined within images based on human perception of facial similarity. The user may provide an image including a query face to which the user wishes to find faces that are similar. Similar faces may be determined based on similarity information. Similarity information may be generated from information related to a human perception of facial similarity. Images that include faces determined to be similar, based on the similarity information, may be provided to the user as search result images. The user then may provide feedback to indicate the user's perception of similarity between the query face and the search result images. | 06-02-2011 |

| 20090290791 | AUTOMATIC TRACKING OF PEOPLE AND BODIES IN VIDEO - A facial detection module detects faces in any frame in a video by applying at least two rectangles between the eyes of a face and other regions and calculating a difference in intensity between those regions. The intensities are used to generate face detections. A tracking module predicts the location of faces in frames across time and compares the predicted location to the face detections. The face detection that is closest to the predicted location is selected, provided that it exceeds a threshold of overlap with the predicted location. A tracking module determines shot boundaries by comparing the similarities between frames. A clustering module groups the face tracks in the shots, as demarcated by the shot boundaries, for individuals within the video. A body detection module attaches a body outline to each of the face tracks to increase the clickable area for the individuals. | 11-26-2009 |

| 20110232489 | METHOD TO DECREASE DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS IN SOLUTIONS THAT ABSORB ACIDIC GASES SUCH AS CARBON DIOXIDE AND THE LIKE IN THE PRESENCE OF OXYGEN - An amine solvent solution that is useful in absorbing acid gases from a liquid or gas feed stream may have an amine additive added thereto. Additionally or alternatively, the amine additive may be added to a liquid or gas feed stream. The addition of the amine additive decreases the presence of amine-derived contaminants and/or degradation of amine in the amine solvent solution. As such, the amine solvent solution is available for effective reuse in treating the liquid or gas feed stream and there may be a decrease in the corrosion within an amine treating system. | 09-29-2011 |

| 20100245874 | System for distributing and controlling color reproduction at multiple sites - The system provides for controlling color reproduction of input color image data representing one or more pages or page constituents in a network having nodes (or sites). Each one of the nodes comprises at least one rendering device. The system distributes the input color image data from one of the nodes to other nodes, and provides a data structure (virtual proof) in the network. This data structure has components shared by the nodes and other components present only at each node. Next, the system has means for providing color calibration data at each node characterizing output colors (colorants) of the rendering device of the node, and means for producing at each node, responsive to the color calibration data of the rendering device of the node, information for transforming the input color image data into output color image data at the rendering device of the node. The information is then stored in the data structure in different ones of the shared and other components. Means are provided in the system for transforming at each node the input color image data into output color image data for the rendering device of the node responsive to the information in the data structure. The rendering device of each node renders a color reproduction of the page constituents responsive to the output color image data, wherein colors displayed in the reproduction at the rendering device of each node appear substantially the same within the output colors attainable by the rendering devices. The system further has means for verifying at each node that the information for the rendering device of the node properly transformed the input color image data into the output color image data, and means for revising the information stored in the data structure at the node responsive to results of the verifying means. Shared components of the data structure may also store color preferences selected by a user. The information producing means of the system may further operate responsive to both the color calibration data and the color preferences. The rendering devices in the system can provide color reproductions having three or four colorants, and may provide more than four output colors (color inks). | 09-30-2010 |

| 20100182335 | Methods and apparatus for calibrating a color display - Improved methods are provided for calibrating color on a color display coupled to a computer, which are useful for obtaining calibrated data in a virtual proof network for enabling different color devices to render consistent color. Methods involve user interactions with screens on the display to set color display parameters. An apparatus is also provided for calibrating a sensor which may be used for measuring color of a display in one or more of these methods. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100231728 | System for distributing and controlling color reproduction at multiple sites - In the color imaging system, multiple rendering devices are provided at different nodes along a network. Each rendering device has a color measurement instrument for calibrating the color presented by the rendering device. A rendering device may represent a color display in which a member surrounds the outer periphery of the screen of the display and a color measuring instrument is coupled to the first member. The color measuring instrument includes a sensor spaced from the screen at an angle with respect to the screen for receiving light from an area of the screen. A rendering device may be a printer in which the measuring of color samples on a sheet rendered by the printer is provided by a sensor coupled to a transport mechanism which moves the sensor and sheet relative to each other, where the sensor provides light from the sample to a spectrograph. The color measuring instruments provide for non-contact measurements of color samples either displayed on a color display, or printed on a sheet, and are self-calibrating by the use of calibration references in the instrument. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100289835 | Color calibration of color image rendering devices - Color calibration of color image rendering devices, such as large color displays, which operate by either projection or emission of images, utilize internal color measurement instrument or external color measurement modules locatable on a wall or speaker. A dual use camera is provided for a portable or laptop computer, or a cellular phone, handset, personal digital assistant or other handheld device with a digital camera, in which one of the camera or a display is movable with respect to the other to enable the camera in a first mode to capture images of the display for enabling calibration of the display, and in a second mode for capturing image other than of the display. The displays may represent rendering devices for enabling virtual proofing in a network, or may be part of stand-alone systems and apparatuses for color calibration. Improved calibration is also provided for sensing and correcting for non-uniformities of rendering devices, such as color displays, printer, presses, or other color image rendering device. | 11-18-2010 |
