20130190086 | Method and device for identifying and extracting images of multiple users, and for recognizing user gestures - A method identifies and extracts images of one or more users. The method obtains an array of pixel values that constitutes a scene image and a corresponding array of depth values that constitutes a depth map. The depth map and the image are registered. The method obtains an array containing the 3D positions of the pixel value points in real-world coordinates by coordinate transformation of the depth map and image. The method then clusters the points into groups according to their relative positions so each group contains points in the same region of space and corresponds to a user location. The method defines individual volumes of interest around each user location. The method selects points from the array of 3D positions located in the volumes of interest to obtain segmentation masks for each user. The segmentation masks are then applied to the image to extract images of the users. | 07-25-2013 |
20150286888 | Optical Character Recognition System Using Multiple Images and Method of Use - Disclosed is an improved OCR system wherein the same can be utilized for capturing and analyzing multiple images of a document to increase the efficiency and accuracy of digitizing printed texts on the document. Captured images are merged into a single set of character recognition results via a recognition method from multiple images, which include early fusion, late fusion, and hybrid fusion embodiments. The end product from each of the embodiments provides text and metadata that include recognized words. In late and hybrid fusion, words having confidence scores above a predetermined threshold are assembled together to form paragraphs to reconstruct a digital version of the document. In this way, the present invention utilizes multiple images that can be combined to aggregate information and achieve high accuracy when scanning and digitizing printed texts. | 10-08-2015 |

20080243507 | NATURAL ERROR HANDLING IN SPEECH RECOGNITION - A user interface, and associated techniques, that permit a fast and efficient way of correcting speech recognition errors, or of diminishing their impact. The user may correct mistakes in a natural way, essentially by repeating the information that was incorrectly recognized previously. Such a mechanism closely approximates what human-to-human dialogue would be in similar circumstances. Such a system fully takes advantage of all the information provided by the user, and on its own estimates the quality of the recognition in order to determine the correct sequence of words in the fewest number of steps. | 10-02-2008 |

20080312921 | SPEECH RECOGNITION UTILIZING MULTITUDE OF SPEECH FEATURES - In a speech recognition system, the combination of a log-linear model with a multitude of speech features is provided to recognize unknown speech utterances. The speech recognition system models the posterior probability of linguistic units relevant to speech recognition using a log-linear model. The posterior model captures the probability of the linguistic unit given the observed speech features and the parameters of the posterior model. The posterior model may be determined using the probability of the word sequence hypotheses given a multitude of speech features. Log-linear models are used with features derived from sparse or incomplete data. The speech features that are utilized may include asynchronous, overlapping, and statistically non-independent speech features. Not all features used in training need to appear in testing/recognition. | 12-18-2008 |
