  • Patent number: 9294809
    Abstract: Techniques are described to employ image recognition techniques to content. In an implementation, one or more images are identified in content using a signature derived from the one or more images. Metadata associated with the content is then supplemented based on the identified one or more images.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 28, 2014
    Date of Patent: March 22, 2016

  • Patent number: 5113494
    Abstract: Apparatus for a pipe-lined raster image processor (RIP), that is capable of driving a printing engine at a high rate illustratively for use in an image management system. Specifically, this RIP contains a bus and a number of separate image processing components such as a scaler, a decompressor and various interface circuits. Each of these components is connected to the bus and is capable of undertaking a respective image processing task substantially in parallel with those undertaken by other of these image processing components. In addition, a arbiter is also connected to the bus. The arbiter, typically a microcomputer system, receives a request, from any one of the image processing components (the source component), for service, from another one of the image processing components (the destination component).
