  • Patent number: 11094070
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a visual multi-object tracking based on multi-Bernoulli filter with YOLOv3 detection, belonging to the fields of machine vision and intelligent information processing. The disclosure introduces a YOLOv3 detection technology under a multiple Bernoulli filtering framework. Objects are described by using anti-interference convolution features, and detection results and tracking results are interactively fused to realize accurate estimation of video multi-object states with unknown and time-varying number. In a tracking process, matched detection boxes are combined with object tracks and object templates to determine new objects and re-recognize occluded objects in real time. Meanwhile, under the consideration of identity information of detected objects and estimated objects, identity recognition and track tracking of the objects are realized, so that the tracking accuracy of the occluded objects can be effectively improved, and track fragments are reduced.

  • Publication number: 20190322419
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a packing box, which includes: a box body; a solar cell module in the box body; a battery in the box body; a function module in the box body; and a solar controller. The solar controller is connected with the solar cell module, the battery and the function module, respectively, and is used to output electrical energy converted by the solar cell module to the battery and control the battery to supply power to the function module. The box body includes a case body with an end provided with an opening, and a box cover that covers and seals the opening. The box cover includes a power generation cover and a protection cover. The protection cover is located at an outside of the power generation cover and is transparent. The solar cell module is disposed at the power generation cover.

  • Patent number: 7224489
    Abstract: Characteristics of text or text components or features are considered when selecting halftoning screens. For example, an italic slant angle of text is recognized and used to select or generate a compatible halftone screen oriented at the same angle. A screen frequency may be selected based on a thickness of a text component. Descriptive tags associated with text or text components facilitate screen selection. Tags are assigned based on font descriptions included in a document during authoring. Alternatively, tags are assigned based on the results of document segmentation and character recognition techniques. An image processing system operative to consider characteristics of text or text components when selecting halftone screens includes a text component characteristic recognizer, a halftone screen selector and a halftoner. Optionally a print engine is also included. In a xerographic environment the print engine includes a xerographic printer.

  • Publication number: 20060023258
    Abstract: A method for minimizing boundary effects when switching between halftone screens on a scanline, includes selecting a first halftone screen having a first fundamental frequency and a first angle for printing pixels of a first type; and selecting a second halftone screen having a second fundamental frequency and a second angle for printing pixels of a second type, wherein the second frequency and second angle are harmonically matched to the first frequency and first angle, wherein at least one pixel of the second type is adjacent to a pixel of the first type. In one embodiment, the first and second frequencies are selected to have a substantially zero frequency beat. In another, the first and second frequencies are selected to have a substantially high frequency beat.

  • Patent number: 6985256
    Abstract: Moiré free color halftoning is achieved through the use of two dot screens and one or two line screens. The line screens may be, for example hybrid line screens. Frequency vectors associated with the screens combine to produce moiré frequency vectors representing moiré frequencies above or below the visual range. In one embodiment lines screens are used to halftone yellow and black separations and dot screens are used to halftone cyan and magenta separations. The dot screens are oriented at 15 and 75 degrees. The line screens are oriented at 45 and 135 degrees. Selected screens and screen orientations minimize screen interaction with mechanical or optical artifacts of a rendering device, thereby minimizing mechanical and optical moiré.
