Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of generating a content signature of a textual communication using OCR and text processing. The textual communication is rendered. Text is extracted from the rendered textual communication using OCR. Customization is removed from the text to provide a templatized version of the rendered textual communication that includes de-customized text. The de-customized text is parsed into tokens. Each token includes a respective subset of a plurality of characters. The tokens are converted into respective numbers. Each number is processed using fuzzy hash functions to provide respective hash values associated with the respective token. Representative hash values are selected for the respective fuzzy hash functions by selecting each representative hash value from the hash values that are processed using the respective fuzzy hash function.

Abstract: A machine vision system is directed toward a tire building drum in a tire building machine. The machine vision system produces a three dimensional image of a green rubber tread applied to the tire building drum. A center of the green rubber tread is identified in the three dimensional image by performing at least one convolution with at least one profile trace of the green rubber tread and a predefined tread profile. A difference is identified between the center of the green rubber tread and a center of the tire building drum. The difference is used as a tread position feedback error to position an application of a next green rubber tread onto the tire building drum from a tread conveyor.
