Publication number: 20140270350Abstract: A computer implemented method for localization of an object, such as a license plate, in an input image includes generating a task-dependent representation of the input image based on relevance scores for the object to be localized. The relevance scores are output by a classifier for a plurality of locations in the input image, such as patches. The classifier is trained on patches extracted from training images and their respective relevance labels. One or more similar images are identified from a set of images, based on a comparison of the task-dependent representation of the input image and task-dependent representations of images in the set of images. A location of the object in the input image is identified based on object location annotations for the similar images.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: XEROX CORPORATIONInventors: Jose Antonio Rodriguez-Serrano, Diane Larlus-Larrondo

Publication number: 20140219563Abstract: A system and method for comparing a text image and a character string are provided. The method includes embedding a character string into a vectorial space by extracting a set of features from the character string and generating a character string representation based on the extracted features, such as a spatial pyramid bag of characters (SPBOC) representation. A text image is embedded into a vectorial space by extracting a set of features from the text image and generating a text image representation based on the text image extracted features.

Publication number: 20140056520Abstract: A system and method are provided for segmenting an image. The method includes computing an image signature for an input image. One or more similar images are identified from a first set of images, based on the image signature of the input image and image signatures of images in the first set of images. The similar image or images are used to define a cropped region of the input image and a second image signature is computed, this time for the cropped region. One or more similar images are identified from a second set of images, based on the cropped image signature and the image signatures of images in the second set of images. The input image is segmented based on a segmentation map of at least one of the similar images identified in the second set of images.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2012Publication date: February 27, 2014Applicant: Xerox CorporationInventor: José Antonio Rodriguez Serrano

Patent number: 8582819Abstract: In response to determining that a target vehicle is at large, identification information associated with the target vehicle's license plate may be retrieved and used to generate one or more synthetic license plate images. The synthetic license plate images may be subjected to one or more transformation to cause them to resemble authentic license plate image captures and/or to mimic authentic license plate image captures from existing and operational ALPR system cameras. Target signatures may then be calculated from the synthetic license plate images. Upon capturing an authentic license plate image using an ALPR system camera, a signature of the authentic license plate image may be calculated. If a match is found between the signature of the authentic license plate image and a target signature, law enforcement may be alerted that the target vehicle was detected at the location of the ALPR system camera.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2012Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Jose Antonio Rodriguez Serrano, Aaron Michael Burrry, Harsimrat Sandhawalia, Craig Saunders, Vladimir Kozitsky, Abu Islam, John Deppen, Raja Bala

Publication number: 20130290222Abstract: An instance-level retrieval method and system are provided. A representation of a query image is embedded in a multi-dimensional space using a learned projection. The projection is learned using category-labeled training data to optimize a classification rate on the training data. The joint learning of the projection and the classifiers improves the computation of similarity/distance between images by embedding them in a subspace where the similarity computation outputs more accurate results. An input query image can thus be used to retrieve similar instances in a database by computing the comparison measure in the embedding space.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2012Publication date: October 31, 2013Applicant: Xerox CorporationInventors: Albert Gordo, José Antonio Rodriguez Serrano, Florent Perronnin

Publication number: 20130182909Abstract: A system and a method for image segmentation use segmentation maps of one or more similar images as a basis for the segmentation. The method includes generating an image signature for an input image to be segmented and identifying at least one similar image from a set of images, based on the image signature of the input image and image signatures of images in the set of images. The similarity may be computed after first projecting the image signatures into a feature space where similarity is more likely to agree with segmentation map similarity. The input image is segmented, based on the segmentation map of one or more of the at least one identified similar images.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2012Publication date: July 18, 2013Applicant: Xerox CorporationInventor: José Antonio Rodriguez-Serrano

Publication number: 20130060786Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for conducting text-based searches of images using a visual signature associated with each image. A measure of string similarity between a query and an annotation associated with each entry in a first database is computed, and based upon the computed string similarity measures, a set of entries from the first database is selected. Each entry of the first database also includes an associated visual signature. At least one entry is then retrieved from a second database based upon a measure of visual similarity between a visual signature of each of the entries in the second database and the visual signatures of the entries in the selected set. Information corresponding to the retrieved entries from the second database is then generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2011Publication date: March 7, 2013Applicant: Xerox CorporationInventors: José Antonio Rodriguez Serrano, Florent Perronnin, Craig John Saunders
