Patent number: 8600169Abstract: In a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an automated, computerized method is provided for processing an image. According to a feature of the present invention, the method comprises the steps of providing an image file depicting an image, in a computer memory, assembling a feature vector for the image file, the feature vector containing information regarding a likelihood that a selected pair of regions of the image file are of a same intrinsic characteristic, providing a classifier derived from a computer learning technique, computing a classification score for the selected pair of regions of the image file, as a function of the feature vector and the classifier and classifying the regions as being of the same intrinsic characteristic, as a function of the classification score.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2012Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Tandent Vision Science, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Neil Stein, Bartholomeus Christianus Leonardus Nabbe, Casey Arthur Smith, James Andrew Bagnell, David Allen Tolliver

Patent number: 8139850Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an automated, computerized method is provided for processing an image. According to a feature of the present invention, the method comprises the steps of providing an image, organizing spatio-spectral information for the image in a matrix equation expressed by: [A][x]=[b], wherein [A] expresses values determined by a constraining relationship imposed upon the spatio-spectral information, [b] expresses recorded information for the image, and [x] expresses an unknown material/illumination component of the image, and utilizing the matrix equation in an image segregation operation.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2008Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Inventors: Bruce Allen Maxwell, Casey Arthur Smith, David Allen Tolliver, James Andrew Bagnell, Andrew Neil Stein, Iljung Samuel Kwak, Kristin Jean Dana, Steven Joseph Bushell, Timothy King Rodgers, Jr., Bartholomeus Christianus Leonardus Nabbe, Milan Diebel, Richard Mark Friedhoff
