Patent number: 9767381Abstract: A system and method provide object localization in a query image based on a global representation of the image generated with a model derived from a convolutional neural network. Representations of annotated images and a query image are each generated based on activations output by a layer of the model which precedes the fully-connected layers of the neural network. A similarity is computed between the query image representation and each of the annotated image representations to identify a subset of the annotated images having the highest computed similarity. Object location information from at least one of the subset of annotated images is transferred to the query image and information is output, based on the transferred object location information.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2015Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: XEROX CORPORATIONInventors: José A. Rodríguez-Serrano, Albert Gordo Soldevila

Patent number: 8731300Abstract: A wordspotting system and method are disclosed for processing candidate word images extracted from handwritten documents. In response to a user inputting a selected query string, such as a word to be searched in one or more of the handwritten documents, the system automatically generates at least one computer-generated image based on the query string in a selected font or fonts. A model is trained on the computer-generated image(s) and is thereafter used in the scoring the candidate handwritten word images. The candidate or candidates with the highest scores and/or documents containing them can be presented to the user, tagged, or otherwise processed differently from other candidate word images/documents.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2012Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Jose A. Rodriguez Serrano, Florent C. Perronnin

Patent number: 8340428Abstract: A word spotting system includes a semi-continuous hidden Markov model configured to model a handwritten word of interest. A writing segments extractor is configured to extract writing segments generally comprising images of handwritten character strings from a received document image. A word model adaptation processor is configured to adjust a shared pool of Gaussians of the semi-continuous hidden Markov model respective to the extracted writing segments. A modeler is configured to model extracted writing segments using the semi-continuous hidden Markov model with the adjusted shared pool of Gaussians to identify whether each modeled writing segment matches the handwritten word of interest.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2008Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Florent C.

Patent number: 8027540Abstract: A method begins by receiving an image of a handwritten item. The method performs a word segmentation process on the image to produce a sub-image and extracts a set of feature vectors from the sub-image. Then, the method performs an asymmetric approach that computes a first log-likelihood score of the feature vectors using a word model having a first structure (such as one comprising a Hidden Markov Model (HMM)) and also computes a second log-likelihood score of the feature vectors using a background model having a second structure (such as one comprising a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM)). The method computes a final score for the sub-image by subtracting the second log-likelihood score from the first log-likelihood score. The final score is then compared against a predetermined standard to produce a word identification result and the word identification result is output.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2008Date of Patent: September 27, 2011Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Jose A.

Patent number: 8014603Abstract: A method of characterizing a word image includes traversing the word image stepwise with a window to provide a plurality of window images. For each of the plurality of window images, the method includes splitting the window image to provide a plurality of cells. A feature, such as a gradient direction histogram, is extracted from each of the plurality of cells. The word image can then be characterized based on the features extracted from the plurality of window images.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2007Date of Patent: September 6, 2011Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: José A.
