  • Feature Resolutions Sensitivity for Counterfeit Determinations
    Publication number: 20150302542
    Abstract: A counterfeit identification performance attribute (CIPA) sensitivity to changes in resolution of the image for features of an image is determined (102). The CIPA sensitivity for the features is used to choose at least one feature to determine whether the image on a sample is a counterfeit (106).

  • Deploying a document classification system
    Patent number: 7734554
    Abstract: A system and method for deploying a document classification system include deploying a document classification system with a first classification engine configuration, and thereafter, automatically redeploying the document classification system with a second classification engine configuration in response to a cost function.

  • Document classifiers and methods for document classification
    Patent number: 7499591
    Abstract: A method of classifying a document includes providing a plurality of classifier engines and classifying the document using output from one or more of the classifier engines based on a comparison of one or more metrics for each classifier engine. In another embodiment, a method of classifying a document comprises providing a plurality of classifier engines and determining one or more metrics for each classifier engine. These metrics are used to determine how to use the classifier engines to classify the document, and the document is classified accordingly. A further embodiment includes a document classifier utilizing a plurality of classifier engines. In yet another embodiment, a computer-readable medium contains instructions for controlling a computer system to perform a method of using a plurality of classifier engines to classify a document.

  • Method and apparatus for obtaining multiple views from one scan window
    Patent number: 5930410
    Abstract: A computer operable method for implementing multiple views from a single scan window following a scanning process of an image scanner, the method involves designating the number of views to be obtained from the single scan window; designating the data type and other parameters for each of the number of designated views to be obtained from the single scan window; designating the number of views to be sent from the image scanner to a host computer; once a window has been scanned one or more times, generating a data signal representative of each of the number of views designated to be obtained from the single scan window; and sending each of the data signals representative of the number of views designated to be send from the image scanner to the host computer for further processing. The computer operable method may be implemented in scanner command language (SCL).
