  • Patent number: 11436452
    Abstract: A method for processing video data comprising a plurality of image frames, the method comprising: obtaining a forward model and a backward model of the plurality of image frames; processing the forward model and the backward model to propagate at least one label in the region or patch to at least one other image frame of the video sequence, using a probabilistic method for estimating the label in the at least one other image frame in forward and backward correspondences, wherein, during the processing, a pixel having a most likely label with a probability lower than a threshold value is assigned a predetermined generic label; and generating a labelled result for any given image frame by applying an image label difference, based on label uncertainty between the forward and backward correspondences, to the given image frame.

  • Publication number: 20170165955
    Abstract: A printing unit has a printing form cylinder, an impression cylinder opposite the printing form cylinder and at least one substrate carrier apparatus with which a printing substrate is moved through between the printing form cylinder and the impression cylinder, wherein the substrate is printed in a printing region between the two cylinders. The substrate carrier apparatus is moved linearly during a uniform rotation of the two cylinders along a linearly extending track, limited in length by a longitudinal extension of the printing unit. The substrate carrier apparatus is accelerated from a resting start position to an operating speed, to be reached upon reaching the printing region, the substrate carrier apparatus is moved at least in the printing region at constant speed, and the substrate carrier apparatus is decelerated after leaving the printing region to a resting end position on the track.
