Abstract: A system for enhancing security printing includes a segmentation system, a secure database in operative communication with the segmentation system, a secure registry in selective operative communication with the segmentation system, and an analysis system in operative communication with the segmentation system and the secure database, and in selective operative communication with the secure registry. The segmentation system performs zoning analysis on a scanned image to identifying a list of regions in the image. The secure database stores at least one of i) a template, or ii) prior zoning output specification. The secure registry stores region of interest information and information pertaining to strategies for identifying a region of interest. The analysis system identifies the region of interest utilizing at least one of the secure database or the secure registry.

Abstract: Embodiments for determining a delay are disclosed.

Abstract: A method for enhancing security printing includes generating data for a region of interest (14), where the data includes information for at least one of locating or analyzing the region of interest (14) using a secure registry (18). The method further includes encrypting a deterrent (12) with the data, and printing the deterrent (12) and the region of interest (14) on an object (10).

Abstract: A method for testing image pipelines includes transforming an untransformed captured image multiple times using a plurality of pipelines, thereby generating a plurality of transformed images, and comparing a functional set of metrics associated with each of the plurality of transformed images with a functional set of metrics associated with each image in a ground truth set. From the comparison, a determination is made as to which of the plurality of pipelines generates a transformed image that is functionally closest to an image in the ground truth set.

Abstract: A variable data addition method and system are disclosed herein. The method includes generating an original image, and defining at least one sub-section of the original image to transform individually. A reversible transformation is applied to the defined at least one sub-section, thereby altering the original image to form an altered image that is non-readable until an inverse of the reversible transformation is applied to the altered image.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to associate a first wireless device and a second wireless device by storing a random identifier on a first wireless device and on a physical key and by moving the random identifier on the physical key to a second wireless device.

Abstract: Real-time data is transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver. For each frame of the real-time data, portions of the frame are transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver within a time period allocated for transmission of the frame, in order from one or more higher-priority portions of the frame to one or more lower-priority portions of the frame, until the time period allocated for transmission of the frame has expired. The transmitter waits for feedback from the receiver after transmitting each portion of each frame. Not all of the portions of each frame may be transmitted during the time period allocated for transmission of the frame.

Abstract: A method and apparatus analyze a compressed image code stream to determine logical boundaries of segments and parse the data stream into packets, wherein the packets are configured to reduce a number of partial logical segments in individual packets

Abstract: One or more streams of image frames are filtered and restored using filtering and restoration patterns, respectively.
