Abstract: A system for recognition of objects from ink elements on a computing device is provided. The computing device comprises a processor, a memory and at least one non-transitory computer readable medium for recognizing content under control of the processor. The at least one non-transitory computer readable medium is configured to determine a perimeter of an ink element stored in a memory of the computing device, determine a plurality of pen units for the ink element based on the determined ink element perimeter, determine at least one stroke representing a path through two or more of the pen units, and cause recognition of one or more objects represented by the ink element using the determined at least one stroke.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for use in digital note taking with handwriting input to a computing device are provided. The computing device is connected to an input device, or an input surface. A user provides input by applying pressure to or gesturing above the input surface using a finger or an instrument. The present system and method monitors the input strokes. The computing device includes a processor controlling an application for recognizing the handwriting input. The system application causes display of, on a display interface, a guide element for handwriting input and digital ink in a block layout in accordance with a layout of blocks of the handwriting input and a configuration of the computing device display interface. The guide element is displayed based on the digital ink block content and layout and typeset ink block content and layout formed from the recognized handwriting input.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for segmenting a source image containing an object on a background. The invention produces a possibly binary representation according to which each pixel is associated with an attribute indicating that the pixel describes the object or the background. The segmentation of the image is based on a sub-process to estimate the respective probabilities of describing the object rather than the background of pixels of interest alone—i.e. those located in the proximity of transitions between pixel regions describing the object and those describing the background. A representation RV is associated with said image to indicate said probabilities.
