  • Patent number: 12205394
    Abstract: To make it possible to extract character information with a high accuracy even from a document image obtained by reading a document in which a logo mark or the like overlaps a character portion. By performing binarization processing for a document image obtained by reading a document, a binary image including first pixels representing a color darker than a reference and second pixels representing a color paler than the reference is generated. Then, by changing the pixel among the first pixels included in the generated binary image, whose corresponding pixel's color in the document image is different from a color of a character object within the document, to the second pixel, a binary image in which a background object that overlaps the character object in the document image is removed is generated.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining similarities between an input data set and a target data set with the data sets being vector representations of the features of a candidate potential copy and a target original. A feature extraction module receives an image of the potential copy and extracts the features of that candidate. The features of the target original may already be extracted or may be separately extracted. The resulting data sets for the candidate and the original are then passed through a decision module. The decision module determines a level of similarity between the features of the candidate and the features of the original. The output of the decision module provides an indication of this level of similarity and, depending on this level of similarity, an alert may be generated. A report module may be included to provide an explanation regarding the level of similarity.

The likelihood data are data being associated with a position and a size on the image data (10) and indicating a likelihood that a target object exists in an image region at the position with the size. The information processing apparatus (2000) computes a distribution (probability hypothesis density: PHD) of an existence likelihood of a target object with respect to a position and a size by computing the total sum of likelihood data each piece of which is generated for each partial region (12). The information processing apparatus (2000) extracts, from the PHD, partial distributions each of which relates to one target object. For each extracted partial distribution, the information processing apparatus (2000) outputs a position and a size of a target object represented by the partial distribution, based on a statistic of the partial distribution.

  • Patent number: 11895409
    Abstract: Examples are described for applying different settings for image capture to different portions of image data. For example, an image sensor can capture image data of a scene and can send the image data to an image signal processor (ISP) and a classification engine for processing. The classification engine can determine that a first object image region depicts a first category of object, and a second object image region depicts a second category of object. Different confidence regions of the image data can identify different degrees of confidence in the classifications. The ISP can generate an image by applying a different settings to the different portions of the image data. The different portions of the image data can be identified based on the object image regions and confidence regions.

  • Patent number: 11856226
    Abstract: Introduced here is a technique to create small compressed image files while preserving data quality upon decompression. Upon receiving an uncompressed data, such as an image, a video, an audio, and/or a structured data, a machine learning model identifies an object in the uncompressed data such as a house, a dog, a text, a distinct audio signal, a unique data pattern, etc. The identified object is compressed using a compression treatment optimized for the identified object. The identified object, either before or after the compression, is removed from the uncompressed data. The uncompressed data with the identified object removed is compressed using a standard compression treatment.

  • Patent number: 11763430
    Abstract: In implementations of correcting dust and scratch artifacts in digital images, an artifact correction system receives a digital image that depicts a scene and includes a dust or scratch artifact. The artifact correction system generates, with a generator of a generative adversarial neural network (GAN), a feature map from the digital image that represents features of the dust or scratch artifact and features of the scene. A training system can train the generator adversarially to reduce visibility of dust and scratch artifacts in digital images against a discriminator, and train the discriminator to distinguish between reconstructed digital images generated by the generator and real-world digital images. The artifact correction system generates, from the feature map and with the generator, a reconstructed digital image that depicts the scene of the digital image and reduces visibility of the dust or scratch artifact of the digital image.

  • Patent number: 11756319
    Abstract: Systems and methods of improving alignment in dense prediction neural networks are disclosed. A method includes identifying, at a computing system, an input data set and a label data set with one or more first parts of the input data set corresponding to a label. The computing system processes the input data set using a neural network to generate a predicted label data set that identifies one or more second parts of the input data set predicted to correspond to the label. The computing system determines an alignment result using the predicted label data set and the label data set and a transformation of the one or more first parts, including a shift, rotation, scaling, and/or deformation, based on the alignment result. The computing system computes a loss score using the transformation, label data and the predicted label data set and updates the neural network based on the loss score.
