    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments for determining detection certainty in a cascade classifier (100). A first sequence (101) of detection stages (102) determines whether an image (112) is associated with a rare object. Each of the stages (102) rejects the image (112) when the image (112) is unassociated with the rare object and propagates the image (112) to a next stage (102) when the image (112) is unrejected. A second sequence (103) of detection stages (104) is configured for post-processing operation. If the image (112) is unrejected in a final stage (102d) of the first sequence (101), the second sequence (103) determines whether the image (112) is associated with the rare object. Each of the stages (104) propagates the image to a next stage (104), recording a rejection when the image (112) is unassociated with the rare object. A probability that the image (112) is associated with the rare object is determined.

    Abstract: A system for coordinating image characteristics in a plurality (n) of video streams, the system includes human factor value determination component, a human factor value comparator component, a human factor modification component. The human factor modification component determines the value of at least the human perceptible factor for at least a subset of the plurality of video streams. The human factor value comparator component compares the value of the at least one human perceptible factor for each of the at least a subset of n video streams. The human factor modification component modifies the value of the human perceptible factor for the at least a subset of the n video streams to minimize the differences in the values of the human perceptible factors between the n independently captured video streams.

    Abstract: A method of pre-processing an image to identify processes for subsequent processing of the image, comprising the steps of: a) investigating portions of the image using a spatial filter; b) calculating for a first plurality of regions within a portion of the image under investigation respective metrics as a function of intensity within those regions; c) selecting combinations of regions within the portion of the image under investigation and processing them to obtain a second plurality of filter values, where the second plurality is greater than the first plurality; and d) comparing the filter values with process thresholds for subsequent processes so as to identify subsequent processes that can be skipped.

    Abstract: Detectors capable of accurately detecting and tracking moving features of such as faces within a video stream are sometimes too slow to be run in real-time. The present invention rapidly scans video footage in real-time and generates a series of preattemptive triggers indicating the frames and locations within the frames at our deserving of further investigation by a sub real-time detector. The triggers are generated by looking for peaks in a time variant measure such as the amount of symmetry within a frame or portion of a frame.

    Abstract: A method of quickly and automatically comparing a new document to a large number of previously seen documents and identifying the document type. First, provide a plurality of document type distributions, each document type distribution describes layout characteristics of an independent document type and may include a plurality of data points. Each document type distribution includes data derived from at least one basis document signature which may include data defining pixels of a low-resolution image of the independent basis document resolved to between 1 and 75 dots per inch or may include document segmentation data derived from the independent basis document. Next provide a new electronic document. Then create new document signature from the new electronic document. Next, distances between the new document signature and each of the plurality of document type distributions are calculated using an algorithm based on a Bayesian framework for a Gaussian distribution. The distances calculated may be Euclidean distances or may be Mahalanobis distances. Additionally, calculating the distances may include weighting the value given each of a plurality of data points in the document signatures based on the usefulness of each of the plurality of data points in distinguishing between the document signatures. Next, select at least one candidate document type for the new electronic document from among the independent document types described by the plurality of document type distributions. The selection of the at least one candidate document type may include selecting a preselected fixed number of the independent document types or may include selecting the independent document types described by those of the plurality of document type distributions having calculated distances that are within a preselected threshold distance of the smallest of the distances calculated. In addition, the invention provides for a program storage medium readable by computer, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform the method steps described above.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with increasing face detection speed are described. One example method includes determining whether to control a face detection process to selectively perform a face detection in a patch in a digital image. The face detection may be based, at least in part, on determining whether the patch overlaps a face previously identified by the face detection process. The example method may also include providing a signal to control the face detection process to perform the face detection upon determining that a patch overlap does not exceed an overlap factor.
