Download or read book Document Mosaicing written by Fouad Sabry and published by One Billion Knowledgeable. This book was released on 2024-05-05 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Document Mosaicing Document mosaicing is a process that stitches multiple, overlapping snapshot images of a document together to produce one large, high resolution composite. The document is slid under a stationary, over-the-desk camera by hand until all parts of the document are snapshotted by the camera's field of view. As the document slid under the camera, all motion of the document is coarsely tracked by the vision system. The document is periodically snapshotted such that the successive snapshots are overlap by about 50%. The system then finds the overlapped pairs and stitches them together repeatedly until all pairs are stitched together as one piece of document. How you will benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Document Mosaicing Chapter 2: Image Stitching Chapter 3: Demosaicing Chapter 4: Document Layout Analysis Chapter 5: Rolling Shutter Chapter 6: Camera Auto-Calibration Chapter 7: Computer Stereo Vision Chapter 8: Rigid Motion Segmentation Chapter 9: Image Texture Chapter 10: Image Rectification (II) Answering the public top questions about document mosaicing. (III) Real world examples for the usage of document mosaicing in many fields. Who this book is for Professionals, undergraduate and graduate students, enthusiasts, hobbyists, and those who want to go beyond basic knowledge or information for any kind of Document Mosaicing.

Download or read book Efficient 3D Scene Modeling and Mosaicing written by Tudor Nicosevici and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-02-19 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes a complete pipeline for monocular (single camera) based 3D mapping of terrestrial and underwater environments. The aim is to provide a solution to large-scale scene modeling that is both accurate and efficient. To this end, we have developed a novel Structure from Motion algorithm that increases mapping accuracy by registering camera views directly with the maps. The camera registration uses a dual approach that adapts to the type of environment being mapped. In order to further increase the accuracy of the resulting maps, a new method is presented, allowing detection of images corresponding to the same scene region (crossovers). Crossovers then used in conjunction with global alignment methods in order to highly reduce estimation errors, especially when mapping large areas. Our method is based on Visual Bag of Words paradigm (BoW), offering a more efficient and simpler solution by eliminating the training stage, generally required by state of the art BoW algorithms. Also, towards developing methods for efficient mapping of large areas (especially with costs related to map storage, transmission and rendering in mind), an online 3D model simplification algorithm is proposed. This new algorithm presents the advantage of selecting only those vertices that are geometrically representative for the scene.
Download or read book Image Blending Techniques and their Application in Underwater Mosaicing written by Ricard Prados and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-04-05 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work proposes strategies and solutions to tackle the problem of building photo-mosaics of very large underwater optical surveys, presenting contributions to the image preprocessing, enhancing and blending steps, and resulting in an improved visual quality of the final photo-mosaic. The text opens with a comprehensive review of mosaicing and blending techniques, before proposing an approach for large scale underwater image mosaicing and blending. In the image preprocessing step, a depth dependent illumination compensation function is used to solve the non-uniform illumination appearance due to light attenuation. For image enhancement, the image contrast variability due to different acquisition altitudes is compensated using an adaptive contrast enhancement based on an image quality reference selected through a total variation criterion. In the blending step, a graph-cut strategy operating in the image gradient domain over the overlapping regions is suggested. Next, an out-of-core blending strategy for very large scale photo-mosaics is presented and tested on real data. Finally, the performance of the approach is evaluated and compared with other approaches.
Download or read book Pharmaceutical Patents in Europe written by Bengt Domeij and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2000-03-15 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pharmaceutical industry and patent legislation are inextricably linked. Pharmaceutical companies could not exist without some guarantee that they can recoup the cost of developing a new product. European patent law offers this opportunity, as it allows companies to exclude competition for a specific product for a fixed time scale. In "Pharmaceutical Patents in Europe" the current legal patent situation is examined by a detailed analysis of case law from the European Patent Office (EPO), the international body created with the signing of the European Patent Convention (EPC). Aspects of European patent law not primarily regulated in the EPC, for example Supplementary Protection Certificates and infringement matters, are examined in the setting provided by EC law and domestic laws of European states. This book is written for the reader who understands the main characteristics of patent law and is looking for a practitioner's text on the European pharmaceutical patent law scene. Moreover, the author's remarks can help all readers to look at the field with fresh eyes.
Download or read book Handbook of Image Engineering written by Yu-Jin Zhang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 1963 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Image techniques have been developed and implemented for various purposes, and image engineering (IE) is a rapidly evolving, integrated discipline comprising the study of all the different branches of image techniques, and encompassing mathematics, physics, biology, physiology, psychology, electrical engineering, computer science and automation. Advances in the field are also closely related to the development of telecommunications, biomedical engineering, remote sensing, surveying and mapping, as well as document processing and industrial applications. IE involves three related and partially overlapping groups of image techniques: image processing (IP) (in its narrow sense), image analysis (IA) and image understanding (IU), and the integration of these three groups makes the discipline of image engineering an important part of the modern information era. This is the first handbook on image engineering, and provides a well-structured, comprehensive overview of this new discipline. It also offers detailed information on the various image techniques. It is a valuable reference resource for R&D professional and undergraduate students involved in image-related activities.
