Abstract: A data storage system including at least one storage controller having a first color policy and operative to store data onto a first data storage unit at a primary site as part of a current color of the primary site, at least one storage controller having a second color policy and operative to store data onto a second data storage unit at the primary site as part of the current color, and a color control node operative to provide each of the controllers with new color information while maintaining the integrity of dependent writes across color boundaries.

Abstract: A method for binarizing a gray-level input image (20) including a plurality of pixels having respective gray-level values. A lower threshold and an upper threshold are determined. A first binary value is assigned to the pixels in the gray-level image having gray-level values above the upper threshold (64) , and a second binary value is assigned to the pixels in the gray-level image having gray-level values below the lower threshold (62). The pixels in an intermediate group having gray-level values between the lower and upper thresholds are processed so as to determine optimal assignments of the pixel s in the intermediate group to the first and second binary values (66).

Abstract: Apparatus and a method is described for correcting a set of stored digital representations of numbers having an estimable error probability distribution where there is at least one known arithmetic relation between the numbers which can be expressed as a sum, difference or equality. The invention finds particular, but not exclusive, application to the correction of optical character recognition (OCR) results. Hidden Markov Model optimization logic is employed for finding the most likely path through a set of states in accordance with probability functions recording the likelihood of transitions between the states giving rise to a set of event-related observations. The system is arranged so that the states are possible accumulated totals generated by adding or subtracting ones of the numbers to or from an initial accumulated total, addition or subtraction of the numbers to or from an accumulated total or equality of an accumulated total with the numbers are the events causing transitions from state to state, the digital representations are the event-related observations, and the error probability distributions are the probability functions, the apparatus comprising means to correct the digital representations in accordance with events giving rise to the most likely path through the states.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for recognizing the type of an electronically stored image of a document. The method is composed by two parts: form signature computation, and signature matching. For form acquisition, signatures of forms are computed and stored in a template data base. For recognition, the signature of the input form is computed, and the best match between it and the signatures in the template data base is found. The input form is then considered to be the same as the form from which the best matching signature was computed.

Abstract: Image processing apparatus is disclosed for locating labels on images of parcels comprising: means to generate and store in digital form an image of the parcel comprising pixels arranged in rows and columns; classification logic for classifying each pixel as either a label pixel, a background pixel or neither, based on the pixel colour; segmentation logic for reclassifying each pixel as either label or background based on its original classification and the classification of pixels in its neighbourhood; and identification logic for identifying the boundaries of regions in which all pixels are classified as label pixels.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting faults in a system. The method comprising maintaining diagnostic history for one or more system components; receiving system information about operational state and relational interaction among system components; determining if one or more system components are to be examined, in response to performing an analysis of the diagnostic history, wherein the analysis is performed to determine if the diagnostic history includes any information that may indicate that certain system components or combinations of components are suspected of causing a problem detected in the system, wherein the diagnostic history is maintained based on an at least one examination performed on said one or more components when said one or more components were installed in a system other than the system in which the problem is detected.

Abstract: A method for compression of an input image that includes a plurality of pixels having respective input pixel values. The method includes quantizing the input pixel values so as to generate respective quantized pixel values, and generating a quantized image by substituting the quantized pixel values for the respective input pixel values in the input image. The input pixel values in the input image are reordered so as to generate a reordered image in which the input pixel values are grouped by their respective quantized values. The quantized image and the reordered image are compressed so as to generate a compressed output image file.

Abstract: A method for compression of an input image (40) that includes a plurality of pixels (43, 45, 57) having respective input pixel values. The method includes quantizing the input pixel values so as to generate respective quantized pixel values, and generating a quantized image by substituting the quantized pixel values for the respective input pixel values in the input image. The input pixel values in the input image are reordered so as to generate a reordered image (59) in which the input pixel values are grouped by their respective quantized values. The quantized image and the reordered image are compressed so as to generate a compressed output image file.

Abstract: A system for identifying distinguishing features between an input new blank form and another blank form. The system includes a processor and memory capable of identifying a property in the input form which is sufficiently from a corresponding property in the other form. The identified property complies with a criterion that relates to the likelihood that the property is retained substantially invariable under use of the form. The specified property constitutes a verification property. In the case that no property is identified as a verification property, identifying a property in the other form which is sufficiently distinguishable from a corresponding property in the input form. This identified property complies with a criterion that relates to the likelihood that the property is retained invariable under use of the input form. The latter property constitutes a rejection property.
