Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for adjusting a unit image area within an input image (102) according to information importance within the unit area. An image receiver (304) configured to receive the input image (102). An image warper (316) is coupled to an importance map (310) and is configured to generate a warped image (110) such that regions of higher importance in the input image are expanded in the warped image (110) and regions of lower importance in the input image are compressed in the warped image (110). The importance map (310) is configured to delineate the regions of higher importance and the regions of lower importance in the input image (102). Texture coordinates (318) may also be warped in a similar manner. Thus, the image is unwarped automatically by modern graphics adapters having texture mapping capabilities.

Abstract: The present system and apparatus uses image processing to recognize objects within a scene. The system includes an illumination source for illuminating the scene. By controlling the illumination source, an image processing system can take a first digitize image of the scene with the object illuminated a higher level and a second digitized image with the object illuminated at a lower level. Using an algorithm, the object(s) image is segmented from a background image of the scene by a comparison of the two digitized images taken. A processed image (that can be used to characterize features) of the object(s) is then compared to stored reference images. The object is recognized when a match occurs. The system can recognize objects independent of size and number and can be trained to recognize objects that it was not originally programmed to recognize.
