Abstract: A rights management system and method allow users to easily associate rights management policies with documents send via email from a client (e.g. a computer or scanner). The client transmits email recipient information, including the attention type (“to,” “cc” or “bcc”) for each recipient, to a rights management server. The server stores multiple rights management policies each specifying access rights (e.g. view, edit, print) granted to specified users, and stores an attention-right rule defining a correspondence between access rights and attention types. Based on the recipient information from the client, and applying the attention-rights rule, the server selects an appropriate policy or creates a new one if an appropriate policy does not exist, and transmits the policy, a document ID and an encryption key to the client. The client encrypts the document, adds metadata to the document, and sends the email with the attached document to a mail server.

Abstract: A text line segmentation method for a document image containing printed text and handwriting, or document image containing skewed lines or printed text. Connected component (CC) are obtained for the document, and their bounding boxes and centroids are calculated. The CCs are categorized into three categories based on bounding box sizes: small objects, regular text objects, and large objects involving handwriting. The centroids of regular text objects are used in a cluster analysis to find the vertical centers of the N text lines. Then, each CC is classified into one of the N lines based on the vertical distance between its centroid and the vertical centers of text lines, and copied into to a corresponding object board. Extra spaces are removed from the object boards to obtain the line segments. The large object involving handwriting will be classified into one of the lines but absent from other lines.

Abstract: A method for detecting ghost artifact in multiple images during high dynamic range (HDR image creation. For each pair of images, multiple individual consistency maps are generated by calculating a consistency function using moving windows of different sizes. The individual consistency maps are combined into a combined consistency map and then binarized. When combining the multiple individual consistency maps, they are first binarized using predetermined threshold values that are window-size-specific. The threshold values are developed beforehand using training images and machine leaning. The final binarized consistency map indicates whether the pair of images are consistent with each other at each pixel location. Then, a ghost-weight map is generated for each image based on the multiple final consistency maps. The ghost-weight map indicates the likelihood of each image pixel being ghost-inducing. The HDR image is generated using the set of images and the corresponding ghost-weight maps.
