摘要： A method (400) is disclosed for estimating an affine relation between a first image and a second image. The first and second images each have at least 4 non-parallel lines therein. The method (400) starts by identifying (406) sets of intersection points of the lines appearing in each of the images. The method (400) then determines (412) whether a relation between intersection points exists. If the relation exists then the first and second images are affine related and the affine distortion may be inverted (418).

摘要： A method (750) of encoding a value is disclosed. In one implementation the value is encoded into an image (700). The method (750) operates by defining (403) a first ordered set of positions; determining (405) a number of marks for encoding the value in the ordered set of positions; determining (409) a selection of the first ordered set of positions using combinatorial theory with the number of marks and the number of positions in the first ordered set of positions for encoding the value; and placing (411) marks at the selection of the first ordered set of positions. Preferably the value is encoded by encoding a base value and an offset value, the base value is encoded by the number of marks, and the offset value is encoded by the selection of positions. Preferably the marks are basis patterns forming a watermark (710). A method is also disclosed of encoding the number of basis patterns used in the watermark (710), which comprises the steps of defining a further ordered set of positions in the image; and adding a mark to the image at one of the further ordered set of positions, the mark at the one position encoding the number of basis patterns used in the watermark (710).

摘要： A method (200) of determining at least rotation and scale parameters of a transformation relating two images is disclosed. The method (200) starts by forming a spatial domain representation of each of the images that is invariant to translation of the images. A correlation in the log-polar domain is next performed between the representations. After detecting a magnitude peak in the correlation, the method (200) determines the rotation and scale parameters from the position of the magnitude peak.

摘要： Methods (700), apparatuses, systems (500) and computer program products for measuring spatial characteristics of an inkjet printer (200, 300) are disclosed. Group of marks (810/815) of a first predetermined pattern are printed (720) on a print medium (230) using a first group of nozzles (420). Groups of marks (820/825) of a second predetermined pattern are printed (720) using a second group of nozzles (420). A region of overlap of the printed groups of marks is formed. At least a portion of the print medium (230) having printed groups of marks is imaged. From the region of overlap, first and second groups of marks from the first and second printed patterns are selected (740). For each group of marks, a position representative of that group is determined An offset for measuring spatial characteristics of the printer (200, 300) between the first and second printed patterns is determined (750) dependent upon the representative position of each of the first and second group of marks.

摘要： A method (300) is described of determining characteristic of an ink jet printer (15). A chart containing multiple regions or patches is printed (320) on a print medium (115) using the ink jet print (15). The chart includes at least a first region printed using a first set of nozzles, and at least a second region printed using a second set of nozzles. The first and second sets of nozzles are a predetermined distance apart in the printer head of the printer (15). The printing of the first and second regions is also separated by a print medium advance operation equal to the predetermined distance. This causes the first and second regions to be aligned in the direction of the print medium advance operation. The chart is then imaged using scanner (16) chart to form a chart image. The positions of the regions appearing in the chart image are next determined (340). The spatial alignment characteristic of the printer is calculated from the distance, in the medium advance direction, between said first and second regions.

摘要： Methods (450, 750) are disclosed for embedding a watermark into an image (400, 700). The watermark comprises at least one basis pattern. A real part of the basis pattern(s) (410, 710) is added to the image (400, 700) to form a watermarked image (420, 730). The basis pattern(s) has scale and rotation invariant properties. The pattern(s) is preferably added to the image at a low intensity to make the pattern(s) invisible or imperceptible to the human visual system under normal viewing conditions. Methods (800, 900) are also disclosed for detecting a watermark from a watermarked image (810, 910). The watermark image (810, 910) is correlated with the basis pattern to provide a result image (830, 950). Peaks in the result image (830, 950) correspond with positions where the basis pattern was detected in the watermarked image (830, 950)

摘要： A method and system is disclosed for authenticating a physical medium (1405). The method starts by retrieving (1406) a reference digital signature (1412) previously determined (1403) based upon visual characteristics of an area (1402) of a reference physical medium (1400). A candidate digital signature (1415) is determined based upon visual characteristics of an area (1408) of the physical medium (1405), the area (1408) of the physical medium (1405) being at least partly corresponding to the area (1402) of the reference physical medium (1400). Weight values associated with different parts of at least one of the areas (1402 and 1408) are determined (201). Finally, the candidate digital signature (1415) is compared (1420) with the reference digital signature (1412), wherein the contributing of the parts in the comparison (1420) is based upon the weight values.
