摘要： A digital watermarking method encodes different pairs of watermarks into each of a plurality of images offered for use by a vendor. The watermarks in each pair are derived from two separate collections of watermarks and sufficiently different so as to prevent false positives. Because each pair of watermarks is assigned to a different customer relative to a particular image, unauthorized use of a digital image sold to a customer may be determined by locating the associated pair of watermarks assigned to the customer in the image. Collusion detection is also realized by forming each pair of masks from sub-collections of masks which are detectable in an image formed by combining the same images sold to one or more customers.

摘要： Pages of books are copied without distortion due to curvature of the page near the book binding or the distortion in a copied page is corrected using the spacing of equidistant bars on tape strips applied to the top and bottom edges of a page before copying. The tape is preferably transparent and rather narrow and easily attached to a page to be copied. The first step in the distortion correction procedure is to locate the bars at the top and bottom of the page. The distortion of the spacing between the imaged bars is computed based on the known distance between the equidistant bars. The computed distortion of the spacing is then input to a distortion correction algorithm. The output of the distortion correction algorithm generates a corrected image. This image may also optionally delete the bars so that they are not printed in the copy. The corrected image is then copied.

摘要： The present invention provides methods and apparatus for embedding an identifying pattern of visible speckles into the digitized image of each page of a document. A speckle is a cluster of black or white pixels. Speckles are printed as black speckles on the white paper, or conversely, as areas of missing black removed from the black text characters, called white speckles. The collective pattern of all embedded black and white speckles on a single document page is called a specklemark. A specklemark can survive contrast manipulations on photocopiers and binary rasterization done by fax scanning prior to data transmission. The random pattern of the black and white speckles visible in the digitized image of a document page can be detected automatically, and by systematically matching the detected pattern with those known to have been embedded into marked copies of a document page, a specific document copy can be identified. Methods for composing, embedding and detecting specklemarks are the subject of this patent.

摘要： The present invention provides an image watermarking technique whereby a watermark is inserted into an adjusted digital source image that is bounded by a specific bounding rectangle. If the source image is larger than the rectangle, its dimensions are reduced by a common factor until it is the largest adjusted image that lies totally within the rectangle. A watermark is inserted into the adjusted image and at least one derived image of larger or smaller size is produced. Then, regardless of the size of an image derived from the watermarked adjusted image, enlarging or reducing that image to again lie within the rectangle greatly facilitates detection of the imbedded watermark. The size of the bounding rectangle may be specific to each source image, or, conversely, a common bounding rectangle may be used for a group of source images.
摘要翻译：本发明提供了一种图像水印技术，其中水印被插入到由特定边界矩形界定的经调整的数字源图像中。如果源图像大于矩形，则其尺寸减小一个共同因素，直到它是完全位于矩形内的最大调整图像。将水印插入到经调整的图像中，并且产生更大或更小尺寸的至少一个导出图像。然后，无论从水印调整图像得到的图像的大小如何，放大或缩小该图像再次位于该矩形内，大大方便了嵌入水印的检测。边界矩形的大小可以是每个源图像特定的，或者相反地，一个共同的边界矩形可以用于一组源图像。

摘要： A system for placing a visible "watermark" on a digital image is disclosed, wherein an image of the watermark is combined with the digital image. The pixels of the watermark image are examined, and for each pixel whose value is not a specified "transparent" value, the corresponding pixel of the original image is modified by changing its brightness but its chromaticities. This results in a visible mark which allows the contents of the image to be viewed clearly, but which discourages unauthorized use of the image.

摘要： The present invention provides methods and apparatus for imparting a multiplicity of watermarks onto a digitized image. The image includes a plurality of pixels, wherein each of the pixels includes brightness data that represents one brightness value if the image is monochrome, or a plurality of brightness data values if the image has multiple colors. In one aspect it provides for imparting more than one watermark into the digitized image comprising the steps of providing the digitized image, and multiplying the brightness data associated with at least one of the image pixels by a plurality of predetermined brightness multiplying value. Another aspect of the present invention is to provide a method for generating a composite watermark and imparting on a plurality of copies of a digitized image a different composite watermark into each copy. Also provided is a method for detecting one or more of the watermarks in the composite.

摘要： An inter-processor interrupt mechanism is implemented in a shared-memory multi-processor system. A dedicated halfword for each processor in said multi-processor system is provided in the shared memory restricted in use to the generation and control of inter-processor interrupts. No data in any dedicated shared-memory location can be altered by any processor unless it has "captured" the location by executing a test and set halfword instruction and a captured shared-memory location being released only by executing a store halfword instruction. An address comparator and a zero detector are added as adjunct operations to read-modify-write logic of each processor's memory interface. When any instruction is executed and its operand address agrees with that contained in the address comparator, an inter-processor interrupt request is generated if zero is not detected on all predefined data bits being written to memory. If a zero is detected on all predefined data bits being written to memory, the inter-processor interrupt request is removed.

摘要： A system or scheme for automatic detection of and recovery from transmission errors in the asynchronous communication mode at the data link level with complete transparency at the higher levels is disclosed wherein the transmissions are in the form of a sequence of data packets, and an improved combination of end-of-text (ETX) bytes along with checksums is used in each data packet to detect errors. The ETX character is dynamically selected for each packet after the data comprising the packet has been assembled. This character is coded differently from the remaining character codes in its respective packet and is made the second byte thereof following the start-of-text byte (STX). The third byte in each packet is made the complement of the preceding ETX byte, the latter of which is also made the last byte in the packet. Thus, the second and last bytes in each packet are identical, and different from all the other bytes, and the third byte is their complement. Other bytes in each packet include: one byte indicating the location of the packet in a set in a given transmission sequence; a byte distinguishing the packet's set from other transmission sequences; two bytes indicative of the number of data bytes in the packet; one byte operating as a control character indicating the functional nature of the packet; data bytes; and, two checksum bytes which precede the last ETX byte. Among the advantages of transmissions using packets containing the foregoing improved combination of bytes, is the fact that all transmission errors will be detected and upon detection of an error in a packet, the transmitter is immediately notified and retransmission is carried out only from the erroneous packet rather than from the beginning of the entire sequence as in the prior art.
摘要翻译：公开了一种用于在具有完全透明度的数据链路级别的异步通信模式下自动检测和恢复传输错误的系统或方案，其中传输是数据分组序列的形式，并且改进的组合每个数据包中使用文本结尾（ETX）字节以及校验和来检测错误。在组合数据包的数据之后，ETX字符是为每个数据包动态选择的。该字符与其各自的分组中的剩余字符代码不同，并且使其成为文本开头字节（STX）之后的第二个字节。每个数据包中的第三个字节是前一个ETX字节的补码，后一个字节也是数据包中的最后一个字节。因此，每个分组中的第二个和最后一个字节是相同的，并且与所有其他字节不同，第三个字节是它们的补码。每个分组中的其他字节包括：指示给定传输序列中的分组中的分组的位置的一个字节; 将分组的集合与其他传输序列区分开的字节; 两个字节表示数据包中的数据字节数; 一个字节作为指示分组的功能性质的控制字符操作; 数据字节; 以及在最后一个ETX字节之前的两个校验和字节。在使用包含上述改进的字节组合的分组的传输的优点之中，是所有的传输错误将被检测到，并且在检测到分组中的错误之后，发送器立即被通知，并且仅从错误的分组而不是像现有技术那样从整个序列开始。
