摘要： An image identification apparatus for identifying an image from a hand drawn representation of at least part of the image, the image identification apparatus comprising an image processor arranged in operation to generate a reference identification in response to spatial samples produced from at least part of the hand drawn representation, the reference identification being indicative of a first estimate of which of a plurality of pre-stored images corresponds to the hand drawn representation. and a controller which is arranged in operation to cause the image processor to produce a refined reference identification from the spatial samples and further spatial samples produced from a further part of the hand drawn representation, the refined reference identification being indicative of a refined estimate of which of the plurality of the prestored images corresponds to the hand drawn representation. The controller is arranged to operate with the image processor to generate further refined estimates of the identification of the image from subsequent hand drawn parts of the image.

摘要： An audio/video reproducing apparatus is connectable to a communications network for selectively reproducing items of audio/video material from a recording medium in response to a request received via the communications network. The audio/video reproducing apparatus may comprise a control processor operable in use to receive data representing the request for the audio/video material item via the communications network. A reproducing processor is operable in response to signals identifying the audio/video material items from the control processor to reproduce the audio/video material items. The data identifying the audio/video material items includes meta data indicative of the audio/video material items. The meta data may be one of UMID, tape ID and time codes, and a Unique Material Identifier the material items. To facilitate the identification and selection of the audio and/or video material, an audio and/or video processing apparatus is provided for processing audio and/or video signals representing sound and/or images. The processing apparatus comprises an activity detector operable to generate an activity signal indicative of an amount of activity within the sound/images represented by the audio/video signal, and a meta data generator coupled to the activity detector which is operable to generate sample images at temporal positions within the audio/video signal, which temporal positions are determined from the activity signal. The processing apparatus thereby provides a facility for automatically generating meta data from received audio/video signals. The meta data can be used to select the audio/video material.

摘要： An information handling method in which information items are mapped to respective nodes in an array of nodes by mutual similarity of the information items, such that similar information items map to nodes at similar positions in the array of nodes; there being a mapping relationship between frequencies of occurrence, within an information item, of each of a concordance of information features and nodes in the array of nodes, comprises the steps, in respect of an information item to be processed, of: detecting a closest node in the array of nodes, the closest node being that node for which the mapping relationship provides a closest match with the information item to be processed; selecting a group of nodes near, in the array, to the closest node; and modifying the mapping relationship so that the closest node and the group of nodes are brought generally closer to the information item to be processed; in which, for the purposes of selecting the group of nodes, the array wraps around so that a peripheral edge of the array is treated as adjacent to an opposite peripheral edge of the array.

摘要： An information retrieval apparatus for searching a set of information items and displaying the results of the search, the information items each having a set of characterising information features. The apparatus comprises a search processor operable to search the information items in accordance with a user defined characterising information feature and to identify information items having characterising information features corresponding to that user defined characterising information feature. A mapping processor is operable to generate data representative of a map of information items from a set of information items identified in the search. The map provides the identified information items with respect to positions in an array in accordance with a mutual similarity of the information items, similar information items mapping to similar positions in the array. The apparatus includes a graphical user interface for displaying a representation of at least some of the identified items, and a user control for selecting an identified information item. The search processor is operable to refine the search to identify information items relating to the selected information item. As such the user is provide with a facility for refining a search by identifying desired information items with respect to items revealed as positions within the array which are mutually similar. Searching and navigating large amounts of data are thereby made easier.
