Appl. No.:

09/745392

Assignee:

Physical Optics Corporation - Torrance CA

International Classification:

G06K 936

US Classification:

382232, 382241, 382233, 35842616

Abstract:

Methods and apparatuses for still image compression, video compression and automatic target recognition are disclosed. The method of still image compression uses isomorphic singular manifold projection whereby surfaces of objects having singular manifold representations are represented by best match canonical polynomials to arrive at a model saved and compressed using standard lossy compression. The coefficients from the best match polynomial together with the difference data, if any, are then compressed using lossless compression. The method of motion estimation for inhanced video compression sends I frames on an âas neededâ basis, based on comparing the error between segments of a current frame and a predicted frame. If the error exceeds a predetermined threshold, which can be based on program content, the next frame sent will be an I frame. The method of automatic target recognition (ATR) including tracking, zooming, and image enhancement, uses isomorphic singular mainfold projection to separate texture and sculpture portions of an image.

Abstract:

Methods and apparatuses for still image compression, video compression and automatic target recognition are disclosed. The method of still image compression uses isomorphic singular manifold projection whereby surfaces of objects having singular manifold representations are represented by best match canonical polynomials to arrive at a model representation. The model representation is compared with the original representation to arrive at a difference. If the difference exceeds a predetermined threshold, the difference data are saved and compressed using standard lossy compression. The coefficients from the best match polynomial together with the difference data, if any, are then compressed using lossless compression. The method of motion estimation for enhanced video compression sends I frames on an “as-needed” basis, based on comparing the error between segments of a current frame and a predicted frame. If the error exceeds a predetermined threshold, which can be based on program content, the next frame sent will be an I frame.

International Classification:

G06F015/173
G06F015/16

US Classification:

709/238000, 709/247000

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for compressing and transmitting data across a network. Packets of data are received. The packets of data are combined based on packet header destination information to form a first combined file. The first combined file is compressed to form a first compressed file. The first compressed file is transmitting across the network. The first compressed file is repacketized to form a repacketized first compressed file and the repacketized first compressed file is transmitted across the network. The packets combined to form the first combined file have headers addressed to the same first subnetwork and the first subnetwork comprises a plurality of users. Headers addressed to the first subnetwork are inserted on the packets of the repacketized first compressed file. A second group of packets of data with headers addressed to a second subnetwork is selected. the second group of packets of data is combined to form a second combined file. The second combined file is compressed and transmitted.

Soft ATR is then used on the sculptured portion and hard ATR is used on the texture portion.

US Classification:

382128, 600410, 600407

Abstract:

Apparatus and method for determining an extent of vascularization in which a digitaldigitalized representation of blood vessels in a selected area is generated; one or more statistical quantative measures for the blood vessels in the selected area are calculated; and the one or more statistical quantative measures are compared to corresponding statistical standards to determine an extent of vascularization. The statistical quantative measures may include the density of branch points and the density of end points in a skeleton representing the blood vessels and a fractal dimension for the skeleton.
