International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707 6, 707 10, 382173, 382159

Abstract:

A method includes deriving a plurality of semantic categories for representing important semantic cues in images, where each semantic category is modeled through a combination of perceptual features that define the semantics of that category and that discriminate that category from other categories; for each semantic category, forming a set of the perceptual features comprising required features and frequently occurring features; comparing an image to said semantic categories; and classifying said image as belonging to one of said semantic categories if all of the required features and at least one of the frequently occurring features for that semantic category are present in said image. A database contains image information, where the image information includes at least one of already classified images, network locations of already classified images and documents containing already classified images. The database is searched for images matching an input query, comprising, e. g. , an image, text, or both.

Abstract:

A light source calibration target has a surface in view of a camera of an image capture system, The target includes a substrate having a substantially Lambertian surface, a visually distinct polygonal shape having corners formed on said surface so as to be visually distinct from the surface, and a plurality of objects each having an upstanding tip mounted on the surface, A method of using the calibration target operates, for each of the light sources to be calibrated, to capture an image of the target; process the captured image to derive light source calibration data and to store the calibration data.

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717121, 717101

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method supporting collaborative product development. A plurality of artifacts associated with the collaborative product development is maintained under revision control in a first repository. Each artifact has a plurality of lifecycle states and each artifact is associated with a first finite state machine (FSM) that defines lifecycle state transitions for the artifacts. A plurality of artifact tuples associated with the collaborative product development is maintained under revision control in a second repository. At least one artifact tuple is comprised of at least one access information providing access to at least one of said plurality of artifacts in the first repository. Each artifact tuple has a plurality of lifecycle states and each artifact tuple is associated with a second finite state machine (FSM) that defines lifecycle state transitions for the artifact tuples. There exists a set of lifecycle state transition mappings which maps all valid lifecycle state transitions for an artifact with desired lifecycle state transitions for an artifact tuple and all valid lifecycle state transitions for an artifact tuple with desired lifecycle state transitions for an artifact.

International Classification:

G06T015/60

US Classification:

345426000

Abstract:

Disclosed are an image editing user interface system and method. The system includes one or more computers with one or more graphical user interfaces, and a receiving process for receiving one or more rendered two dimensional images on the computer graphical user interface. Each two dimensional image represents reflected light from a lit three dimensional object model, and the reflective light at each point of the two dimensional image corresponds to an object point on the three dimensional object model. The system further includes a changing process for changing a portion of the two dimensional image by changing the light intensity at a set of one or more points on the two dimensional image. The change in light intensity at the set of points causes a change in the three dimensional model to correspond to the change in the light intensity.

An apparatus comprises a plurality of repositories, each maintaining under revision control a plurality of artifacts and another repository that maintains under revision control a plurality of artifact tuples. A workflow process is adapted to allow users to associate each of the artifact tuples with at least one of a plurality of product development processes.
