Patent EP-2112620-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ZENG YIJUN
IPC: G06V30/162
Filed: 2009-01-19
Abstract: Image binarization methods and devices for converting a grayscale image into a black and white binary image are provided. The grayscale image is divided into sub-images dynamically created from pixel to pixel containing a given pixel as well as neighboring pixels. The color value of the pixels in the sub-image is averaged and the threshold between the given pixel and the average color value is determined. Therefore, at a certain color value, this given pixel is converted to white and at another color value the pixel is converted black. The foregoing is effectuated pixel by pixel in a dynamic fashion evaluating each pixel relative to its neighboring pixels in order to produce a binarized image. A small sub-image provides greater clarity whereas a large sub-image gives a better broad view. In an image having a border surrounding characters, a smaller sub-image is used for the characters and the larger sub-image is used for the border thereby providing two binarized images. The border in the image obtained for the characters is removed to be combined with the image obtained for a clear border.

Abstract: A compact, self-contained, energy-efficient split-cane apparatus and method of use for separating pith, rind, and epidermis components of a sugarcane stalk, wherein sugarcane billets are driven over a splitter blade, dividing them longitudinally into two billet portions. The billet portions are processed individually by symmetrical processing paths. The pith is milled away from the rind while simultaneously flattening the rind. A deflector is adapted and positioned for directing the pith along a pith processing path, and further directing the rind along a rind processing path. The epidermis is removed from the rind, and each are subsequently shredded by at least one shredder disc, at which point an at least one perforated tumbling drum separates the shredded epidermis from the shredded rind. In addition, the apparatus is adjustable, enabling it to accommodate a wide range of sugarcane stalk thicknesses while maintaining its ability to efficiently separate each sugarcane component.

Abstract: An improvement over prior art aircraft instrument flight display systems for imaging on a bitmapped display formed of a multiplicity of individually addressable pixels at locations throughout the display and actuatable to create images on the display, employs a common processor operatively connected between a video graphics processor and the display system input of a common set of aircraft and environmental sensor data - to provide both an integrity checking function and a graphics rendering function in which the integrity checking function can directly check the images generated by the graphics rendering function without the need for comparator hardware. Separate processors may also be employed instead of a common processor. The integrity checking function uses the input information for generating a pixel verification map for checking the display based on pixel color and location. The system can also check for pitch and roll accuracy as well as check the integrity of complex images using statistical detection.
