Abstract: Perspective distortion is estimated in a digital document image by detecting
perspective pencils in two directions, one being parallel to text lines, and the other
being parallel to the boundaries of formatted text columns. The pencils are detected by
analyzing directional statistical characteristics of the image. To detect a pencil, a first
statistical line transform is applied to transform the image into line space, and a second
statistical score transform is applied to transform the image into pencil space. A
dominant peak in pencil space identifies the perspective pencil. In addition, a
computationally efficient line summing technique is used for effecting sums of pixels
along inclined target lines (or curves) through an image. The technique includes pregenerating
partial sums, and summing along step segments of a target line using the
partial sums.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the treatment of dopamine-related dysfunction using full D1 dopamine receptor agonists in an intermittent dosing protocol with a short, but essential, 'off-period'. The D1 agonist concentration is reduced during the 'off-period' to obtain a plasma concentration of agonist that suboptimally activates D1 dopamine receptors for a period of time to prevent induction of tolerance. Specifically, the method comprises the steps of administering to a patient a full D1 agonist with a half-life of up to about 6 hours periodically at a dose resulting in a first plasma concentration of agonist capable of activating D1 dopamine receptors to produce a therapeutic effect. The dose is reduced at least once every 24 hours to obtain a second lower plasma concentration of agonist which results in suboptimal activation of D1 dopamine receptors for a period of time sufficient to prevent induction of tolerance.

Abstract: Scenes in a motion picture to be colorized are broken up into separate elements, composed of backgrounds/sets or motion/onscreen-action. These backgrounds elements and motion elements are combined separatelyinto single frame representations of multiple frames, as tiled frame sets or as a single frame composite of all elements (i.e., both motion and backgrounds/foregrounds) that then becomes a visual reference database that includes data for all frame offsets which are later used for the computer controlled application of masks within a sequence composed of a plurality of frames. Each pixel address within the visual reference database corresponds to a mask/lookup table address within the digital frame and X, Y, Z location of subsequent frames that were used to create the visual reference database. Masks are applied to subsequent frames of motion objects based on various differentiating image processing methods, including automated mask fitting of all masks in an entire frame, automated mask fitting of single masks in each frame, bezier and polygon tracing of selected regions aided by edge detected shaping and operator directed detection of subsequent regions corresponding to the original region of interest. In this manner, the gray scale actively determines the mask and corresponding color lookup from frame to frame that is applied in a keying fashion within regions of interest.
