Patent ID: 8818018

Claim:
A system for enhancing security printing, comprising: a segmentation system for performing zoning analysis on a scanned image, thereby identifying a list of regions in the image; a secure database in operative communication with the segmentation system, the secure database storing at least one of i) a template, or ii) prior zoning output specification; a secure registry in selective operative communication with the segmentation system, the secure registry storing region of interest information and information pertaining to strategies for identifying a region of interest; and an analysis system in operative communication with the segmentation system and the secure database, and in selective operative communication with the secure registry, the analysis system including computer readable instructions, embodied on tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium, to: determine whether at least one of i) the template, or ii) the prior zoning output specification is available; attempt to match at least one region from the list of regions with i) a region in the template, or ii) a region in the prior zoning output specification; and a) when one or more matching regions are found, then to: define at least one region of interest from the one or more matching regions using i) one or more regions of interest identified in the template, or ii) a secure registry and a predetermined strategy; and prioritize the defined at least one region of interest for a subsequent application; or b) when one or more matching regions are not found, then to: define at least one region of interest from the list of regions using a secure registry and a predetermined strategy; and prioritize the defined at least one region of interest for a subsequent application.
