Image recognition
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for image recognition, said method comprising:
- imaging a section of an element while the element is at a first speed to obtain a first image pattern;
imaging the section of the element while the element is at a second speed to obtain a second image pattern, wherein the first speed differs from the second speed; and
making the apparent speeds of the element in the first image pattern and the second image pattern appear approximately the same.

Abstract
A method for image recognition. In the method, a section of an element is imaged while the element is at a first speed to obtain a first image pattern. The section of the element is also imaged while the element is at a second speed to obtain a second image pattern. The first speed differs from the second speed. In addition, the apparent speeds of the element in the first image pattern and the second image pattern are made to appear approximately the same.

12. A system for image recognition, said system comprising:
-
at least one photosensor array configured to capture a first image pattern of an element and a second image pattern of the element, wherein the first image pattern and the second image pattern are configured to be captured while the element is traveling at different speeds;
a motor operable to vary the position of the element; and
a controller configured to control operation of the at least one photosensor array and the motor, said controller being configured to make the apparent speeds of the element in the first image pattern and the second image pattern appear approximately the same, and wherein said controller is configured to perform an image recognition operation on the first image pattern and the second image pattern. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

37. A method of image recognition comprising the steps of:
generating first and second images of an object at first and second times, said object traveling at different speeds at said first and second times, wherein said first and second images are generated such that the apparent speed of the object in the first and second images are substantially the same.
