Semantic classification and enhancement processing of images for printing applications
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for organizing images captured in an environment, the system comprising:
- an interface for receiving an image from an image capture device;
a semantic classifier module coupled to the interface, the semantic classifier module configured to determine the semantic category for the image, at least in part, by;
identifying text-containing regions in the image;
recognizing at least some textual content in the text-containing regions; and
applying a set of heuristics to the recognized textual content to determine the semantic classification for the image; and
an enhancement processing module coupled to the semantic classifier module, the enhancement processing module configured to enhance the image based on the semantic category into which the image was classified.

Abstract
A printing system enables the printing of enhanced documents using a semantic classification scheme. A printing system receives an image to be printed. The system classifies the image according to the semantic classification scheme and, based on this classification, performs enhancement processing on the image. Depending on the desired application, the printing system may recognize and classify any number of image types and may then perform various enhancement processing functions on the image, where the type of enhancement processing performed is based on the classification of the image.

7. A system for organizing images captured in an environment, the system comprising:
-
an interface for receiving an image from an image capture device; a semantic classifier module coupled to the interface, the semantic classifier module configured to determine a semantic category for the image based at least in part on content within the image; and an enhancement processing module coupled to the semantic classifier module, the enhancement processing module configured to enhance the image based on the semantic category into which the image was classified, at least in part, by; recognizing content within the image; associating the image with a stored document based on the recognized content; and replacing the captured image with the stored document. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for organizing images captured in an environment, the method comprising:
-
receiving a captured image; classifying the image into a semantic category based at least in part on content within the image, wherein classifying the image comprises; identifying text-containing regions in the image; recognizing at least some textual content in the text-containing regions; and applying a set of heuristics to the recognized textual content to determine the semantic classification for the image; and enhancing the image based on the semantic category into which the image was classified. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method for organizing images captured in an environment, the method comprising:
-
receiving a captured image; classifying the image into a semantic category based at least in part on content within the image; and enhancing the image based on the semantic category into which the image was classified, wherein the enhancing comprises; recognizing content within the image; associating the image with a stored document based on the recognized content; and replacing the captured image with the stored document. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
