First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method to be executed by a processor in an electronic environment, comprising:
- capturing a visual object being transmitted over a network;
selecting a subset of the visual object;
decompressing the selected subset of the visual object to a colorspace representation to expose each pixel of the selected subset of the visual object;
determining a contribution of each pixel to a plurality of image types;
determining an image type of the visual object based on the contribution of each pixel to the plurality of image types, the determined image type being one of the plurality of image types.

Abstract
Visual objects can be classified according to image type. In one embodiment, the present invention includes capturing a visual object, and decompressing the visual object to a colorspace representation exposing each pixel. The contribution of each pixel to a plurality of image types can then be determined. Then, the contributions can be combined, and the image type of the visual object can be determined based on the contributions.

9. A capture device comprising:
-
one or more capture modules to capture a visual object being transmitted over a network; a scaling module to select a subset of the visual object; a decompressor to decompress the selected subset of the visual object to a colorspace representation thereby exposing each pixel of the selected subset of the visual object; a pixel map module to determine a contribution of each pixel to a plurality of image types; and a classification module to determine an image type of the visual object based on the contribution of each pixel to the plurality of image types, the determined image type being one of the plurality of image types. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A machine-readable medium having stored thereon data representing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
capturing a visual object being transmitted over a network; selecting a subset of the visual object; decompressing the selected subset of the visual object to a colorspace representation to expose each pixel of the selected subset of the visual object; determining a contribution of each pixel to a plurality of image types; determining an image type of the visual object based on the contribution of each pixel to the plurality of image types, the determined image type being one of the plurality of image types. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
