1. A method for determining an image characteristic in a digital image, said method comprising:
- a) identifying a first glyph component in a digital image;
b) determining a first reference location for said first glyph component;
c) in said first glyph component, determining a first feature location associated with a first glyph feature;
d) determining a first position, relative to said first reference location, of said first feature location;
e) accumulating, in a first distribution counter, a frequency-of-occurrence count related to said first glyph feature and said first position;
f) determining a distribution feature based on said first distribution counter; and
g) associating a first image-characteristic value with said digital image based on said distribution feature and a first probabilistic model, wherein said first probabilistic model is associated with said first glyph feature and said first image characteristic.

17. A method for determining an image characteristic in a digital image, said method comprising:
-
a) identifying a first plurality of glyph components in a digital image; b) for each glyph component in said first plurality of glyph components, determining a glyph-feature location-distribution counter, thereby producing a first plurality of distribution counters; c) determining a distribution feature based on said first plurality of distribution counters; and d) associating a first image-characteristic value with said digital image based on said distribution feature and a first probabilistic model, wherein said first probabilistic model is associated with a plurality of glyph features and said first image characteristic. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method for determining an image characteristic in a digital image, said method comprising:
-
a) identifying a first glyph component in a digital image; b) identifying a first pattern associated with a first glyph pixel within said first glyph component, wherein said first pattern is based on said first glyph pixel and a first plurality of pixels within a neighborhood proximate to said first glyph pixel; c) accumulating, in a first distribution counter, a frequency-of-occurrence count related to said first pattern; d) determining a distribution feature based on said first distribution counter; and e) associating a first image-characteristic value with said digital image based on said distribution feature and a first probabilistic model, wherein said first probabilistic model is associated with said first pattern and said first image characteristic. - View Dependent Claims (23)
