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 a semantic category for the image, at least in part, by comparing heights of a plurality of markings on the image to determine whether the image belongs to a semantic category typically comprising machine-generated text or a semantic category typically comprising handwriting; 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.

14. A computer-implemented method for organizing images captured in an environment, the method comprising:
-
receiving, with a processor, a captured image; classifying, with the processor, the image into a semantic category, at least in part, by comparing heights of a plurality of markings on the image to determine whether the image belongs to a semantic category typically comprising machine-generated text or a semantic category typically comprising handwriting; and enhancing, with the processor, the image based on the semantic category into which the image was classified. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
