Image processing of webpages

A web detection system processes webpage information and performs automated feature extraction of webpages including machine processable information. In an embodiment, the web detection system determines a subset of webpages having a target characteristic by processing markup language. For a webpage of the subset, the web detection system determines that a first image overlaps at least a portion of a second image in the webpage. The web detection system generates an image of the webpage such that the portion of the second image is obscured by the first image. The web detection system determines a graphical feature of the webpage by processing the image, e.g., using optical character recognition. Responsive to determining that the graphical feature corresponds to graphical features of images of a different set of webpages associated with a target entity, the web detection system determines that the webpage is also associated with the target entity.

Systems and apparatuses for capturing an image of a vehicle for which roadside assistance is being requested are provided. The image may be captured by a mobile device and the mobile device may geotag location information to the image. The image and associated geotag location information may then be processed to determine a location of the vehicle and a roadside assistance issue for which service is being requested. The image may be further analyzed to determine a context including, a make, model and/or year of the vehicle, whether special equipment is needed to service the vehicle, whether the vehicle is located in a particular situation (e.g., within a structure, in a ditch, or the like). The information obtained from the image may be used to determine a type of service to provide to the vehicle and to identify one or more service providers to dispatch to the vehicle.

Disclosed are an X-ray imaging system and method, and the system comprises an X-ray source, a high-voltage generator, a collimator, a digital flat-panel detector, and a host computer; a position relationship between a projection area and a subject is visually displayed through a display screen; as an image frame on the screen is directly dragged to a corresponding position of an image of the subject presented on the screen or an area of interest is drawn, the collimator automatically drives a collimating sheet to move and enables the projection area to move to an observation position required by the subject, and information about the area of interest is transmitted to the detector as an input for selecting a response area of automatic exposure control (AEC). The collimator cooperates with digital automatic exposure control (DAEC), so that a strict requirement is no longer existent for patient positioning.

Image data generation device, image recognition device, image data generation program, and image recognition program

An image recognition device executes a Hilbert scan of frame image data constituting moving-image data to generate one-dimensional spatial image data, and further arrays the one-dimensional spatial image data in a time direction to generate two-dimensional spatio-temporal image data that holds spatial information and temporal information. The image recognition device converts the moving-image data into the two-dimensional spatio-temporal image data while holding the spatial and temporal information. By means of a CNN unit, the image recognition device executes a convolution process wherein a two-dimensional filter is used on the spatio-temporal image data to image-recognize a behavior of a pedestrian who is a recognition object. The image recognition device executes behavioral recognition of the pedestrian that requires a three-dimensional analysis consisting of two dimensions for space and one dimension for time by the image recognition process of the two-dimensional image by the CNN, and estimates a state of the pedestrian.
