The present disclosure illustrates an apparatus and method for scanning, in particular documents with the aid of a camera. The method includes combining an image sequence or a sequence of partial images in order to obtain a final image, and projecting a reference model onto the camera vision field and in compensating representational differences of different images on the basis of geometrical information of the model.

A system and method for object detection are provided where the system includes a component detection unit for detecting components in an image, a component fusion unit in signal communication with the component detection unit for fusing the components into an object, and a CPU in signal communication with the detection and fusion units for comparing the fused components with a statistical model; and the method includes receiving observation data for a plurality of training images, forming at least one statistical model from the plurality of training images, receiving an input image having a plurality of pixels, detecting a plurality of components in the input image, determining a fusion of the detected components, comparing the fusion with the statistical model, and detecting an object in accordance with the comparison.

Component fusion for face detection

A real environment during which a feedback between the position of the information and the projection thereof ensues with means for image processing and/or pattern recognition. The feedback ensues in such a manner that the information is positioned at a predetermined position in the real environment.
