A first decoder obtains a region including an object targeted for recognition based on a feature map obtained by performing convolutional processing on a processing target image. Next, the first decoder obtains, from the feature map, a partial feature map of a portion corresponding to the obtained region including the object targeted for recognition. Then, a second decoder obtains pixels corresponding to the object targeted for recognition based on the partial feature map. This reduces the amount of calculation required for decoder units included in a neural network.

An image processing apparatus obtains a read image of a document including a handwritten character, generates a first image formed by pixels of the handwritten character by extracting the pixels of the handwritten character from pixels of the read image using a first learning model for extracting the pixels of the handwritten character, estimates a handwriting area including the handwritten character using a second learning model for estimating the handwriting area, and performs handwriting OCR processing based on the generated first image and the estimated handwriting area.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and storage medium

An image-processing system that can perform predetermined image processing on a manuscript character in a captured image is provided. A method for image processing includes training a neural network using composite image data including a background image and a manuscript image and correct image data corresponding to the composite image data, obtaining a captured image of an original that contains a manuscript character, and performing predetermined image processing on the captured image using the neural network.

Method and system for training and using a neural network for image-processing

A system that outputs information generated by summarizing contents of voices and images as texts. A CPU of the system performs, according to a program stored in a memory, recording voice data and captured image data, generating first text information by performing speech recognition on the acquired voice data, generating second text information by performing character recognition on the acquired image data, and generating summary text information smaller in the number of characters than the first text information and the second text information, based on the first text information and the second text information, according to a predetermined criterion.

An information processing system in which a source information processing apparatus is capable of performing a job cooperatively with a destination information processing apparatus, is provided. The system includes an instruction unit configured to cause the source information processing apparatus to submit a cooperative job to the destination information processing apparatus, and a control unit configured to restrict manipulation of the submitted cooperative job at the destination information processing apparatus and to enable the manipulation of the cooperative job according to an instruction from the source information processing apparatus.

Information processing system, information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program therefor

An image forming apparatus that is capable of displaying a real size preview and reduces user's time and effort required for forming the image on the recording medium. The image forming apparatus includes a printing unit which forms an image on a recording medium, and a user interface for displaying information to a user. A real size preview image is displayed on the user interface. A display magnification slider is used for enabling a user to change a display magnification of the image displayed on the user interface. A controller unit selects a size of the recording medium on which the image is to be formed, based on the display size changed by the user. A printing unit forms the image on the recording medium having the selected size.

The problem of the present invention is to be capable of efficiently using a system resource of a device. For solving the above problem, an application platform according to the present invention comprises determining unit for determining whether an application for installation or activation is installed or activated, wherein when the determining unit determines whether the application for installation or activation is installed or activated, the determining unit refers to a first resource use amount and a second resource use amount larger than the first resource use amount of each of a plurality of applications already installed or activated, a first resource use amount and a second resource use amount larger than the first resource use amount of the application for installation or activation.

Application platform and application

When a plurality of information processing apparatuses that have an authentication function cooperate to execute a job, user authentication information is transmitted from a cooperative information source processing apparatus to a destination cooperative information processing apparatus that execute the cooperative job. A user account is created at the destination cooperative information processing apparatus based on the transmitted authentication information. When the cooperative information source processing apparatus notifies execution of a cooperative job to the destination cooperative information processing apparatus, authentication information that is authenticated at the cooperative information source processing apparatus is transmitted to the destination cooperative information processing apparatus. The destination cooperative information processing apparatus creates a user account based on the authentication information, and executes the cooperative job using the created user account.
