U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Leung.
The Invention
The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for
generating defective pixel representations of character images
and also to a method and apparatus for using the generated
defective pixel representations to infer or train an optical
image classifier. The classifier should recognize the intended
character despite defective pixel representations of the same.
A user can select one or more defective class parameters
each of which specifies a corresponding class of defective pixel
representation. A set of defective pixel representations is
generated which belongs to the defect class specified by the user
selected defect class parameters.
Representative claims 6 and 20 are reproduced below:
6. A method of generating examples of defective pixel
representations of symbols comprising the steps of:
receiving one or more defect class parameters
selected by a user from a plurality thereof, each defect class
parameter specifying a class of pixel representation defects;
