What is Image Normalization?

Image Normalization is to make all images appear to be regular.

For example, if you use a camera to take a picture, you need to take the images under the exact same conditions. Do Not change the zoom focus when taking the picture, because even though the image looks the same, changing the zoom will change the scale.

Normalization attempts to eliminate variations. Common variations are:

• Size;
• Color;
• Light;
• Shifts (up, down, left, right);
• Scale (bigger, smaller)
• Z-Rotation;
• X- and y-rotation;
• Stretch (vertical, horizontal);
• Skew (vertical, horizontal)

For example, if a trademark appears anywhere in an image, then these trademark images are not normalized.

There are several ways to normalize images. Ideally, you want the images to contain only content, but not background or noise.

(1) Normalization I

The following is a set of normalized images:

They are normalized because:

• All images are the same size (in this case, 350x140);
• No variation;
• All contents are centered.

(2) Normalization II

The following is a set of normalized images:

They are normalized because:

• All images contain only contents and nothing else, although the sizes are different;

What is Attrasoft's Software Development Procedure?

Can you send me some more detail regarding the integration, costs, etc.?

(1) Set up the system (you can do that);

 

(2) Collect the data (you can do that);

 

(3) Preliminary Assessment via our off-the-shelf software, the ImageFinder.

• You should get Identification Rates ranging from 60% to 89%. The best rate, one of our customers (without any customization) was able to obtain, was an 89% Identification Rate.

• Note: The off-the-shelf ImageFinder has 70 open parameters for users to adjust which is the reason customers are only able to achieve Identification Rates ranging from 60% to 89%.

• Note: The ImageFinder itself has 3,000+ internal parameters which users have no access to; customization is the process of adjusting these 3,000+ internal parameters for your specific image type; this is where the high degree of accuracy for your specific image type is obtained.

   

 (4) Feasibility Project via Customized Stand-alone Software.

• Attrasoft will develop a stand-alone software, which will address the special needs of your application.

• This will allow you to show your upper management the practicality of a larger project.

   

(5) Programming Library in .Net;

 

(6) System Integration to your Production Line;

 

(7) Licensing and Annual Support.

• One-time License:          2% of the project.

• Annual License:             0.6% of the project

Where Do I Start?

We assume you have already completed or are in the process of completing step 1 and 2. The next step is called Preliminary Assessment. In this step, you test out your idea with our standalone software, the ImageFinder. If some additional work needs to be done, we will move to step (4), Feasibility Study.

Only after the testing with our standalone software (ImageFinder) is successful, you will then move into system integration. So, if you have not done so, we recommend you start collecting data, and work with Attrasoft to do steps (1), (2), and (3).

The software, ImageFinder, cost $500. We also recommend an "ImageFinder Level I Service" to go with it, which costs $1000. After that, you should be able to operate the software without any further difficulties.
