81results about How to "Difficult to distinguish" patented technology

Systems and methods for processing data representative of a full color image. Such systems may comprise the steps of assisting a color blind person to indicate portions of an image which to their color-deficient vision are indistinguishable, and altering the image to cause those portions to become distinguishable and identifiable.

A pot type yoke has a bottom portion, and a wall portion provided upward on the bottom portion. This pot type yoke is provided with a mark for the purpose of distinguishing it from other kinds of the pot type yokes.

Images based on each of a plurality of color components are formed; the formed images are transferred on each transfer medium to form an image quality determining image; the image quality of the image quality determining image is determined on the basis of the detected density thereof, an adjustment image is formed by overlaying and transferring an image of other color component to be adjusted to the reference image of the reference color image out of the plurality of color components, on the transfer medium; the density of the adjustment image is detected; and the image forming position of the other color component to be adjusted is adjusted on the basis of the detected density. At the time of executing the color matching adjustment process for detecting the overlaid state of color component images, it is determined whether a specified time has passed or not since the previous adjustment process, a specified number of images are formed or not, environments are changed or not, and the power source is turned on or off or not. When it is predicted that the quality of the formed image is out of an appropriate range, a quality checking image is formed, its image quality is checked, and the color matching adjustment process is executed only when it is within an appropriate range.

An image processing device that identifies a characteristic of a lip from a face image including a mouth of a person has a representative skin color determination unit that determines a representative color of a skin in the face image, a candidate color determination unit that sets a plurality of regions in the face image such that at least one of the regions contains a part of the lip, and determines representative colors of the regions as candidate colors, and a representative lip color determination unit that determines a representative color of the lip from the plurality of candidate colors, in accordance with a difference in hue and saturation between the representative color of the skin and each candidate color.

The device includes a drop dispenser orifice formed in a dispenser end, and a mechanism for visually locating the orifice, by forming a demarcation zone having a color that contrasts strongly with other portions of the dispenser end.
