A method and a system for scaling a digital source image consisting of a grid of X by Y pixels into a target image of a different resolution comprises the steps of / tools for:mapping the source pixels onto the target pixels;scaling the source image in the X or Y direction to produce intermediate pixels that are scaled in one direction by determining contributions to each intermediate pixel using a digital filter and accumulating the contributions for each intermediate pixel, wherein each source pixel contributes to one or more intermediate pixels and each intermediate pixel receives contributions from one or more source pixels; and subsequentlyscaling the intermediate pixels in the other direction by determining the contributions to each target pixel using the filter and accumulating the contributions for each target pixel;wherein each intermediate pixel contributes to one or more target pixels and each target pixel receives contributions from one or more intermediate pixels.The method is preferably carried out on a PE array in an SIMD (Simple Instruction Multiple Data) device.

The present system can perform machine learning of prototypical descriptions of data elements for extraction from machine-readable documents. Document templates are created from sets of training documents that can be used to extract data from form documents, such as: fill-in forms used for taxes; flex-form documents having many variants, such as bills of lading or insurance notifications; and some context-form documents having a description or graphic indicator in proximity to a data element. In response to training documents, the system performs an inductive reasoning process to generalize a document template so that the location of data elements can be predicted for the training examples. The automatically generated document template can then be used to extract data elements from a wide variety of form documents.

A broadband signal amplifier includes one of more broadband amplifier circuits, each dynamically controlled in response to a total power level of signals applied thereto to reduce linearity in response to a reduction of input signal strength. A filter may couple the output of the broadband amplifier circuits to each other to form a tandem arrangement. Power detectors are connected to detect and provide outputs indicative of the total power levels of the signals applied to respective broadband amplifiers. A control unit is connected to and receives the output from the power detectors and, in response, provides a control signals to the broadband amplifier circuit so as to operate each over portions of their operating characteristic curves that provide only that degree of linearity necessary to limit distortion to a predetermined or dynamically adjustable maximum acceptable level.

The present invention provides a high-performance adaptive digital receiver with adaptive background control that optimizes the performance in rapidly changing signal environments and provides 3.6 GH; instantaneous bandwidth, SFDR>90 dB, SNR=66 dB, with dynamic digital channelization. The receiver takes advantage of several levels of adaptivity that conventional approaches do not offer. In addition to a dynamic digital channelizer that is adaptively tuned based on detected signals, the present invention employs a powerful software reconfigurable digitizer that is adaptively optimized for the current signal environment to control important receiver parameters such as bandwidth, dynamic range, resolution, and sensitivity.
