The invention discloses a multi-exposure image fusion method based on Laplacian pyramid decomposition, relating to the field of computer vision and the field of image/video processing; and the research over-emphasizes the image processing. With respect to the disadvantages of the loss of image details during multi-scale decomposition and reconstruction in the traditional fusion method based on the Laplacian pyramid decomposition, the method has the beneficial effects: the details of the input images are strengthened on a certain extent by means of an image detail strengthening method, and the partial loss of the details caused by pyramid mitigation and amplification is counteracted, so that the multi-exposure image fused images contain rich details and higher resolution.

Along with digitization of information, it has become more easy to share and use information over a broad range. It is very important to manage digital documents and documents obtained by printing the digital documents. After completion of a conference, each participant makes an MFP read a document image of a distributed reference. The MFP searches for a data file which matches the read document image with reference to information in a storage unit, and deletes the detected data file. If the number of pages of the read image is short, the data file cannot be detected, or the read document image shows a partial loss, the MFP generates a warning. Upon reception of a collection completion message, the MFP checks with reference to information in the storage unit if all data files associated with the conference are deleted. If a data file to be deleted still remains and that data file is printed, the MFP generates a warning.

The invention provides an integrative compressing method and device of an image. The integrative compressing method comprises at least one lossless encoding method and at least one loss encoding method. A basic encoding unit is an encoding sub-block with fixed size. For each encoding sub-block, both loss and lossless encoding methods are used for encoding the encoding sub-blocks for one time, saving encoding results with least R-D (Rate-Distortion) cost function values and marking the corresponding encoding method as an optimal encoding method. In the whole compression process, partial lossless compression and partial loss compression are carried out with ultrahigh image quality. For the lossless encoding which carries out compression by using a dictionary, the data in the dictionary is from N-byte data which is encoded by using the lossless method recently, and the traditional image compression method is only suitable for some image content. Through combining the plurality of lossless and loss encoding methods, for different image contents, the proper encoding method is selected from the view of acquiring the optimal encoding R-D performance, thereby the invention is suitable for compressing the image including the plurality of contents.

The present invention is aimed at techniques for detecting the “partial loss” of an upper layer frame. One technique envisions a detection platform adapted to determine whether a packet is a final packet for a particular upper layer frame. A comparator platform then compares packets received free of transmission errors with variables indicative of whether all received packets in the particular upper layer frame have been received correctly when a final packet is detected. A transmission platform then sends a signal indicative of whether the packets received without transmission errors constitute the particular upper layer frame so that lost packets can be retransmitted quickly.
