Abstract
Described herein is a technology for facilitating multi-media collaboration. In some implementations, a digital image with hand drawings is provided at a local location of a collaboration. A graph is formed from the digital image. Connected components (CCs) in the graph are identified. Text CCs in the graph is classified. The text CCs from the graph is segmented. Objects and data of the text CCs are propagated to participants of the collaboration at other remote locations.
Claims20
A computer implemented method for multi-media collaboration comprising:
- providing, at a local location of a collaboration, a digital image with hand drawings;
- forming a graph from the digital image;
- identifying connected components (CCs) in the graph;
- classifying text CCs in the graph;
- segmenting the text CCs from the graph;
- and
- propagating objects and data of the text CCs to participants of the collaboration at other remote locations.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon program code, the program code executable by a computer to perform:
- capturing a digital image with hand drawings at a local location;
- forming a graph from the digital image;
- identifying connected components (CCs) in the graph;
- classifying text CCs in the graph;
- and
- segmenting the text CCs from the graph.
A multi-media collaboration system comprising:
- a non-transitory memory device for storing computer-readable program code;
- and
- a processor in communication with the memory device, the processor being operative with the computer-readable program code to perform:
- capturing a digital image with hand drawings by a digital camera in communication with the processor,
- forming a graph from the digital image,
- identifying connected components (CCs) in the graph,
- classifying text CCs in the graph, and
- segmenting the text CCs from the graph.
