The concealed information may be in the security printed image but it is more usually incorporated into the personalization data, especially the portrait.... The information might, for example, be the passport number. The reader could then be programmed to compare the passport number detected from the feature with the passport number appearing in the MRZ [machine readable zone].... Examples of this type of feature are : encoded data stored on the document in magnetic media such as special security threads; designs incorporating the concealed data which only become detectable when viewed using a specific wavelength of light, optical filters, or a specific image processing software. 1, record 5, English, - data%20feature

Video compression is measured by four basic criteria : compression ratio, picture quality, compression and decompression speeds, and the hardware and software resources required to achieve it. Use of compression with motion video is mandatory, but it also benefits still images, particularly in multimedia applications where the end-user should not be left waiting for things to happen on the screen. Processing of a single image in one second or less is generally acceptable for a still picture, but motion video requires at least 15 fps to produce the effect of smooth movement. 6, record 7, English, - still%20frame

In the Meteorological Products Extraction Facility(MPEF) meteorological products are operationally extracted from METEOSAT image data for use in forecasting and research work. The extraction is performed in an automatic processing scheme and includes an automatic quality control step as an integral part of the processing. The products are produced in near real time on a networked system of HP Apollo workstations running proprietary software. The system runs in "chains" where two workstations operate together to produce all products. Due to the CPU load required to produce the wind products, the processing is partitioned such that these products are generated on one of the chain processors, whilst the remaining products are derived on the other chain processor. 1, record 9, English, - Meteorological%20Products%20Extraction%20Facility
