Abstract

A device for detecting and marking differences between two substrates, such as images or written text. The device has an image capturing device that is in communication with image recognition software. Images of a secondary images are analyzed and compared to a primary image to detect differences between the two. Once a difference is detected, the device automatically disperses a marking material in the proximity of the detected difference.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A device for detecting differences between two images, comprising:
a digital memory device configured to store a primary image;
an image capturing device, the image capturing device comprising a lens and configured to capture a secondary image;
an image recognition system analyze the secondary image to detect a difference between the primary image and the secondary image;
a moveable arm, the moveable arm deployable to move to an area on the secondary image where a difference was detected;
an action head provided on the movable arm; and
software configured to control the moveable arm, whereby the software directs the action head to an area on the secondary image where a difference is detected.

2. The device of claim 1 , further comprising marking material to mark an area on the secondary image where a difference was detected.

3. The device of claim 2 , whereby the action head provided on the moveable arm is configured to deposit marking material on the secondary image at the area where a difference is detected.

4. The device of claim 2 , whereby the marking material comprises an aerosol material that may be dispensed from the action head.

5. The device of claim 2 , whereby the marking material comprises a marking pen.

6. The device of claim 1 , whereby the primary image is an aerial photograph.

7. The device of claim 1 , whereby a difference comprises any one of an addition of a new image area in the secondary image as compared to the primary image, removal of an image area in the secondary image as compared to the primary image, and a change in color in an area in the secondary image as compared to the primary image.

8. The device of claim 1 , whereby the system is configured to detect a difference between primary image and the secondary image that exceeds a predetermined threshold value.

9. The device of claim 1 , whereby the primary image is an image of a first written or printed text.

10. The device of claim 9 , whereby the secondary image is an image of a second written or printed text.

11. The device of claim 9 , whereby the system detects any one of a an insertion, deletion or misformation of a letter in the second written or printed text.

12. The device of claim 11 , whereby the action head is configured to automatically deposit marking material on an area of the secondary image comprising any one of an insertion, deletion or misformation of a letter in the second written or printed text.
