Of Note

The "Image Preprocessing" applications appear to be related to development of facial recognition technology.

Also, "jelly rolls." Mmmmmm.

Always keep in mind that the claims of patent applications are frequently narrowed during prosecution. There are some very broad proposed claims here, but many will not make it into issued patents.
