Abstract:
A first navigation unit of an apparatus in one example comprises a hybrid global positioning system (GPS) / inertial navigation system (INS) component. The hybrid GPS/INS component provides first GPS information and first INS information for the first navigation unit. The first navigation unit is configured to receive second GPS information and second INS information from a second navigation unit. The second navigation unit comprises a GPS component configured to determine a double-differenced GPS carrier phase measurement through employment of the first GPS information and the second GPS information. The first navigation unit comprises a relative Kalman filter configured to update an INS error estimate for an estimate of a relative position between the first and second navigation units based on the double-differenced GPS carrier phase measurement and the first and second INS information.
Abstract:
A technique for generating an image having multiple hues includes filtering first photons at a first wavelength range using a first input filter section of an input filter, and filtering second photons at a second wavelength range using a second input filter section of the input filter. The first photons are directed towards a tube pixel set of a sensor, and the second photons are directed towards the tube pixel set. The first photons and the second photons are detected at the sensor. The first photons are received using a first output filter section of an output filter, and the second photons are received using a second output filter section of the output filter. An image is generated from the first photons and the second photons.
Abstract:
A system and method is provided for a gesture recognition interface system. The interface system may comprise a first and second light source (16,18) positioned to illuminate a background surface (20). The interface system may also comprise at least one camera (12,14) operative to receive a first plurality of images based on a first reflected light contrast difference between the background surface (20) and a sensorless input object caused by the first light source (16) and a second plurality of images based on a second reflected light contrast difference between the background surface (20) and the sensorless input object caused by the second light source (18). The interface system may further comprise a controller (24) operative to determine a given input gesture based on changes in relative locations of the sensorless input object in the first plurality of images and the second plurality of images. The controller (24) may further be operative to initiate a device input associated with the given input gesture.
Abstract:
A system and method is provided for a collaboration input/output (I/O) system. The collaboration I/O system may comprise a display screen and a gesture image system. The gesture image system may be configured to generate image data associated with a location and an orientation of a first sensorless input object relative to a background surface. The collaboration I/O system may also comprise a transceiver. The transceiver could be configured to transmit the image data to at least one additional collaboration I/O system at at least one remote location. The transceiver can be further configured to receive image data from each of the at least one additional collaboration I/O system, such that the display screen can be configured to display the image data associated with a location and orientation of a sensorless input object associated with each of the at least one additional collaboration I/O system superimposed over a common image of visual data.
