    摘要: A system and method facilitate machine-vision, for example three-dimensional pose estimation for target objects, using one or more images sensors to acquire images of the target object at one or more positions, and to identify features of the target object in the resulting images. A set of equations is set up exploiting invariant physical relationships between features such as constancy of distances, angles, and areas or volumes enclosed by or between features. The set of equations may be solved to estimate a 3D pose. The number of positions may be determined based on the number of image sensors, number of features identified, and/or number of known physical relationships between less than all features. Knowledge of physical relationships between image sensors and/or between features and image sensors may be employed. A robot path may be transformed based on the pose, to align the path with the target object.

    摘要: A method of three-dimensional handling of an object by a robot uses a tool and one camera mounted on the robot and at least six target features which are normal features of the object are selected on the object. The features are used to train the robot in the frame of reference of the object so that when the same object is subsequently located, the robot's path of operation can be quickly transformed into the frame of reference of the object.

    摘要: The present invention provides a system that integrates requests and responses thereto for Operation and Business Support Systems (OSS/BSS) that comprise many discrete and non-inclusive systems with disparate interfaces. The integration of these systems poses a complex problem. Moreover, costs of licenses, maintenance fees, and training for day-to-day use are prohibitively expensive. The present invention is an open and inclusive system that interfaces easily with existing OSS/BSS systems to provide visibility into all network elements and events. It is an advanced, multi-vendor management system designed to increase efficiency and productivity and reduce network administration costs by providing an integrated system for monitoring, troubleshooting, and managing the network. The present invention has as an objective to unite different systems under one common platform. The present invention collects and manipulates information centrally, within a single system, enabling critical data to be shared seamlessly between applications. This provides for Data Consolidation, Data Extendibility, and Reduced Cost. In addition, this solution is robust, as it is expandable and considerate of new systems and technologies as they emerge.
