摘要： A gas concentration-length quantification method may include: acquiring a multi-spectral image of detected radiance including a plurality of pixels using a multi-spectral optical gas imaging camera; estimating a background radiance for at least one of the pixels; calculating a gas concentration-length for the at least one of the pixels based on the detected radiance and the estimated background radiance; and triggering an alert when each alert condition in a list of alert conditions is satisfied. A multi-spectral configuration of the camera may include a reference band that is outside an absorption window of a target gas and an active band that includes at least a portion of the absorption window. Estimating the background radiance may include determining a model relating a detected radiance of the active band to a detected radiance of the reference band and using the model to estimate the background radiance for the active band.

摘要： In a color correction method, a reference area is selected in a document page, which is rendered to produce image data. The reference area can be a company logo, a letter or character in a line of text, or other graphic object. The reference area need not be a set calibration chart. The image data is used by a projector to display the document page on a screen. Ambient light may cause colors in the displayed document page to be noticeably different from the intended colors specified in the document page. A camera takes a picture of the displayed document page, and a target area is identified in the camera image based on a characteristic of the reference area that was previously selected. Corrected image data is generated based on a color difference between the reference area and the target area. The projector uses the corrected image data to display the document page, this time with colors that are closer to or the same as the intended colors. The cycle may be repeated on the next document page, in which case the reference and target areas may differ from those of the previous cycle.

摘要： A method, a system, and a non-transitory computer readable program code are disclosed for authenticating users for services. The method includes registering one or more users in an authentication system; assigning a score index to each of the one or more users in the authentication system for one or more services, the score index representing a security level and corresponding authentication required to access each of the one or more services; inputting each request for services from the one or more users into the authentication system to continuously update the score index for each of the one or more users, each of the requests including one or more authenticators or biometric identifiers for the requested service; and requesting the one or more users to register one or more additional authenticators or biometric identifiers with the authentication system upon the score index for a user reaching of a predefined threshold value.

摘要： A method is disclosed for generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of a target object. The method includes obtaining one or more image capture settings and capturing, using the one or more image capture settings, a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) images each including at least a portion of a coded target and at least a portion of the target object. The method further includes transmitting the plurality of 2D images to a model generation server and generating, by the model generation server based on the plurality of 2D images, the 3D model of the target object and one or more model characteristics of the 3D model.

摘要： Tamper detection on an article is performed by reading data from an RFID tag having an antenna with segments designed to break apart. The RFID tag is secured to the article in such a way that, when the article is tampered with, the antenna segments will break apart. Detachment would decrease the reading range of the RFID tag. An RFID reader may be used to read the data from the RFID tag. The predefined reading range (Rp) of the RFID tag, with antenna segments entact, is obtained from the data which was read by the RFID reader. The RFID reader obtains the data while located at an actual reading range (Ra) relative to the RFID tag. By comparing Ra with Rp, it is determined whether the antenna is still entact. If Ra

摘要： A method is provided for generating a status report including risk assessment based on Natural Language Processing (NLP). The method includes: receiving a task status that includes a line of text; parsing the line of text to generate a mark-up version of the line of text; calculating a sentence score of the mark-up version of the line of text; calculating an overall score of the task status based on the sentence score; storing the task status including the mark-up version of the line of text and the sentence and overall score; receiving a status report generation request that includes a search criteria; retrieving the task status and the sentence and overall scores associated with the search criteria; calculating a highlighting color of the task status based on the sentence score; and generating the status report including a highlighted task status based on the highlighting color and the task status.

摘要： A method is provided for manufacturing a three-dimensional printed (3D-printed) object. The method includes: depositing first threads separated by gaps in a first run of a first layer; depositing second threads in a second run of the first layer, and the second threads fill the gaps between the first threads and create a plurality of first-layer vertical interfaces along a length of each of the first threads; depositing third threads separated by gaps in a first run of a second layer; and depositing fourth threads in a second run of the second layer, and the fourth threads fill the gaps between the third threads and create a plurality of second-layer vertical interfaces along a length of each of the third threads. The second layer is deposited on top of the first layer so that one or more of the first-layer vertical interfaces do not overlap with the second-layer vertical interfaces.

摘要： A wound assessment method which can estimate a moisture level of the wound, and related image capture device. The wound area is imaged at least twice where the wound is illuminated under different illumination light intensities. The first image captured using a relatively low illumination light intensity is analyzed to assess the wound, for example measuring its size, color and texture. The second image captures using a relatively high illumination light intensity (e.g. using a flash) is analyzed to estimate the moisture level of the wound. The moisture level estimation method extracts white connected components from the second image, and estimates the moisture level based on the number, sizes, and centroid distribution of the white connected components. A 3D image of the wound may also be captured, e.g. using a structured-light 3D scanner of the image capture device.
