Abstract:
A system and method for metadata processing that can be used to encode an arbitrary number of security policies for code running on a stored-program processor. This disclosure adds metadata to every word in the system and adds a metadata processing unit that works in parallel with data flow to enforce an arbitrary set of policies, such that metadata is unbounded and software programmable to be applicable to a wide range of metadata processing policies. This instant disclosure is applicable to a wide range of uses including safety, security, and synchronization.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for filtered image data recovery using lookback include storing first, second, and third data captures received from the image sensor in a first memory component and a second memory component. The methods and systems also include identifying a second detection in the second data capture and a third detection in the third data capture by filtering the first, second, and third data captures. The second detection and the third detection each exceed a pixel intensity threshold. The methods and systems also include correlating the second detection and the third detection to identify at least one track. The methods and systems also include detecting a first detection in the first data capture stored in the second memory component, the first detection being a pixel intensity value that is less than the threshold or an initiation event having a pixel intensity value that is less than the threshold.
Abstract:
A system and method of aligning an accessory's aim point to an aim point of a device are disclosed. In one embodiment, an aim point that can be viewed through a weapon sight is projected from a device mounted on a weapon. Further, an accessory aim point is projected on the weapon sight by an accessory device that is mounted on the weapon in front of the weapon sight. Furthermore, the accessory aim point is pre-mission aligned to the aim point of the device by electronically adjusting a position of the accessory aim point to align with the aim point of the device on the weapon sight.
Abstract:
Systems and methods provide adaptability in a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), based on an existing protocol, such as adaptive hybrid domain routing (AHDR). The systems and methods are especially suited for fast changing topologies that may change after a reactive route discovery has been completed.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for video image recovery from transient blockage or corruption artifacts include receiving first and second data captures from an image sensor having first and second pluralities of pixel intensity values corresponding to pixel locations of the first and second data captures. The methods, systems, and computer readable media also include identifying in the second data capture, one or more of the second pixel intensity values exceeding a contrast threshold to detect a transient blockage. The methods, systems, and computer readable media also include replacing the one or more of the second pixel intensity values exceeding the contrast threshold with one or more of the first pixel intensity values to generate a corrected data capture.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for non-stationary image sensor frame registration include receiving a data capture from an image sensor in motion, spatially filtering at least one pixel intensity value within the data capture to create a spatially filtered image, predictively differencing a filtered pixel intensity value of the spatially filtered image from a predicted intensity value, and generating a predictively differenced image based on the predictive differencing.
Abstract:
A system and method for dynamically planning a network is presented. One method may begin by determining network parameters for connecting nodes to a network and decision variables associated with radios and/or nodes in the network. Constraints may be established to narrow possible values of the network parameters and/or the decision variables. The constraints may be based on one or more of: values associated with connecting a radio to a node in the network, values associated with connecting two nodes in the network together over a communication link, whether a node can connect to a GIG node and a flow balance in the GIG node. To find possible links in the network that are optimal, the method may minimize an equation based on the network parameters, constraints and decision variables to determine optimal communication links between pairs of nodes in the network, pairs of nodes and radios and/or pairs of radios.
