摘要:
Aspects of the present invention include systems and methods for segmentation and recognition of action primitives. In embodiments, a framework, referred to as the Continuous Linear Dynamic System (CLDS), comprises two sets of Linear Dynamic System (LDS) models, one to model the dynamics of individual primitive actions and the other to model the transitions between actions. In embodiments, the inference process estimates the best decomposition of the whole sequence into continuous alternating between the two set of models, using an approximate Viterbi algorithm. In this way, both action type and action boundary may be accurately recognized.

This invention relates to a method and device for computer system performance analysis. All instructions are split into clusters based on significant offset gaps in top-down processing steps. Comments on instruction clusters can be generated automatically or can be edited manually. The comments can be shared among users for the achievement of portability. Significant clusters can be recognized as hotspots based on predetermined metrics.

Herein is presented a catadioptric projector by combining a commodity digital projector with additional optical units. By using specially shaped reflectors and/or refractors, a catadioptric projector can offer an unprecedented level of flexibility in aspect ratio, size, and field of view. Also presented, are methods to reduce projection artifacts in catadioptric projectors, such as distortions, scattering, and defocusing. By analysis of projection defocus of reflector and thin refractor based catadioptric projectors, it is shown that defocus blur can be interpreted as spatially-varying Gaussian blurs on an input image. Kernels are measured directly from a light transport matrix, T, and de-convolution is applied to optimize an input image. Practical uses of catadioptric projectors in panoramic and omni-directional projections are also demonstrated.
摘要:
A watermarking system uses two distinct bit patterns to identify three distinct bits, a logic 0 bit, a logic 1 bit, and a marker bit that demarcates message block boundaries. A correct orientation is determining by rotating the input image by 90 degrees and determining which orientation renders the greatest number of valid bits. Bit mapping is used from block to block to predefine a shifting starting position for a watermark message within consecutive message blocks.

Aspects of the present invention include systems and methods for forming generative models, for utilizing those models, or both. In embodiments, an object model fitting system can be developed comprising a 3D active appearance model (AAM) model. The 3D AAM comprises an appearance model comprising a set of subcomponent appearance models that is constrained by a 3D shape model. In embodiments, the 3D AAM may be generated using a balanced set of training images. The object model fitting system may further comprise one or more manifold constraints, one or more weighting factors, or both. Applications of the present invention include, but are not limited to, modeling and/or fitting face images, although the teachings of the present invention can be applied to modeling/fitting other objects.

摘要:
Supervised kernel nonnegative matrix factorization generates a descriptive part-based representation of data, based on the concept of kernel nonnegative matrix factorization (kernel NMF) aided by the discriminative concept of graph embedding. An iterative procedure that optimizes suggested formulation based on Pareto optimization is presented. The present formulation removes any dependence on combined optimization schemes.
摘要:
Graph embedding is incorporated into nonnegative matrix factorization, NMF, while using the original formulation of graph embedding. Negative values are permitted in the definition of graph embedding without violating the nonnegative requirement of NMF. The factorized matrices of NMF are found by an iterative process.

Embodiments of the present invention enable compression and decompression of data. Applications of the present invention are its use in embodiments of systems for compression and decompression of GPS long-term Ephemeris (LTE) data, although the present invention is not limited to such applications. In embodiments, the LTE data may be grouped into a set of data values associated with a parameter. In embodiments, a data set may be compressed by using a multi-order differencing scheme. In such a scheme, a set of the differences between values may be compressed because the differences have smaller magnitudes than the values. In embodiments, a multi-order differencing scheme determines how many levels (orders) of differencing may be applied to an original data set before it is compressed. In embodiments, the original data may be recovered from a compressed data set based on the type of multi-order differencing scheme used to generate the compressed data.
摘要:
A panoramic 3D image is created by using multiple projectors whose field-of-view is narrower than the screen's width. Each projector provides a different image of a common subject from a different view angle, and the different images are mosaiced onto the screen. An observer may have a limited view of the composite image depending on which projectors are within the observer's field-of-view. A viewing volume is also extended by using space beyond a far limit line dependent upon the observer's inter-pupillary distance, the width of each projector's viewing window, and the distance from the projection baseline to the screen
摘要:
Multiple filters of a bilateral filter are decoupled to form into multple linear filtering operations, which permits faster processing. The bilateral filter is re-presented as an approximate bilateral filter, and subjected to a logarithm whose resultant components are further subjected to a series of Jensen approximations. The errors resulting from each Jensen approximation are collected into a single cumulative error factor, and it is then shown that the cumulative error may be ignored without adversed affect to the result. Thus, the original bilateral filter may be implemented as log(y0)=log(2−ΣgjKj)+log(ΣKjfj)+log(ΣKjgj).
