Abstract:
The present disclosure describes a method in which an encrypted request to transfer a requested amount of cryptocurrency from a user address to a destination address is received. The request includes a destination address, a requested amount, a user device encryption key, and biometric data. A partially signed transaction to transfer a requested amount of cryptocurrency from the user address to the destination address is also received. The partially signed transaction is cryptographically signed and a multi-signed transaction is broadcast to a cryptocurrency network to transfer the requested amount of cryptocurrency from the user address to the destination address.

Abstract:
A set of instructions stored on at least one computer readable medium for running on a computer system. The set of instructions includes instructions for identifying line segments of a roof that is preferably displayed within a geo-referenced image, instructions for determining three-dimensional information of the line segments including position, orientation and length of the line segments preferably utilizing the geo-referenced image, and instructions for classifying, automatically, at least one of the line segments as one of a plurality of predefined roof elements utilizing at least one of the relative position and orientation of the line segments.
Abstract:
A method of automatically transforming a computerized 3D model having regions of images utilized as textures on one or more physical objects represented in the 3D model (such as building sides and roofs, walls, landscapes, mountain sides, trees and the like) to include material property information for one or more regions of the textures of the 3D model. In this method, image textures applied to the 3D model are examined by comparing, utilizing a computer, at least a portion of each image texture to entries in a palette of material entries. The material palette entry that best matches the one contained in the image texture is assigned to indicate a physical material of the physical object represented by the 3D model. Then, material property information is stored in the computerized 3D model for the image textures that are assigned a material palette entry.
Abstract:
A dispensing system for liquid materials comprising a container, a dispensing assembly, a cap member, and base material. The container defines a primary opening, a secondary opening, and a product chamber. The dispensing assembly is selectively attached to the container to cover the primary opening. The cap member is selectively attached to the container to cover the secondary opening. The base material is introduced into the product chamber through the secondary opening. The base material is dispensed from the product chamber through the primary opening using the dispensing assembly.
Abstract:
A system and method for producing spectrally segmented images of object fields (16). In one embodiment the system includes an optical system (4) that focuses light received from an object field (16) along a focal plane with a field stop (20) positioned within the optical system (4) that has plural apertures for selectively transmitting the light from the object field (16). A diffractive element (24) is positioned within the optical system (4) to spectrally spread, along the focal plane, the light transmitted through the apertures. The apertures can be parallel slots (60) or geometrically arranges holes (106). The plural apertures are spaced such that the spectrally spread light transmitted through any given aperture and incident upon the focal plane does not overlap on the focal plane with the light transmitted through any other aperture. The diffractive element (24) may spread light across one or more directions. In one embodiment, a processor (8) is coupled to a plurality of pixels in a focal plane array (6). A memory (10) for storing image data organized as a hyper-spectral cube.
Abstract:
Image capture systems and methods may include one or more video capture devices capable of capturing one or more video frames. The video frames may include geographic position data and orientation data associated therewith, and may be stored on one or more non-transient computer readable medium. The computer system may marshal each video frame to one or more processors from a bank of processors for geo-referencing and overlaying of geographic information system (GIS) data on the video frames in real time.
Abstract:
A computer system for continuously panningoblique images. More particularly, the computer system uses a methodology whereby separate oblique images are presented in a manner that allows a user to maintain an understanding of the relationship of specific features between different oblique images when panning.

Abstract:
A method for creating an oblique-mosaic image from a plurality of source images is disclosed. Initially, a desired area to be imaged and collected into an oblique-mosaic image is identified (18) and then a mathematical model of a sensor of a virtual camera (20) is created (22), where the virtual camera has an elevation greater than an elevation of the area to be imaged. The mathematical model has an oblique-mosaic pixel map for the sensor of the desired area. A surface location is determined for each pixel included in the oblique mosaic pixel map (24), and at least one source oblique image pixel of the area to be imaged is reprojected for each pixel included in the oblique-mosaic pixel map to thereby create an oblique- mosaic image of the desired geographical area (26). Further, techniques for compensating for building lean in oblique- mosaic images are disclosed (28).
