20150278600 | DISPLAYING RELATIVE MOTION OF OBJECTS IN AN IMAGE - In a method for visualizing motion of an object in an image, at least two images, including a first image and a second image, wherein each of the at least two images includes an object are received. One or more processors determine a first distance value for the object in the first image and a second distance value for the object in the second image, wherein each distance value is based on a distance between the object and an image capturing device. One or more processors compare the first distance value to the second distance value to determine a difference between the first distance value and the second distance value. One or more processors generate an indication based on the determined difference between the first distance value and the second distance value. | 10-01-2015 |

20080253611 | Analyst cueing in guided data extraction - The Analyst Cueing method addresses the issues of locating desired targets of interest from among very large datasets in a timely and efficient manner. The combination of computer aided methods for classifying targets and cueing a prioritized list for an analyst produces a robust system for generalized human-guided data mining. Incorporating analyst feedback adaptively trains the computerized portion of the system in the identification and labeling of targets and regions of interest. This system dramatically improves analyst efficiency and effectiveness in processing data captured from a wide range of deployed sensor types. | 10-16-2008 |

20080243439 | Sensor exploration and management through adaptive sensing framework - The identification and tracking of objects from captured sensor data relies upon statistical modeling methods to sift through large data sets and identify items of interest to users of the system. Statistical modeling methods such as Hidden Markov Models in combination with particle analysis and Bayesian statistical analysis produce items of interest, identify them as objects, and present them to users of the system for identification feedback. The integration of a training component based upon the relative cost of sampling sensors for additional parameters, provides a system that can formulate and present policy decisions on what objects should be tracked, leading to an improvement in continuous data collection and tracking of identified objects within the sensor data set. | 10-02-2008 |
20100238999 | Methods and Apparatus for Video Decoding - Techniques for performing the processing of blocks of video in multiple stages. Each stage is executed for blocks of data in the frame that need to go through that stage, based on the coding type, before moving to the next stage. This order of execution allows blocks of data to be processed in a nonsequential order, unless the blocks need to go through the same processing stages. Multiple processing elements (PEs) operating in SIMD mode executing the same task and operating on different blocks of data may be utilized, avoiding idle times for the PEs. In another aspect, inverse scan and dequantization operations for blocks of data are merged in a single procedure operating on multiple PEs operating in SIMD mode. This procedure makes efficient use of the multiple PEs and speeds up processing by combining two operations, inverse scan (reordering) and dequantization, which load the execution units differently. The reordering loads mainly the load and store units of the PEs, while the dequantization loads mainly other units. By combining the inverse scan and dequantization in an efficient VLIW packing performance, processing gain is achieved. | 09-23-2010 |
