20110102318 | USER INPUT BY POINTING - Presented is apparatus for capturing user input by pointing at a surface using pointing means. The apparatus comprises: a range camera for producing a depth-image of the pointing means; and a processor. The processor is adapted to determine from the depth-image the position and orientation of a pointing axis of the pointing means; extrapolate from the position and orientation the point of intersection of the axis with the surface; and control an operation based on the location of the point of intersection. | 05-05-2011 |
20110219340 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR POINT, SELECT AND TRANSFER HAND GESTURE BASED USER INTERFACE - A system and method for a point, select and transfer hand gesture based user interface is disclosed. In one embodiment, a depth image of a hand gesture is captured using an in-front camera substantially on a frame by frame basis within a predefined interaction volume. Also, a nearest point of the hand gesture to a display screen of a display device is found using a substantially nearest depth value in the captured depth image for each frame. Further, an image-to-screen mapping of the captured depth image and the found nearest point to the display screen is performed upon validating the found nearest point as associated with the hand for each frame. Moreover, one of select options displayed on the display screen is pointed and selected when the substantially nearest depth value is within one or more predetermined threshold ranges, and based on the outcome of the image-to-screen mapping. | 09-08-2011 |
20120093360 | HAND GESTURE RECOGNITION - Systems, methods, and machine readable and executable instructions are provided for hand gesture recognition. A method for hand gesture recognition can include detecting, with an image input device in communication with a computing device, movement of an object. A hand pose associated with the moving object is recognized and a response corresponding to the hand pose is initiated. | 04-19-2012 |
20140219517 | METHODS, APPARATUSES AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR EFFICIENTLY RECOGNIZING FACES OF IMAGES ASSOCIATED WITH VARIOUS ILLUMINATION CONDITIONS - An apparatus for recognizing faces with different illuminations may include a processor and memory storing executable computer program code causing the apparatus to at least perform operations including detecting and extracting face data of a first candidate face of a first image and a second candidate face of a second image. The first image is associated with a first light intensity and the second image associated with a second light intensity different from the first light intensity. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to analyze face data to determine whether the first candidate face corresponds to an area in the first image that is substantially the same as an area of the second candidate face and evaluate data of the first and second areas to determine whether the first and second candidate faces are valid or invalid faces. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided. | 08-07-2014 |
20140294300 | FACE MATCHING FOR MOBILE DEVICES - A method includes receiving an image of a face to match with images of known faces, extracting blocks multiple blocks from the received image, calculating local binary pattern histograms for each block, generating matching scores for each block against block of the images of known faces, determining a top number, N, of matching scores less than the number of blocks, and matching the received image to an image of a known face as a function of the top number of matching scores. | 10-02-2014 |
20150030987 | FLARE STACK MONITORING - Methods, systems, and computer-readable and executable instructions are described herein. One method includes receiving a sequence of images of a flare stack area from a thermal imaging component, identifying a first portion of the flare stack area moving at a first threshold optical flow using the sequence of images of the flare stack area, and identifying a second portion of the flare stack area moving at a second threshold optical flow using the sequence of images of the flare stack area. | 01-29-2015 |
20150223743 | METHOD FOR MONITORING A HEALTH CONDITION OF A SUBJECT - Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and a computing unit to monitor health condition of a subject. The computing unit receives physiological signals from a plurality of sensors placed on the subject. The computing unit detects a work-type based on the physiological signals received from the plurality of sensors and assigns a weight to each of the plurality of sensors based on the work-type. Thereafter, the computing unit generates a fatigue score using the physiological signals and the weight of the plurality of sensors. The fatigue score indicates the health condition of the subject. | 08-13-2015 |
20150305688 | METHOD OF DETERMINING DISCHARGE READINESS CONDITION FOR A PATIENT AND SYSTEM THEREOF - Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method of determining discharge readiness condition for a patient. The sensors are placed on patient to monitor the physiological condition of the patient and to transmit physiological data to computing device. The patient also provides non-physiological data using mobile device to computing device. The processor configured in computing unit assigns predefined weighted ratio to each of the physiological data and non-physiological data to generate weighted physiological and non-physiological data. The processor generates recovery score using the weighted physiological data and the non-physiological data and compares the recovery score with reference recovery score. The reference recovery score is personalized for each patient using weighted personal reference score and weighted EMR reference score. If recovery score exceeds reference recovery score then patient is ready for discharge else the patient is not ready to be discharged and hence appropriate suggestions are provided to improve recovery score. | 10-29-2015 |
