20150071547 | Automated Selection Of Keeper Images From A Burst Photo Captured Set - Systems and methods for improving automatic selection of keeper images from a commonly captured set of images are described. A combination of image type identification and image quality metrics may be used to identify one or more images in the set as keeper images. Image type identification may be used to categorize the captured images into, for example, three or more categories. The categories may include portrait, action, or “other.” Depending on the category identified, the images may be analyzed differently to identify keeper images. For portrait images, an operation may be used to identify the best set of faces. For action images, the set may be divided into sections such that keeper images selected from each section tell the story of the action. For the “other” category, the images may be analyzed such that those having higher quality metrics for an identified region of interest are selected. | 03-12-2015 |

20130172060 | RACING VEHICLE GAME - A method and apparatus for controlling the position of a vehicle on a track so as to provide a slotless racing vehicle game is described. The method involves measuring the lateral position of the vehicle on the track so as to minimise the distance with a user defined lateral position. A measured velocity of the vehicle is then feedback to a steering servo in order to stabilise the vehicle's position at the desired lateral position. In particular, the gain of a controller that generates the input signal for the steering servo is varied with the reciprocal of the square of the speed of the vehicle. | 07-04-2013 |
20150129669 | RACING VEHICLE GAME - A track for a racing car game is described. The width of the track is formed so as to exhibit an optically graded lateral profile that is maintained along the length of the track. The optically graded profile thus provides a means for allocating each lateral position of the track with a unique level of reflectivity. In this way the level of light reflected onto a detector from a vehicle associated light source corresponds to a unique lateral position, and thus provides a diagnostic for determining the lateral position of the vehicle on the track and for maintaining this lateral position along the full length of the track. The track may therefore be considered to comprise a plurality of virtual slots for the vehicle between which the vehicle can easily move and the choice of which is determined by the vehicle's operator. | 05-14-2015 |
20150133205 | RACING VEHICLE GAME - A method and apparatus for controlling the position of a vehicle on a track so as to provide a slotless racing vehicle game is described. The method involves generating within a primary feedback loop a first input signal for a steering servo of the vehicle so as to minimise an error signal produced by comparing a measured lateral position of the vehicle on the track with its desired position. The method further comprises generating within a secondary feedback loop a second input signal for the steering servo so as minimise a measured angle of orientation of the vehicle on the track. It is found to be advantageous for the stability of the vehicle on the track if responsivity (Klf2) of the secondary feedback loop is set to be equal to the reciprocal of the responsivity (Kss) of the steering servo. | 05-14-2015 |

20090150165 | ENCODING AND DETECTING APPARATUS - An encoding data processing apparatus generates a marked version of an audio signal provided on an audio channel. The marked copy is generated by embedding data representative of a payload data word into the audio signal. The encoding data processing apparatus comprises a code word generator operable to generate a water mark code word from the payload data word and to read data representing the water mark code word into a shuffle data store. A shuffle processor is operable to generate pseudo randomly at least one address within an address space of the shuffle data store for each predetermined period and to read data representing part or parts of the water mark code word out from the data store at locations identified by the randomly generated address, and a data embedding processor operable to receive the audio signal and to embed the data representing the part or parts of the water mark code word read out from the shuffle data store into the audio signal for each predetermined period. In one example, the audio signal is one of a plurality of audio signals, each of which is provided on one of a plurality of audio channels of a media item, and the marked copy is generated by embedding the part or parts of the data representative of a payload data word into the audio signal of one or more of the audio channels. As such, even though different parts of the water mark code word may be embedded into the different audio channels, because of the pseudo-random generation of addresses, there is an increased likelihood that if there is a sufficient of the marked audio signal available, then the water mark code word can be recovered from the different audio channels or one of the audio channels. | 06-11-2009 |
