20150098659 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMAGE RETRIEVAL - An efficient image retrieval method utilizing topological order distance (TOD) algorithm is disclosed. In one aspect, an image recognition method may include steps of receiving one or more input images; extracting one or more key features on the input images; determining an origin and one or more feature points on the key features on the input images; establishing a topological relationship in each dimension between the feature points on the key features; and utilizing the topological relationship in each dimension between the feature points to identify the input images in an image database. Comparing with the conventional image retrieval techniques, the TOD algorithm is advantageous because it is more efficient, scale and rotation invariant, and tolerant to affine and perspective transformation. | 04-09-2015 |
20150013317 | RESPONSIVE THREE-DIMENSIONAL SURFACE CONTROLLER - A system to generate and control a three-dimensional (3D) surface may include a surface supported by a plurality of actuating units, a control center, and a common media tank. The control center may include a movement control assembly that has a plurality of movement control unit, and each movement control unit is configured to control the movement of a corresponding actuating unit. In one embodiment, a predetermined amount of medium, such as air or liquid, is arranged in each actuating unit. The surface can be actually considered an array of small pieces divided from the surface, and supported and actuated by the actuating units. Since the control of the surface is through the control of every single piece thereof, the control of the surface would be more precise if the surface can be divided into more pieces. | 01-15-2015 |
