| 20080303908 | MOVING IMAGER CAMERA FOR TRACK AND RANGE CAPTURE - A precision motion platform carrying an imaging device under a large-field-coverage lens enables capture of high resolution imagery over the full field in an instantaneous telephoto mode and wide-angle coverage through temporal integration. The device permits automated tracking and scanning without movement of a camera body or lens. Coupled use of two or more devices enables automated range computation without the need for subsequent epipolar rectification. The imager motion enables sample integration for resolution enhancement. The control methods for imager positioning enable decreasing the blur caused by both the motion of the moving imager or the motion of an object's image that the imager is intended to capture. | 12-11-2008 |

| 20090136091 | DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A powerful, scaleable, and reconfigurable image processing system and method of processing data therein is described. This general purpose, reconfigurable engine with toroidal topology, distributed memory, and wide bandwidth I/O are capable of solving real applications at real-time speeds. The reconfigurable image processing system can be optimized to efficiently perform specialized computations, such as real-time video and audio processing. This reconfigurable image processing system provides high performance via high computational density, high memory bandwidth, and high I/O bandwidth. Generally, the reconfigurable image processing system and its control structure include a homogeneous array of 16 field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) and 16 static random access memories (SRAM) arranged in a partial torus configuration. The reconfigurable image processing system also includes a PCI bus interface chip, a clock control chip, and a datapath chip. It can be implemented in a single board. It receives data from its external environment, computes correspondence, and uses the results of the correspondence computations for various post-processing industrial applications. The reconfigurable image processing system determines correspondence by using non-parametric local transforms followed by correlation. These non-parametric local transforms include the census and rank transforms. Other embodiments involve a combination of correspondence, rectification, a left-right consistency check, and the application of an interest operator. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090245617 | System and method for processing image data - Embodiments of the present invention recite a system for providing product consulting using a transmitted image. In one embodiment, the present invention comprises an image capture device for capturing an image of a user and a reference color set. In embodiments of the present invention, the image capture device does not require a provided infrastructure when capturing the image. The system further comprises a categorizing system for determining at least one data category from data comprising the image. A result generator generates a result based upon the determining of the categorizing system. The system further comprises a result reporting system for conveying the product consultation to the user when the result is conveyed. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20090079746 | SWITCHING BETWEEN GRAPHICS SOURCES TO FACILITATE POWER MANAGEMENT AND/OR SECURITY - One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that switches between frame buffers which are used to refresh a display. During operation, the system refreshes the display from a first frame buffer which is located in a first memory. Upon receiving a request to switch frame buffers for the display, the system reconfigures data transfers to the display so that the display is refreshed from a second frame buffer which is located in a second memory. | 03-26-2009 |

| 20080198745 | Dynamic multi-hop negotiations - Negotiation of RSVP reservations prior to the setup of a call, rather than negotiating reservation parameters during the call. RSVP reservation parameters are negotiated prior to ringing a device, rather than after. In some embodiments, this is achieved by including information in the initial call signaling elements. This added information allows negotiation with each device in the proposed data path to determine, prior to ringing the terminating device in the data path, whether each of the devices can support the proposed data link. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080304565 | REDUCING THE NETWORK LOAD OF EVENT-TRIGGERED VIDEO - In one embodiment, a method for reducing the network load of an event-triggered video system comprising transmitting a first ‘play’ indication by a controlling process over a data network, to an appropriately configured video encoding process, transmitting first video data by the encoding process in response to receiving the first ‘play’ indication, the first video data being transmitted over the data network through a communication channel established over the data network between the encoding process and a recording process and receiving the first video data by the recording process. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090204812 | MEDIA PROCESSING - In an example embodiment, an apparatus comprising a communication interface configured to be in data communication with another device, and processing logic that is operably coupled to the communication interface. The processing logic is operable to process a packet received via the communication interface, the packet comprising a header and a payload. The processing logic is configured to acquire information about the contents of the payload from the header. For example, the processing logic can determine from the header of the packet whether the payload contains sensitive data; contains analytic, video, and/or audio data; and/or whether the payload is encrypted. | 08-13-2009 |
