20130016883 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANONYMOUS BIOMETRICS ANALYSISAANM Whillock; Rand P.AACI North OaksAAST MNAACO USAAGP Whillock; Rand P. North Oaks MN USAANM Determan; Gary EdwardAACI Maple GroveAAST MNAACO USAAGP Determan; Gary Edward Maple Grove MN USAANM Jacobson; VincentAACI Eden PrairieAAST MNAACO USAAGP Jacobson; Vincent Eden Prairie MN USAANM Venkatesha; SharathAACI Golden ValleyAAST MNAACO USAAGP Venkatesha; Sharath Golden Valley MN USAANM Davalos; PedroAACI PlymouthAAST MNAACO USAAGP Davalos; Pedro Plymouth MN US - A system receives an identification number from a subject. The system retrieves a biometric measurement from a database using the identification number. The database includes biometric measurements of a plurality of subjects. Each biometric measurement is determined from a location of a particular subject's body, each biometric measurement is associated with a particular identification number, and each particular identification number is associated with a particular subject. When the use of the identification number results in a retrieval of a biometric measurement from the biometric database, the system searches a plurality of locations on the subject and takes biometric measurements at the locations, compares the retrieved biometric measurement from the biometric database with the biometric measurements of the subject, and indicates that the retrieved biometric measurement from the biometric database matches one or more of the biometric measurements from the subject or that the retrieved biometric measurement from the biometric database does not match any of the biometric measurements from the subject. In an embodiment, the system is used for verification purposes, not identification purposes. | 01-17-2013 |
20130243268 | FACE IMAGE PRIORITIZATION BASED ON FACE QUALITY ANALYSIS - Methods, machine-readable media, and devices for face image prioritization based on face quality analysis are described herein. For example, one or more embodiments include detecting a facial image in an image that has been acquired by a camera that monitors a scene, passing the facial image through a number of quality analysis filters that include a number of quality analysis factors, wherein processing complexity associated with the number of quality analysis factors increases consecutively, and submitting the facial image to a facial recognition program upon a determination that the facial image has passed the number of quality analysis filters. | 09-19-2013 |
20130257622 | PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT VERIFICATION - Systems, methods, and computer-readable and executable instructions are provided for detecting a use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Detecting a use of PPE can include collecting contact data from a number of touch sensitive sensors attached to the PPE. Furthermore, detecting a use of PPE can include determining if the PPE is in proper use based on the collected contact data. | 10-03-2013 |
20130282609 | IMAGE RECOGNITION FOR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT COMPLIANCE ENFORCEMENT IN WORK AREAS - A method comprises receiving one or more images of a person from one or more image capture devices in response to an input, identifying one or more items of personal protective equipment in the one or more images, determining the positioning of the one or more items of personal protective equipment relative to the person in the one or more images, and verifying compliance with personal protective equipment standards based on the one or more identified items of personal protective equipment and the positioning of the one or more items of personal protective equipment. | 10-24-2013 |
20130342653 | CARGO SENSING - Cargo presence detection systems and methods are described herein. One cargo presence detection system includes one or more sensors positioned in an interior space of a container, and arranged to provide spatial data about at least a portion of the interior space of the container and a detection component that receives the spatial data from the one or more sensors and identifies if one or more cargo items are present in the interior space of the container based on analysis of the spatial data. | 12-26-2013 |
20140036072 | CARGO SENSING - Cargo presence detection devices, systems, and methods are described herein. One cargo presence detection system includes one or more sensors positioned in an interior space of a container, and arranged to collect background image data about at least a portion of the interior space of the container and updated image data about the portion of the interior space of the container and a detection component that receives the image data from the one or more sensors and identifies if one or more cargo items are present in the interior space of the container based on analysis of the background and updated image data. | 02-06-2014 |
20140138441 | COLOR MICRO BAR CODE MARKER AND SYSTEM - A micro marker is formed of geometric features having various colors to apply to an object. The micro marker includes a background having a first color, multiple localization features formed on the background having a second color, and multiple information encoding features, each information encoding feature having a color selected from multiple colors to represent digital values, the information encoding features being arranged proximate the localization features on the background. | 05-22-2014 |
20140297238 | SYSTEM FOR OBTAINING AND CLASSIFYING ENERGY CHARACTERISTICS - An approach and system for receiving data from a thermostat in a building, treating the data as representative of a thermal response model or system, and determining a relationship between a rate of building internal temperature change and change in outdoor temperature to provide an indication of how well a building is insulated versus a thermal mass of the building. | 10-02-2014 |
