20100198775 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ESTIMATING VEGETATION GROWTH RELATIVE TO AN OBJECT OF INTEREST - A method for estimating vegetation growth relative to an object of interest is disclosed. A target vegetation is identified from a second sensing dataset. A corresponding target vegetation is identified in a first sensing dataset, the first sensing dataset collected at a time before the second sensing dataset. A first statistic is attributed to the corresponding target vegetation based on a distance of one or more points of the corresponding target vegetation in the first sensing dataset relative to the object of interest. A second statistic is attributed to the target vegetation based on a distance of one or more points of the target vegetation in the second sensing dataset relative to the object of interest. An encroachment rate is determined from a comparison of the first statistic and the second statistic. | 08-05-2010 |

20160098820 | SYSTEM FOR ROBUST DENOISING OF IMAGES - The invention produces a higher quality image from a rendering system based on a relationship between the output of a rendering system and the parameters used to compute them. We propose a method that robustly combines color and feature buffers to denoise Monte Carlo renderings. On one hand, feature buffers, such as per pixel normals, textures, or depth, are effective in determining denoising filters because features are highly correlated with rendered images. Filters based solely on features, however, are prone to blurring image details that are not well represented by the features. On the other hand, color buffers represent all details, but they may be less effective to determine filters because they are contaminated by the noise that is supposed to be removed. We propose to obtain filters using a combination of color and feature buffers in an NL-means and cross-bilateral filtering framework. We determine a robust weighting of colors and features using a SURE-based error estimate. We show significant improvements in subjective and quantitative errors compared to the previous state-of-the-art. We also demonstrate adaptive sampling and space-time filtering for animations. | 04-07-2016 |

20110185367 | Implementing request/reply programming semantics using publish/subscribe middleware - A request/reply middleware wrapper that transposes an application's request/reply communications into publish/subscribe communications implemented by publish/subscribe middleware where every distributed application component of a distributed application is referenced by a component type and name. Each component type has associated with it a request publish/subscribe topic and a reply publish/subscribe topic. Each distributed application component subscribes to its request and reply topics and can publish to request and reply topics of other component types. By utilizing callback objects, the middleware wrapper facilitates the transmission of a request and replies between distributed application components by posting the requests or replies on an appropriate request or reply publish/subscribe topic. | 07-28-2011 |
