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 |
20130101155 | CONTROLLER FOR AN IMAGE STABILIZING ORTHOGONAL TRANSFER CHARGE-COUPLED DEVICE - An apparatus includes a video sensing device, a velocity vector estimator (VVE) coupled to the video sensing device, a controller coupled to the velocity vector estimator, and an orthogonal transfer charge-coupled device (OTCCD) coupled to the controller. The video sensing device transmits a plurality of image frames to the velocity vector estimator. The controller receives a location of an object in a current frame, stores locations of the object in one or more previous frames, predicts a motion trajectory and the predicted location of the object on it in a subsequent frame as a function of the locations of the object in the current frame and the one or more previous frames, and transmits the predicted location of the object to the OTCCD. The OTCCD shifts its image array of pixels as a function of the predicted location of the object. | 04-25-2013 |
20130126615 | BAR CODE READERS AND METHODS OF READING BAR CODES - Bar code readers and methods of reading bar codes are described herein. One device includes a camera configured to produce a motion invariant image of a bar code while the bar code is in motion and a processor configured to deblur the motion invariant image of the bar code. | 05-23-2013 |
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 |
20140023240 | IRIS RECOGNITION USING LOCALIZED ZERNIKE MOMENTS - A system receives an iris image and segments the iris region. The segmented iris region is mapped to a unit disk and partitioned into local iris regions (or sectors) as a function of the radius and angle The system calculates localized Zernike moments for a plurality of regions of the unit disk. The localized Zernike moment includes a projection of the local iris region into a space of Zernike polynomial orthogonal basis functions. The system generates an iris feature set from the localized Zernike moments for each partitioned region, excluding the regions which are comprised by occlusion. The iris features are weighted based on the conditions of blur, gaze and occlusion of the iris region. A probe iris image is then matched to a plurality of iris images in a database based on the distance of its feature set to the corresponding plurality of iris feature sets. | 01-23-2014 |
20140125760 | VISUAL SYSTEM HAVING MULTIPLE CAMERAS - A visual system including a near-to-eye display supported by a frame adapted to be worn by a user such that each display is positioned proximate an eye of a wearer, a set of cameras supported by the frame, the cameras having different overlapping fields of view, and a processor coupled to receive images from the cameras and adapted to integrate and transform images from the set of cameras to provide a mosaic image for viewing on the display having a wider field of view than an individual camera provides. | 05-08-2014 |
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 |
20140152530 | MULTIMEDIA NEAR TO EYE DISPLAY SYSTEM - A system and method include receiving video images based on field of view of a wearer of a near to eye display system, analyzing the video images to identify an object in the wearer field of view, generating information as a function of the identified objects, and displaying the information on a display device of the near to eye display system proximate the identified object. | 06-05-2014 |
