A method and system tracks objects using a surveillance database storing events acquired by a set of sensors and sequences of images acquired by a set of cameras. Sequences of temporally and spatially adjacent events sensed by the set of sensors are linked to form a set of tracklets and stored in the database. Each tracklet has endpoints being either a track-start, track-join, tracklet-merge or tracklet-end node. A subset of sensors is selected, and a subset of tracklets associated with the subset of sensors is identified. A single starting tracklet is selected. All sequences of tracklets temporally and spatially adjacent to the starting tracklet are aggregated to construct a tracklet graph. The track-join nodes and the track-split nodes are disambiguated and eliminated from the track graph to determine a track of the object in the environment.

In a virtualized computer system, a network frame is transmitted from a virtual machine using a network interface device, possibly through a virtual switch, by copying only a part of the network frame to the transmit buffers that have pre-translated mappings from guest physical addresses to hypervisor virtual addresses and to machine addresses. The length of the part of the network frame that is copied to the transmit buffers may be variable.

This invention deals with an advanced Real-time Grid Monitoring System (RTGMS) suitable for both single-phase and three-phase electric power systems. This invention provides an essential signal processing block to be used as a part of complex systems either focused on supervising and diagnosing power systems or devoted to control power processors interacting with the grid. This invention is based on a new algorithm very suitable for real-time characterization of the grid variables under distorted and unbalanced grid conditions. The main characteristic of this invention is the usage of a frequency-locked loop, based on detecting the grid frequency, for synchronizing to the grid variables. It results in a very robust system response in relation to existing technique based on the phase-angle detection since grid frequency is much more stable variable than the grid voltage/current phase-angle, mainly during grid faults. Moreover, the algorithm supporting this invention is very efficient and can be implemented in regular industrial microprocessors. These features make the RTGMS object of this invention ideal to be applied in the control of distributed generation systems (DGS), flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS), power quality conditioners (PQC) and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). In all these systems, the fast and precise real time detection of the voltage and/or current sequence components under grid fault conditions is a crucial matter.

In an automatic fingerprint authentication or identification system, the fingerprint image acquisition is severely effected by the limitations of the acquisition process. The two modes of input, viz. scanning inked fingerprints from paper records or directly from a finger using live-scan fingerprint scanners suffer from the following noise sources in the input in addition to standard noise in the camera. Non-uniform ink application, uneven pressure while rolling on the paper or pressing on the scanner surface and external dirt like oil and climatic variations in the moisture content of skin are some of the main causes for the ridges and valleys not to be imaged clearly. This invention deals with a method of learning a set of partitioned least-sqaures filters that can be derived from a given set of images and ground truth pairs as an offline process. The learned filters are convolved with input fingerprint images to obtain the enhanced image.

A method and system tracks models and predict object movement in an environment. Sequences of temporally and spatially adjacent events sensed by the set of sensors are linked to form a set of tracklets. Each tracklet has an associated starting and terminating location. The tracklets are used to construct a directed graph including starting nodes, terminating nodes, and, intermediate nodes connected by edges. The intermediate nodes can be split nodes where tracklets diverge onto different tracks, and join nodes where multiple tracklets converge onto a single path. Probabilities are assigned to the edges to model and predict movement of the objects in the environment.

The invention belongs to the technical field of video target tracking, and provides an online video target tracking method based on depth cross similarity matching. The method comprises the followingsteps of designing a depth feature cross similarity module, capturing all local similarity information of a template and a sample, wherein obtained similar features are no longer sensitive to displacement and deformation; designing a similarity attention layer, distributing weight coefficients for cross similarity results of different spatial positions, and enabling a tracking algorithm not to respond to edge background interference; and designing a loss function containing a parameter regularization item, and rapidly optimizing the parameter to an optimal value. Based on the above three-pointbasic scheme, the deep learning twin network based on matching is used as a basic framework, and any target in the video is tracked in a precise and robust manner. From the tracking effect, the method provided by the invention has the capabilities of distinguishing similar objects, re-identifying a reappearing target after shielding and coping with rotation and deformation, and can be applied tovideo applications such as automatic driving of a front scene, autonomous flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle, traffic or a safety monitoring video and the like.

A computer system that implements a quality of service policy. Information defining the quality of service policy is stored in a central location, such as a server within an enterprise. Policy management software on clients in the network download quality of service policy information from the central location to the clients. Within a client, a portion of the policy information is selected based on its applicability to a particular connection. The selected information is cached with an association to the connection so that, as datagrams are generated for transmission over the network, relevant policy information is quickly accessed for use in controlling transmission characteristics of datagrams sent using that connection. Additionally, time information may be associated with information in the cache as well as policy information available from the server. Whenever a datagram is to be transmitted over a connection associated with out-of-date policy information in the cache, the cache information is updated.

An echo cancellation invention which does away with the need for an accurate double-talk detector, while maintaining a higher adaptation gain for quicker convergence and also providing increased stability. It does this by operating two filter models of the acoustic path in parallel. One model is adapted continuously to find the most accurate model of the echo path, while the other is not. The echo canceller output is taken from the filter that is not adapted. A comparison of the residual error (echo) is done between the model being adapted and the model being listened to at regular intervals. When the model being adapted has less error (echo) than the model being listened to its filter coefficients are copied to the other model. If the model being adapted has greater error (echo) than the other model (caused by noise diverging the adaptation process) then the adapted model has its coefficients overwritten by the filter that is listened to. This process keeps error from accumulating in the adapted filter by removing divergence at regular intervals (improving overall convergence). Since the output is taken from the filter that is not adapted, higher adaptation gains may be used without fear of the user hearing any effects of adapting with a higher gain in the presence of noise.

The friction factor is selected as a function of the frequency value of the associated oscillator, such that an increase in both temporal and spectral resolution are provided over existing time-frequency analysis methods. The friction factor is also selected to define a spectral band, within which the given oscillator can detect data oscillations. The properly selected friction factor thereby provides the analysis over a broad spectral range that can span many orders of magnitude.

An application contacts the ASIC with a request for a job, along with the name or identifier of a data stream to pattern match against, the name or identifier of the pattern set to use, and whether the job is partial or full. Depending on the priority rules set by the ASIC administrator, the ASIC may stop the job it is currently doing and begin work on the new job, or wait until the current job is finished before starting the new job. The ASIC determines if the pattern set for the new job is already stored in the cache, and contacts the calling application if it is not. Once the correct pattern set is loaded, the ASIC begins pattern matching on the requested data stream. The data stream is compared byte by byte with the each of the patterns in the loaded set. The ASIC will return a match to the calling application if a match has been made with one of the patterns in the pattern set.

Overlay error of a lithographic process is measured using a plurality of target structures, each target structure having a known overlay bias. A detection system captures a plurality of images (740) representing selected portions of radiation diffracted by the target structures under a plurality of different capture conditions (λ1, λ2). Pixel values of the captured images are combined (748) to obtain one or more synthesized images (750).

An architecture for training the weights of artificial neural networks provides a global constrainer modifying the neuron weights in each iteration not only by the back-propagated error but also by a global constraint constraining these weights based on the value of all weights at that iteration. The ability to accommodate a global constraint is made practical by using a constrained gradient descent which approximates the error gradient deduced in the training as a plane, offsetting the increased complexity of the global constraint.
