Camera-based tracking and position determination for sporting events
ActiveUS20100026809A1Good playerGood ball position trackingTelevision system detailsCharacter and pattern recognitionDigital signal processingAccelerometer
Position information of equipment at an event, such as a ball, one or more players, or other items in a game or sporting event, is used in selecting camera, camera shot type, camera angle, audio signals, and / or other output data for providing a multimedia presentation of the event to a viewer. The position information is used to determine the desired viewer perspective. A network of feedback robotically controlled Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ), manually controlled cameras and stationary cameras work together with interpolation techniques to create a 2D video signal. The position information may also be used to access gaming rules and assist officiating of the event. The position information may be obtained through a transceiver(s), accelerometer(s), transponder(s), and / or RADAR detectable element(s) fitted into the ball, apparel or equipment of players, the players themselves, or other playing equipment associated with the game or sporting event. Other positioning methods that can be used include infrared video-based tracking systems, SONAR positioning system(s), LIDAR positioning systems, and digital signal processing (DSP) image processing techniques such as triangulation.

A robust, wireless sensor system providing a low cost method of tracking people such as sex offenders, child molesters, etc., after their release from prison or other confinement, which protects society from such individuals and lessens their ability to repeat such offenses. The system and method of the invention can also be used to locate kidnapped persons, people buried in snow avalanches, missing or dead soldiers, etc. The system utilizes RFID tags placed on people or in specified locations and RFID transmitters that can resonate with the tagged people or objects. Such a trigger recognition arrangement combined with communication of information from the triggering can be used to obtain a signal alerting the transmitter carrier that the tagged object or person is nearby. The triggering action can also initiate a sequence of information transfers in which the transmitter broadcasts to a central command that a particular transmitter is or was in proximity to a specific object or person, and allows the command center to order the dispatch of authorized personnel, such as policemen, military personnel, emergency rescue workers, etc. to the triggering location.

InactiveUS7333089B1Great sensitivity and accuracySimplifying workplaceInput/output for user-computer interactionCharacter and pattern recognitionCapacitanceEngineering
A user's movements are detected by a capacitive system having one or more conductors. The output from the conductors is amplified and compared to a table of stored output. Thus, the device can eliminate the need to touch a control surface. The control surface such as a computer mouse could be eliminated in favor of merely sensing a user's hand movement. Likewise, the array of conductors could be placed in a panel that could be mounted on a wall. Such panels could be used in a factory to sense the movement of workers or a machinery. Indeed, the movements could be analyzed and warnings sounded if a collision is predicted.

For each of pattern projection regions, a mask and a substrate are moved in synchronization with each other in an X direction while projecting a portion of a mask pattern through an optical projection system onto a portion of the pattern projection region. An exposure region is thereby shifted from one of two ends of the pattern projection region toward the other end, the two ends being opposed to each other in the X direction. If the pattern projection region is a peripheral projection region that has a portion located outside the edge of the substrate, of the two ends of the region opposed to each other in the X direction, the exposure region is shifted from the one end that is greater in length of a portion laid over the substrate toward the other end.
