A system and method for selectively monitoring movement of one or more objects having one or more object attributes in a three dimensional space. The method is achieved by following the steps of detecting a position of the one or more objects in the three dimensional space by collecting information from one or more static sensors; selecting each detected object for monitoring; uniquely identifying selected objects and assigning one or more variable sensors to monitor the uniquely identified object. The method further requires gathering information from the variable sensors for each identified object; detecting a direction of each identified object in the three dimensional space; and controlling the one or more variable sensors to continuously point to the assigned uniquely identified object.

A method of predicting input of electronic objects in a communication device is described.

A method for estimating a target object properties, including location, in an environment. A topology model indicates permissible locations and transitions and a data model models a location-dependent physical quantity which is observed by the target object's sensing device. Motion models model specific target object types, obeying the permissible locations and transitions. The target object is assigned a set of particles, each having a set of attributes, including location in relation to the topology model. The attributes estimate the target object properties The particles' update cycles include: determining a degree of belief for each particle to estimate the target object properties; determining a weight for each particle based on at least the determined degree of belief and generating new particles for update cycle n+1 in an evolutionary process.

An archival storage cluster of preferably symmetric nodes includes a metadata management system that organizes and provides access to given metadata, preferably in the form of metadata objects. Each metadata object may have a unique name, and metadata objects are organized into regions. Preferably, a region is selected by hashing one or more object attributes (e.g., the object's name) and extracting a given number of bits of the resulting hash value. The number of bits may be controlled by a configuration parameter. Each region is stored redundantly. A region comprises a set of region copies. In particular, there is one authoritative copy of the region, and zero or more backup copies. The number of backup copies may be controlled by a configuration parameter. Region copies are distributed across the nodes of the cluster so as to balance the number of authoritative region copies per node, as well as the number of total region copies per node. Backup region copies are maintained synchronized to their associated authoritative region copy.

Objects within two-dimensional (2D) video data are modeled by three-dimensional (3D) models as a function of object type and motion through manually calibrating a 2D image to the three spatial dimensions of a 3D modeling cube. Calibrated 3D locations of an object in motion in the 2D image field of view of a video data input are computed and used to determine a heading direction of the object as a function of the camera calibration and determined movement between the computed 3D locations. The 2D object image is replaced in the video data input with an object-type 3D polygonal model having a projected bounding box that best matches a bounding box of an image blob, the model oriented in the determined heading direction. The bounding box of the replacing model is then scaled to fit the object image blob bounding box, and rendered with extracted image features.

A redundant array of independent nodes are networked together. Each node executes an instance of an application that provides object-based storage. Metadata objects are stored in a set of regions distributed among the nodes across the array. A given region is identified by hashing a metadata object attribute and extracting a given set of bits of a resulting hash value. A method of managing query results comprises: receiving, by a first node of the plurality of independent nodes from a client application, a request for a list of objects with a criterion; issuing by the first node a query to all the nodes based on the received request; processing the query by each node over the regions in the node using the metadata objects stored in the regions; aggregating and filtering by the first node results of the query from all the nodes; and returning by the first node the aggregated and filtered results to the client application.

A method for providing a polyhierarchical classification includes identifying properties of objects useful for distinguishing objects under classification. A plurality of criteria are identified for specializing the identified properties. A form is chosen for attributive expressions that describe classification categories. The attributive expressions are customizable and encode compositions of object properties in terms of attributes from the plurality of criteria. A domain of applicability is identified for each criterion that is representable by attributive expressions, and a dependence relationship between criteria is defined by the inclusion of attributes in the attributive expressions, where a selected criterion depends on another criterion if its domain of applicability includes at least one attribute by the other criterion. A generating polyhierarchy of criteria is automatically established by the dependence relationships between the criteria. The generating polyhierarchy of criteria implicitly defines an induced polyhierarchy of classification categories.

A system and method for generating a viewable video index for low bandwidth applications are provided. The exemplary aspects of the present invention solve the problems with the prior art systems by incorporating information for generating a viewable representation of the video data into the index, thus generating a viewable video index. The viewable video index contains information for generating a visual representation of moving objects in the video data, a visual representation of the background of the video capture area, i.e. the scene, a representation of the object trajectory, a representation of the object attributes, and a representation of detected events. The result is that the viewable video index may be transmitted to a low bandwidth application on a client device and may be used along with associated object and background models to generate a representation of the actual video data without requiring that the original video data itself be streamed to the client device.

One embodiment of the invention sets forth a CAD application configured to perform quantity takeoff computations. The CAD application is further configured to organize a CAD drawing into a hierarchical representation of object families and associated object types, where instances of the object types represent drawing objects present in the CAD drawing. The CAD application is further configured to receive a selection of an object family and to parse the selection to determine the object types associated with the selection. The CAD application then creates a takeoff object for each of the object types associated with the selection and identifies instances, associated with object properties, of each of the object types of the selection. The CAD application quantifies the instances and associated properties to produce a quantity takeoff value. Advantageously, users are able to more quickly and easily estimate the cost of a design project associated with the CAD drawing.

A method for recording pushed interactive data streams of a program. A pushed data stream is broadcast to a receiving station. The data stream includes one or more data objects. The data stream may also reference to live data objects which are intended for immediate consumption and become obsolete thereafter. The data stream may include a file table and object properties corresponding to the data objects. When the data stream is received by the receiving station, the individual data objects are extracted from the data stream. The data objects, accompanying object properties and the file table are then stored on a storage device. Data objects which are external to the data stream or to the program (e.g., data objects from other carousels) are retrieved and are also stored. Live data objects are not stored, but references to these data objects are stored, so that when the program is replayed, current versions of the referenced live data objects can be used. A program not being recorded may contain data objects which are flagged to be cached which are recorded automatically. Consequently, other programs may subsequently access them from the recording when they are played.
