A mental-model elicitation process and apparatus, called the Mental-Model Elicitation Device (MMED) is described. The MMED is used to give rise to more effective end-user mental-modeling activities that require executive function and working memory functionality. The method and apparatus is visual analysis based, allowing visual and other sensory representations to be given to thoughts, attitudes, and interpretations of a user about a given visualization of a mental-model, or aggregations of such visualizations and their respective blending. Other configurations of the apparatus and steps of the process may be created without departing from the spirit of the invention as disclosed.

A robot includes a hazard sensor, a locomotor, and a system controller. The robot senses a hazard intensity at a location of the robot, moves to a new location in response to the hazard intensity, and autonomously repeats the sensing and moving to determine multiple hazard levels at multiple locations. The robot may also include a communicator to communicate the multiple hazard levels to a remote controller. The remote controller includes a communicator for sending user commands to the robot and receiving the hazard levels from the robot. A graphical user interface displays an environment map of the environment proximate the robot and a scale for indicating a hazard intensity. A hazard indicator corresponds to a robot position in the environment map and graphically indicates the hazard intensity at the robot position relative to the scale.

A vehicle navigation system helps guide a driver to a destination by enhancing visualization of upcoming intersections. The navigation system stores animation data that depicts the intersection as it will appear to the driver. The animation data may be a sequence of images (e.g., digital camera images) taken at intervals before and after the intersection. The navigation system may show the images in synchronism with the progress of the vehicle to provide an animated display of the intersection for the driver. The animated display aids the driver with following a recommended navigation route to the destination.

Disclosed systems, methods, and computer readable media can detect an association between semantic entities and generate semantic information between entities. For example, semantic entities and associated semantic collections present in knowledge bases can be identified. A time period can be determined and divided into time slices. For each time slice, word embeddings for the identified semantic entities can be generated; a first semantic association strength between a first semantic entity input and a second semantic entity input can be determined; and a second semantic association strength between the first semantic entity input and semantic entities associated with a semantic collection that is associated with the second semantic entity can be determined. An output can be provided based on the first and second semantic association strengths.

Some embodiments provide a credibility system including an interface portal for presenting a holistic view of entity credibility. To provide the holistic view, the credibility system aggregates credibility data from multiple data sources. The aggregated credibility data is processed and ordered to present different dimensions of entity credibility, with each dimension graphically presented in the interface portal through an interactive credibility module. In some embodiments, the credibility data associated with each credibility module is processed to produce at least one value that quantifiably represents the credibility data. In some embodiments, the credibility data associated with each credibility module is hierarchically ordered to present the credibility data in a drill-down fashion with each hierarchical layer presenting more detailed credibility data for better understanding the credibility data presented in the preceding layer.

A computer-implemented schema-independent method of modeling data from a plurality of diverse sources. A server transmits to a client a blueprint for visualizing and interacting with data, wherein the blueprint defines an application, for visualizing and interacting with data that runs on the client. The application may operate on the client within a web browser and may include program code or scripts that operate within the web browser and transmit data and commands to and from the server. In response to receiving a data fetch message from the application running on a client computer, the server receives data from a selected one of a plurality of domains. The server then transforms the received data into a semantic data format. The transformed data is then stored by the server as a first data set. The first data set can then be transmitted to the client computer for further processing and visualization by the application on the client using the blueprint.

The present invention provides a ground three-dimensional laser scanning point cloud and image fusion and registration method, and the limitation of the scanning of the ground three-dimensional laser scanning technology is overcome. The point cloud data obtained by ground three-dimensional laser scanning often comprises various areas which can not be measured, point cloud holes are generated, and thus local area information of a scanned object is lost. The holes cause that a model can not realize visualization correctly, and model subsequent processing is influenced too. For the above problems, the invention aims to solve the problems through the following technical scheme that an SIFT image is used to carry out mosaic processing of collected image photos by means of an algorithm to obtain a panoramic image, the intensive reconstruction is carried out through the panoramic image to obtain the 3D point cloud data generated by the image photo, and an iterative closest point algorithm (ICP) is used to realize the registration working of laser scanning point cloud and image data generation point cloud.
