Title: Augmented reality using an image mask
Inventor: RAGHOEBARDAJAL SHARWIN WINESH
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2012-10-25
Abstract: An entertainment device captures a video image via a camera and an image analysis processor operates to identify those pixels of the video image, possibly on the basis of luminance, colour, spatial frequency, colour continuity or colour values within a tolerance range, corresponding to sky, and to generate a mask corresponding to those classified pixels. An augmented reality processor then operates to position a virtual object, which may be a person, a creature, a flying machine or a status bar on a horizontal plane at a predetermined height above the entertainment device and a rendering processor then operates to render the virtual object on the captured video image within the extent of the mask. The position of the virtual object may be adjusted based on changes in the camera viewpoint as detected by one or more motion sensors and the virtual object may be rendered with a transparency based on the cloud density at the respective pixel position as calculated by the image analysis processor.

Inventor: ALDRED MICHAEL DAVID
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 2013-05-10
Abstract: Guiding an autonomous vehicle or robot 4 towards a docking station 6 uses a camera 36 mounted on the vehicle 4 to sense fiducial markers (80,82, fig 5) on the docking station 6. The relative predetermined spacing between the markers (80,82, fig 5) position is used to determine a difference between an image of the markers (80,82, fig 5) obtained by the camera 6 and the actual position of the markers (80,82, fig 5) to control the drive system of the vehicle 4 to guide it to the base station 6. The docking module 6 may be planer and pivotable. The fiducial markers (80,82, fig 5) may be two identical images or mirror images.

Title: Differentiating abandoned and removed object using temporal edge information
Inventor: ZONG ZHIMIN
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2013-09-11
Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method for classifying a detected region of change of a video frame as indicating an abandoned object e.g. luggage or a removed object e.g. a painting on a wall, the detected region of change is classified as an removed object if the temporal change of the edge consistency is from a more consistent state to a less consistent state, and the detected region of change is classified as an abandoned object if the temporal change of the edge consistency from a less consistent to a more consistent state. The invention is based on the principle that a strong boundary on the region of change is more likely to indicate an abandoned object event whereas a weak boundary is likely to indicate a removed object event. To determine the consistency of said boundaries the invention uses a process described as orientation transition comparison(OTC) wherein for a current frame and its historical model the transition orientation for each boundary block of the region boundary is compared. If the transition is from more random to less random then this indicates an abandoned object but if it is from less random to more random then this indicates a removed object. The blocks forming the boundary of the region of change are analysed to determine for each block the predicted edge characteristics for the block and an observed characteristic for the block and a history of the observed edge characteristic (historical edge characteristic) is also maintained. The difference between the predicted and observed edge characteristics is computed for each boundary block and the history of the block edge characteristics and these two differences are then used to determine the transition of the edge characteristic which is then used to determine whether the region of change indicates an abandoned object event or a removed object event.

Title: Determining an abnormal module, which is common to a number of data processing jobs, using the time taken for different jobs
Inventor: HOTTA YUUJI
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2013-11-26
Abstract: A computer system carries out a number of data processing jobs F1F4. Each job is carried out by a number of processing modules p1p5. Some of the modules are used by more than one job. The time taken for each job is measured. The time for each job is compared with the normal time for the job to determine if the time taken is abnormally long. If so, any modules, which are in one or more jobs taking abnormally long, but not in any jobs taking a normal amount of time, are considered to be taking an abnormally long time. The times taken for the jobs may be aggregated over time.

Title: Network elements, wireless communication system and methods therefor
Inventor: BROCK DAVID CHARLES
IPC: H04W60/00
Filed: 2014-06-27
Abstract: A presence service can be provided by an access point (101, figure 1) serving a small cell 100 by rejecting a request for registration 204 from a user equipment (103) after acquiring its IMSI 203 and sending the IMSI 204 to a presence database (105). The user equipment determines if the cell is a presence cell by comparing the cell's location area code (LAC) with LACs stored in a list and looking for a match 205. If the cell is a presence cell then the user equipment, rather than placing the LAC in a forbidden list, re-tries registration again but only after a pre-set time period of 5-10 minutes has elapsed 207. The presence service can therefore be notified of subscribers who linger in a particular area or return to that area at regular intervals. In a second embodiment a UE determines (306, figure 3) if a cell is a presence cell by processing the received presence cell identifier message which is broadcast by the small cell 100. In a third embodiment the UE determines (405, figure 4) if a cell is a presence cell by analysis of the cause code value in the registration reject message.

Title: Drilling system and associated system and method for monitoring, controlling, and predicting vibration in an underground drilling operation
Inventor: WASSELL MARK ELLSWORTH
IPC: G05B23/02
Filed: 2014-09-23
Abstract: Vibration in a drilling system is caused by rotation of the drill bit, the motors used to rotate the bit, the pumping of drilling mud, imbalance in the string, etc. Excessive vibration can result in premature failure of the components of the string or may cause the drilling to be performed at less than optimum conditions. In general, optimal drilling is obtained when the rate of penetration of the drill into the formation is as high as possible while the vibration is as low as possible. The present drilling system includes a computer system 200 for the prediction / modelling of vibration using system component information and an energy balance methodology of the system operating according to expected operation information for the drilling operation. The vibrations can include axial, lateral or torsional vibrations.
