Patent EP-1079596-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BOHN DAVID D
IPC: H04N1/107
Filed: 2000-05-05
Abstract: A position sensing device (100) having a single
photosensing element (130) is disclosed herein. The
position sensing device (100) determines the location of
an object (104) to which the position sensing device
(100) is attached relative to a surface (208). The
position sensing device (100) has a plurality of light
paths that direct light from different area portions
(220, 230) of the surface (208) to the single
photosensing element (130). Each area portion (220, 230)
of the surface (208) is associated with a light source
(140, 142) wherein each light source (140, 142) may be
activated individually. A processor (300) illuminates
these area portions (220, 230) individually. As the area
portions (220, 230) are illuminated, the photosensing
element (130) creates image data representative of the
image of the area portion being illuminated. The
processor (300) analyzes the image data and identifies
distinct features in the area portions (220, 230). As
the object (104) is moved relative to the surface (208),
the locations of these distinct features relative to the
photosensing element (130) move. By measuring this
movement, the processor (300) is able to determine the
velocity, direction of movement, and position of the
object (104) relative to the surface (208).

Abstract: The DCT converter (103) extracts block data(102)of a 8 × 8
pixel size from the original image (101) and then subjects
it to DCT conversion. The quantizer (104) quantizes the DCT
coefficient. The movement decision unit (106) obtains the
difference between the number V(t) of DCT coefficients
obtained by the DCT converter (103) and the number V(t-1) of
DCT coefficients of the previous frame previously held.
The movement decision unit (106) decides the movement as a
large value if the difference exceeds a certain threshold
value and decides the movement as a small value if the
difference is less than the threshold value. The
electronic watermark data inserter (105) extracts electronic
watermark data W(j) which matches the location where 8 ×
8 block data is extracted from the electronic watermark
data table (109), the picture type and the movement and then
inserts it into the data after quantization output from
the quantizer (104).

Abstract: A generalized positioning system, corresponding filter, and
corresponding method, for estimating the state of motion of
an object, the generalized positioning system including a
measurement engine, a model selector and model bank, and a
filter, which is preferably a statistical filter. The
measurement engine is responsive to information provided by a
source of range information, from which a measurement of the
state can be determined, and provides a succession of
measurements of the state, each corresponding to a different
instant of time. The model selector and model bank selects
at least one motion model for use in estimating the state for
a segment of the motion of the object. The filter is
responsive to the succession of measurements of the state,
and further responsive to a model mixing parameter and to the
selected motion models. It determines a succession of
multiple-model state estimates, preferably according to the
so-called interacting multiple-model. In a further aspect of
the present invention, the generalized positioning system
also includes: a weighted least squares (WLS) filter,
responsive to each of the measurements in the succession of
measurements of the state, for directly determining a
succession of WLS state estimates; and a consistency checker,
responsive to the WLS state estimates and to the multiple-model
state estimates, for selecting either the WLS state
estimate for an instant of time or the multiple-model state
estimate, based on the multiple-model state estimate as well
as on previous multiple-model state estimates.

IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 2001-02-15
Abstract: A motion estimation system for finding motion vectors between first and
second images selects first and second overlapping blocks of pixels from the first image.
The motion estimation system then estimates motion between the first and second
images to define respective motion vectors for the overlapping blocks. These motion
vectors are assigned to respective first and second non-overlapping sub-blocks of pixels
within the respective first and second overlapping blocks of pixels. The motion
estimation system is advantageously used in a video de-interlacing system in which the
sub-blocks are used to determine whether interpolated samples are generated using
samples from both the first and second image fields or only from the first field.
