Title: Method and apparatus for improving energy efficiency of sensing technology
Inventor: ROBERT BAUGH
IPC: G05B23/02
Filed: 2016-12-01
Abstract: A sensor network has a controller 100 and sensors 106, 112, 114, 118, 122, 124 distributed about areas 108, 116, 120, 126, which communicate via a wireless communication with the controller 100. Each sensor senses a parameter and provides this to the controller, via the wireless communication link. An expected value for a sensor is determined based on the sensor readings, and when sensor data from one sensor does not match the expected value, a reporting command is sent to another sensor to obtain sensor data from the other sensor. A second invention obtains sensor data at a first rate until an expectation value is established, then the rate is reduced.

Title: Image registering method and apparatus
Inventor: MATTI NISKANEN
IPC: G06T7/37
Filed: 2018-06-06
Abstract: To obtain disparity or translation transform between images of the same scene an image registration must be performed. However, noise such as low-light condition and blur significantly affect the registration result. Although the images may be filtered with any of a plurality of denoise method prior to registration the robustness and computation complexity is not ideal and the invention of this application intends to address this. The two images to be registered are transformed from the spatial domain to the spatial frequency domain using fo example a Fourier transform then a correlation between the spatial frequency functions is performed either a phase correlation or a normalized correlation. The spatial frequencies of the correlation are then adjusted possibly by filtering and a shift between the images identified or alternatively the adjusted correlation may be inverse transformed from the spatial frequency domain to the spatial domain to determine the shift which is then used to align the images. The process may be applied to more than two images.
