Patent CA-2600926-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TUBIC DRAGAN
IPC: G01B11/25
Filed: 2006-03-13
Abstract: A system, apparatus and method for three-dimensional scanning and digitization of the surface geometry of objects are claimed. The system comprises a hand-held apparatus that is auto-referenced. The system is auto-referenced since it does not need any positioning device to provide the 6 degree of freedom transformations that are necessary to integrate 3D measurements in a global coordinate system while the apparatus is manipulated to scan the surface. The system continuously calculates its own position and orientation from observation while scanning the surface geometry of an object. To do so, the system exploits a triangulation principle and integrates an apparatus that captures both surface points originating from the reflection of a projected laser pattern on an object's surface and 2D positioning features originating from the observation of target positioning features. Using the described system, it is possible to simultaneously build and match a 3D representation of the positioning features while accumulating the 3D surface points describing the surface geometry.

IPC: G06V30/10
Filed: 2006-03-13
Abstract: A method and system for recognizing text in computer images comprising distorted text provides an adaptive iterative process wherein recognition rules are adapted, added or omitted based on the present state of the recognition process. When the first pass through the recognition and adaptation is completed, the remaining unrecognized words (15) are passed through the recognition system 1 using the modified set of recognition rules stored in (18) and the process is repeated. In most cases the recognition system 1 will identify further reliable recognized words, which iteratively can be used to improve the recognition rules until the true text comprised in image (10) is recognized throughout the whole text. The steps of the method according to the present invention are thus repeated until convergence.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus are disclosed for conducting a reservoir simulation, using a reservoir model of a gridded region of interest. The grid of the region of interest includes one or more types of cells, the type of cell being distinguished by the number of unknown variables representing properties of the cells. The cells share a common variable as an unknown variable. The method includes the steps of identifying different cell types for the grid; constructing an overall matrix for the reservoir model based on the different cell types; at least partially decoupling the common variable from the other unknown variables in the matrix by using a reduction process to yield a reduced matrix; mathematically breaking up the variables in the reduced matrix into k subsets by cell types; applying an overlapping multiplicative Schwartz procedure to the reduced matrix to obtain a preconditioner and using the preconditioner to solve for the unknown variables.
