Abstract: Adaptive phase unwrapping for a time-of-flight camera. A scene is illuminated with modulation light having two or more frequencies that do not have a common integer denominator. The modulation light that is reflected off objects within the scene is received at a sensor array. The received modulation light is then processed and weighted in the complex domain to determine unwrapped phases for each of the two or more frequencies of modulation light.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to estimating age of a leaf using morphological features extracted from segmented leaves. Traditionally, leaf age estimation requires a single leaf to be plucked from the plant and its image to be captured in a controlled environment. The method and system of the present disclosure obviates these needs and enables obtaining one or more full leaves from images captured in an uncontrolled environment. The method comprises segmenting the image to identify veins of the leaves that further enable obtaining the full leaves. The obtained leaves further enable identifying an associated plant species. The method also discloses some morphological features which are fed to a pre-trained multivariable linear regression model to estimate age of every leaf. The estimated leaf age finds application in estimation of multiple plant characteristics like photosynthetic rate, transpiration, nitrogen content and health of the plants.

Abstract: Data for training a machine learning algorithm to detect airborne objects is generated by capturing background images using a camera aboard an aerial vehicle, and generating a trajectory of a synthetic object, such another aerial vehicle, in three-dimensional space. The trajectory is projected into an image plane of the camera, determined from a pose of the camera calculated using inertial measurement unit data captured by the aerial vehicle. Images of the synthetic object may be rendered based on locations of the trajectory in the image plane at specific times. Pixel-accurate locations for the rendered images may be determined by calculating a homography from consecutive images captured using the camera, and adjusting locations of the trajectory using the homography. The rendered images may be blended into the images captured by the camera at such locations, and used to train a machine learning algorithm.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method, an apparatus, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium for detecting sensitive text information such as privacy-related text information from a signal and modifying the signal by removing the detected sensitive text information therefrom. The apparatus receives the signal such as an image, a video clip, or an audio clip, and recognizes a text string therefrom. The apparatus then detects, from the text string, a substring based on a similarity between the substring and a regular expression, and modifies the signal by removing information related to the detected substring from the signal.

The first image-artifact-generation logic is A) an image-acquisition-system-specific image-artifact-generation logic or B) a tissue-staining-artifact-generation logic.

Abstract: The Selectable Facial Recognition Assistance Method and System (SFRA) allows law enforcement officers, military personnel, and other users the ability to rapidly and accurately identify wanted or known personnel, by combining the ability to select the type of examination, selection of optimized face matching algorithms and expert face examiners. The SFRA allows the user to select “Quick Looks” or “Long Looks” with respect to the level of detail of examination, along with race-based selected algorithms and expert face examiners. The race-based focused examination combining specialized algorithms and examiners will produce the highest confidence levels of match or no-match based on photographs taken, submitted, as well as database photographs. The SFRA will greatly assist users and persons being photographed to avoid false matches and false no-matches. This system will greatly reduce misidentification, profiling, or any other identification weaknesses that the systems and users may have.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed to personalize image capture operations of imaging equipment according to models that correspond uniquely to subjects being imaged. According to these techniques, a subject's face may be detected from a first image supplied by an image source and a first model of the subject may be developed from the detected face. The first model of the subject may be compared to another model of the subject developed from other images. Image adjustment parameters may be generated from a comparison of these models, which may control image adjustment techniques that are applied to the newly captured image of the subject. In this manner, aspects of the present disclosure may generate image capture operations that are tailored to characteristics of the subjects being imaged and avoid artifacts that otherwise could cause image degradation.
