  • Publication number: 20140278274
    Abstract: A method includes receiving one or more learning configurations, each learning configuration related to an acceptable arrangement of items within an environment. The method further includes extracting from the learning configurations representative item information and relationship information, synthesizing a configuration of items for a defined environment based at least in part on the extracted representative item information and relationship information, determining a cost of the synthesized configuration, and, based on the cost of the synthesized configuration, identifying the synthesized configuration as acceptable.

  • Patent number: 7693299
    Abstract: A method, system, computer-readable medium and data structure are provided for processing image data in connection with image recognition. A response of an image (FIG. 6 element 210) to a basis tensor can be determined after the image is applied thereto. The image response can be flattened (FIG. 6 element 220). A coefficient vector may be extracted from the image response (FIG. 6 element 230). The extracted coefficient vector may be compared to a plurality of different parameters stored in coefficient rows of a matrix (FIG. 6 element 240).

  • Patent number: 7379925
    Abstract: A data structure, method, storage medium and logic arrangement are provided for use in collecting and analyzing multilinear data describing various characteristics of different objects. In particular it is possible to recognize an unknown object or an unknown viewpoint of an object, as well as synthesize a known viewpoint never before recorded of an object, and reduce the amount of stored data describing an object or viewpoint by using dimensionality reduction techniques, and the like.
