Publication number: 20140313202Abstract: A process for sensor placement and analysis using a virtual environment includes receiving into a computer processor a model of an area, a position in the model that represents a placement of a virtual sensor, and an orientation of the virtual sensor. A shadow map of the area is generated as a function of the position and orientation of the virtual sensor. The shadow map is used to determine one or more portions of the area that can be sensed by the virtual sensor. The area of the model that is covered as a function of the position and orientation of the virtual sensor is determined, and information relating to the area of the model that is covered as a function of the position and orientation of the virtual sensor is transmitted to an output device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2014Publication date: October 23, 2014Inventors: Hao Bai, Henry Chen, Jian Geng Du, Tom Plocher

Publication number: 20140278320Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods may relate to a system for predicting a respirator fit by comparing a respirator model in a deformed state to a specific facial model. In an illustrative example, an internal measurement may be calculated between an inside part of the respirator model and the facial model. The internal measurement may be compared against a predetermined threshold to determine a fit of the respirator model, for example. In various implementations, the internal measurement may be a distance and/or a volume between the respirator and facial model. In some implementations, a 3D representation of the respirator model may be displayed upon a 3D representation of the facial model. In some implementations, a color-coded facial display may characterize areas of comfort and discomfort with respect to the respirator model. For example, areas of comfort and discomfort may be objectively determined in view of an applied pressure by the respirator.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Inventors: Xiaoli Wang, Henry Chen, Hao Bai, Paul Derby, Hari Thiruvengada, Vicken Sarkissian, Yajun-Edwin Zhang

Publication number: 20140278319Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods may relate to a system for predicting a respirator fit by comparing a specific respirator model to a specific facial model in a dynamic position. In an illustrative example, one or more dynamic positions may be generated by actual user movement and/or simulated user movement. For example, a facial model may be generated by altering a static model in view of actual and/or simulated movements. In various implementations, a facial model may be compared against a variety of respirator models from a respirator model database. In some implementations, a 3D representation of the respirator model may be displayed upon a 3D representation of the facial model. In some implementations, a color-coded facial display may characterize areas of comfort and discomfort with respect to the respirator model. For example, areas of comfort and discomfort may be objectively determined in view of an applied pressure by the respirator.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Hari Thiruvengada, Paul Derby, Henry Chen, Hao Bai, Xiaoli Wang, Vicken Sarkissian, Yajun-Edwin Zhang

Publication number: 20140192159Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to receive a real image or real images of a coverage area of a surveillance camera. Building Information Model (BIM) data associated with the coverage area may be received. A virtual image may be generated using the BIM data. The virtual image may include at least one three-dimensional (3-D) graphics that substantially corresponds to the real image. The virtual image may be mapped with the real image. Then, the surveillance camera may be registered in a BIM coordination system using an outcome of the mapping.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2011Publication date: July 10, 2014Applicant: METROLOGIC INSTRUMENTS, INC.Inventors: Henry Chen, Xiaoli Wang, Hao Bai, Saad J Ros, Tom Plocher

Publication number: 20120307067Abstract: A system for automatically determining the placement of cameras receives data relating to a plurality of polygons. T polygons represent one or more of a surveillance area, a non-surveillance area, a blank area, and an obstacle. The system selects one or more initial cameras, including one or more initial camera positions, initial camera orientations, and initial camera features, wherein the initial camera positions and the initial camera orientations cause one or more fields of view of the initial cameras to cover at least a part of the surveillance area. The system alters one or more of a number of cameras, an orientation of the cameras, a location of the cameras, a type of the cameras, and a crossover of two or more cameras. The system uses a fitness function to evaluate all of the cameras and all of the camera positions, and selects one or more cameras and the locations and orientations of the one or more cameras as a function of the fitness function.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2011Publication date: December 6, 2012Applicant: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Henry Chen, Hao Bai, Tom Plocher, Hari Thiruvengada
