Publication number: 20190050499Abstract: An effective deployment strategy for multi-modal sensing stations is disclosed. Multi-modal sensing stations have one or more modes of operation, while the system and methods of the invention teach embodiments to deploy multi-modal sensors of varying capabilities in a workspace with real-world constraints. The solution computed by the instant invention includes location/placement and configuration/orientation of the sensing stations, as well as the switching sequences of their modes in order to provide desired coverage. The desired coverage is expressed by a performance measure, which can be a measure of time, or any other measure suited for a given application. Sensing stations are equipped with different types of sensors operating simultaneously to provide sensing, network or other types of coverages.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2015Publication date: February 14, 2019Inventors: Hector H.

Patent number: 10191559Abstract: A manipulated object using high optical contrast features and an on-board photodetector that detects light produced, reflected or scattered by the features and outputs data indicative thereof. The manipulated object uses one or more controllers to determine its position and/or orientation, including full pose, in the real three-dimensional environment based on data from the photodetector. Data from one or more auxiliary motion sensing devices, e.g., a relative motion sensor such as an inertial device or other auxiliary motion device relying on acoustics, optics or electromagnetic waves within or outside the visible spectrum, can be used to supplement the position and/or orientation data from the photodetector. The manipulated object can be embodied by any suitable device manipulated by a user, including a tablet computer or a phone.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2018Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: Electronic Scripting Products, Inc.Inventors: Michael J.
