Publication number: 20080074494Abstract: A video surveillance system may include a geospatial model database for storing a geospatial model of a scene, at least one video surveillance camera for capturing video of a moving object within the scene, and a video surveillance display. The system may further include a video surveillance processor for georeferencing captured video of the moving object to the geospatial model, and for generating on the video surveillance display a georeferenced surveillance video comprising an insert associated with the captured video of the moving object superimposed into the scene of the geospatial model.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2006Publication date: March 27, 2008Applicant: Harris CorporationInventors: Joseph M. Nemethy, Timothy B. Faulkner, Thomas J. Appolloni, Joseph A. Venezia

Patent number: 7310606Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating an image-textured digital surface model (DSM) for a geographical area of interest including both buildings and terrain may include using a computer to generate a digital elevation model (DEM) of both the buildings and terrain for the geographical area of interest. The method may further include providing a collection of optical images including oblique optical images for the geographical area of interest including both buildings and terrain. The computer may also be used to selectively superimpose oblique optical images from the collection of optical images onto the DEM of both the buildings and terrain for the geographical area of interest and to thereby generate the image-textured DSM for the geographical area of interest including both buildings and terrain.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2006Date of Patent: December 18, 2007Assignee: Harris CorporationInventors: Joseph M. Nemethy, John A. Van Workum, Shayan K. Sarkar, John P. Karp, David W. Dubois, David M. Bell, Robert A. Killam, Thomas J. Appolloni, Joseph A. Venezia

Patent number: 6833811Abstract: A method and system for tracking an object by generating GPS coordinates for the object and a bearing associated with a movement of the object. The GPS coordinates include a latitude, a longitude, and an altitude, which are processed. The GPS coordinates can be processed to correlate the altitude of the object with an identifier that identifies a level within a structure. An icon representing the object then can be accurately located in a first view of a three dimensional model. An indicator can be associated with the icon to indicate the object's level, a bearing of the object, and/or the object's GPS coordinates. The object's GPS coordinates can be compared with a second object location to determine dispatch instructions. The object can be a person, a vehicle, watercraft or an aircraft.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2002Date of Patent: December 21, 2004Assignee: Harris CorporationInventors: Michael P. Zeitfuss, Joseph M. Nemethy, Joseph A. Venezia

Patent number: 6744442Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for creating three-dimensional models in a graphics texture mapping system and are especially useful for creating three-dimensional urban models. A computer includes a graphics application program and an application programming interface. A single rectangular, composite building texture map is formed for each of a plurality of three-dimensional objects corresponding to individual buildings and have a reduced area of pixels within each composite building texture map as caused by rotating individual images. A site model clip map image contains each composite building texture map in a spatially correct position that has been expanded such that no overlap remains.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2000Date of Patent: June 1, 2004Assignee: Harris CorporationInventors: Ellery Y. Chan, Joseph M. Nemethy, Mark E. Boss, Mark D. Rahmes

Patent number: 6701318Abstract: An information retrieval and visualization system utilizes multiple search engines for retrieving documents from a document database based upon user input queries. Search engines include an n-gram search engine and a vector space model search engine using a neural network training algorithm. Each search engine produces a common mathematical representation of each retrieved document. The retrieved documents are then combined and ranked. Mathematical representations for each respective document is mapped onto a display. Information displayed includes a three-dimensional display of keywords from the user input query. The three-dimensional visualization capability based upon the mathematical representation of information within the information retrieval and visualization system provides users with an intuitive understanding, with relevance feedback/query refinement techniques that can be better utilized, resulting in higher retrieval accuracy (precision).Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2003Date of Patent: March 2, 2004Assignee: Harris CorporationInventors: Kevin L. Fox, Ophir Frieder, Margaret M. Knepper, Robert A. Killam, Joseph M. Nemethy, Gregory J. Cusick, Eric J. Snowberg
