Publication number: 20230145048Abstract: In one or more implementations, body features of a subject can be tracked and a pose estimation produced using an unconstrained video sequence. The video sequence constitutes a physical record of the body features of the subject. A set of 2D coordinates corresponding to the body features of the subject can be received from a first neural network and 2D Keypoints are detected and transmitted to a second neural network. The second neural network can return corresponding depth estimation values, which can be processed to generate a set of 3D coordinates that correspond to the body features of the subject in camera space. Furthermore, one or more non-linear optimizations can be applied to fit a predetermined skeleton to the generate 3D Keypoints, and produce the pose estimation corresponding to the body features of the subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2022Publication date: May 11, 2023Inventors: Kevin Walker, Mike Rogers, Chris Bowles, Matthew Oakes, Mike Taylor, Vincent Drouard

Publication number: 20220204320Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a winch assembly that includes a power drive with a motor component. The motor component of the power drive rotates a member within the winch assembly and the rotation of that member is translated to a rotation component (e.g., a spool, a drum, etc.) of the winch assembly to wind up a line, a cord, a rope, a chain, or some other type of line that can be wound up by the winch assembly. The power drive further includes a casing that surrounds and encases the motor component. In some embodiments, the casing of the power drive may be fully encased within the rotation component of the winch assembly. In some embodiments, the casing of the power drive may be partially inset the rotation component. In some embodiments, the casing of the power drive may be external to the rotation component. The motor component is an electric motor that an operator or user can select parameters desired for operation of the winch assembly depending on the situation of use for the winch assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2020Publication date: June 30, 2022Inventors: Stan DELIZO, Mike ROGERS, Jacob CONLEY, Davis CHANG

Patent number: 10949649Abstract: A method for locating and tracking facial features in an unconstrained video sequence includes: in a face-detecting process, delineating, with region-bounding coordinates, the face of the subject within an image selected from the sequence; detecting, in the selected image, a small set of landmarks, corresponding to the face of the subject, using a convolutional neural network, trained to take as input an image region corresponding to the face of the—subject and to return a set of coordinates at computational speeds approximating real time; projectively fitting a three-dimensional character model to the detected landmarks, and using the fitted model to estimate physical locations of additional landmarks, so as to provide a complete hypothesized set of facial landmarks; and in a feature tracker process, updating the hypothesized set of facial landmarks to improve convergence between predicted feature locations and their actual physical locations based on data sampled from the selected image.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2019Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Image Metrics, Ltd.Inventors: Kevin Walker, Mike Rogers, Mike Taylor, Matthew Oakes, Vincent Drouard, Carl Moore

Patent number: 8490978Abstract: Targets including bifacial target areas adjoining four planar extension arms that meet at a center and are set at angles of 109.5 degrees between adjacent arms. A method including providing a pair of symmetrical target portions each having two bifacial target areas adjoining extension arms that meet along a centerline. Slits are provided at centerline apexes, and the slits the two portions are merged. The two target portions are welded together along the merged slits. A method including positioning a target on a surface, with one extension arm projecting upward. A firearm is aimed at a face of the bifacial target area adjoined to the upwardly projecting arm. The firearm is fired to impact the face, the impact causing the target to flip into a new position The firearm is then aimed at a face of the bifacial target area adjoined to the new upwardly projecting extension arm.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2011Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Inventor: Mike Rogers

Patent number: 6821062Abstract: A device for processing a workpiece which, for this purpose, is fixed inside a working space (or enclosure) in a machining center and is processed with the aid of a tool. To remove processing residues, a gas stream is made to flow through working space, which is formed, for this purpose, like a nozzle. So as to improve further the removal of undesired processing residues from working space, without at the same time increasing the performance of the devices generating air stream, the working space is widened after the narrowest cross sectional area, in the flow direction of gas stream, similar to a Laval nozzle, machining center being situated in the region of the greatest flow speed. Because of this arrangement, in addition, an undesired limitation of working space available for machining center may be avoided.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2003Date of Patent: November 23, 2004Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Hockauf, Mike Roger Girguis, Alexander Stoll, Josef Steibl, Eckart Schillo, Reinhard Schirsch, Waldemar Zielasko
