Publication number: 20120215596Abstract: A permit enforcement system is a computer-implemented system that enforces parking rights within a parking zone. The system may include a processor(s) that allows the system to first capture parked vehicle images within the parking zone during a specified time period. The images are then transmitted to a computing system with a time and date stamp and geographic location. The images are processed to obtain vehicle identifiers. The processor then queries a permit database to compile a list of vehicles permitted to park in the parking zone during the specified time period. This list is compared the vehicle identifiers and the vehicles identifiers which were not authorized to park within the parking zone during the specified time period are identified. These vehicle are then associated with owner information using an outside entity database and vehicle owners are notified of the violations.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2012Publication date: August 23, 2012Applicant: IPT LLCInventors: Josiah Johnson, Cory Marchasin, Chad Collins, Avinash Sridhar, Gad Moshe Berger

Publication number: 20100278236Abstract: Various implementations for reducing artifacts such as, for example, I-frame flicker are proposed. Particular implementations produce a no-flicker reference in which a picture intended to be coded as an I-frame is, first, coded as a P-frame using a reference picture from the previous GOP. Thus, continuity with the previous GOP is provided. According to a general aspect, a source image is inter-coded to produce coded source data. The coded source data is decoded to produce a modified source. The modified source is intra-coded to produce coded modified-source data. The coded modified-source data is decoded to produce a reference image.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2008Publication date: November 4, 2010Inventors: Hua Yang, Jill MacDonald Boyce, Gad Moshe Berger
