  • System and methods of acoustic monitoring
    Patent number: 9705607
    Abstract: A high performance computing strategy along with the capability to integrate various layers of data within a modeling framework incorporates various tools such as ambient noise, vessel and animal data to measure acute and chronic noise levels, detect and classify marine mammal vocalizations, and compute various metrics such as receive levels, signal excess, masking and communication space over relatively large temporal and spatial scales.

  • Constant magnification imaging method and system
    Patent number: 7463783
    Abstract: A system and method for achieving constant magnification of a scanned three-dimensional item without the use of special optics or other specialized hardware. The system includes the dynamic computation of a camera parameter-dependent factor and applying that factor in real-time to the sampled signal resulting from the scan of the item.

  • System and method for increasing temporal and spatial capacity of systems that amplitude quantize data prior to processing
    Patent number: 7162098
    Abstract: A system and method for collecting relatively high resolution amplitude data with a conventional sensing device from a signal source that is sampled at a relatively low characteristic scan resolution, and then generating relatively high scan resolution, relatively low resolution amplitude data through real-time application of up-sampling and quantization algorithms. The resulting relatively high scan resolution, relatively low resolution amplitude data closely approximate the image quality resulting from a sensing device operating at a much higher scan resolution, using a conventional data collection system. The invention relates generally to systems that collect the high resolution amplitude data that must be converted to low resolution amplitude data in order to maximize throughput rates.
