  • Patent number: 9239867
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying data variable roles during initial data exploration. A variable type, unique data value count values, and an overflow count value are determined for a variable. The unique data value count values include a number of occurrences of each of a plurality of unique data values for the variable in a data set. The overflow count value is a number of occurrences of data values other than the plurality of unique data values for the variable in the data set. When a number of the plurality of unique data values is greater than a value for a high cardinality threshold, the variable is determined to be a high cardinality variable. When the variable is not determined to be the high cardinality variable, a class variable role is assigned to the variable. When the variable is determined to be the high cardinality variable, Whether or not the variable is a numeric variable type is determined based on the determined variable type.

  • Publication number: 20160014393
    Abstract: A time-of-flight camera images an object around a corner or through a diffuser. In the case of imaging around a corner, light from a hidden target object reflects off a diffuse surface and travels to the camera. Points on the diffuse surface function as a virtual sensors. In the case of imaging through a diffuser, light from the target object is transmitted through a diffusive media and travels to the camera. Points on a surface of the diffuse media that is visible to the camera function as virtual sensors. In both cases, a computer represents phase and intensity measurements taken by the camera as a system of linear equations and solves a linear inverse problem to (i) recover an image of the target object; or (ii) to compute a 3D position for each point in a set of points on an exterior surface of the target object.
