Patent number: 11004291Abstract: A system for election document processing is disclosed. Image data representative of a scanned election document is matched with a template for processing and consideration of a new elections record. The template defines areas of interest and rules for processing the image data. Data associated with picture elements defining the areas of interest is applied to predetermined validation functions to validate whether the image data includes sufficient information for populating predefined fields and accepting the scanned election document. Additional functions are applied to the image data to compare the image data with information of a voter registration database in order to verify a voter associated with the election document. The scanned election document is further processed for validation sampling.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2019Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: Runbeck Election Services Inc.Inventors: William O'Neill, Wei He, Chris Schiffhauer, Don Ingels, John Elder, Steve Prussing, David Siegel, Jon Miller, Joshua Bonebrake

Patent number: 11000222Abstract: Skeletal recording devices (e.g., Microsoft Kinect®) has been gaining popularity in home-based rehabilitation solution due to its affordability and ease of use. It is used as a marker less human skeleton tracking device. However, apart from the fact that the skeleton data are contaminated with high frequency noise, the major drawback lies in the inability to retain the anthropometric properties, for example, the body segments' length, which varies with time during the tracking. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems that implement a particle filter based approach to track the human skeleton data in presence of high frequency noise and multi-objective genetic technique is further implemented to reduce the bone length variations. Further multiple segments in skeleton are filtered simultaneously and segments' lengths are preserved by considering their interconnection for obtained corrected set of body joint positions which ensures that the body segment length is maintained close to ground truth.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2019Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: Tata Consultancy Services LimitedInventors: Kingshuk Chakravarty, Aniruddha Sinha, Soumya Rajan Tripathy
