Patent number: 11989936Abstract: Identifying insect species integrates image processing, feature selection, unsupervised clustering, and a support vector machine (SVM) learning algorithm for classification. Results with a total of 101 mosquito specimens spread across nine different vector carrying species demonstrate high accuracy in species identification. When implemented as a smart-phone application, the latency and energy consumption were minimal. The currently manual process of species identification and recording can be sped up, while also minimizing the ensuing cognitive workload of personnel. Citizens at large can use the system in their own homes for self-awareness and share insect identification data with public health agencies.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2022Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: University of South FloridaInventors: Sriram Chellappan, Pratool Bharti, Mona Minakshi, Willie McClinton, Jamshidbek Mirzakhalov

Publication number: 20240160832Abstract: A method and system provide and utilize obfuscated fonts for displayable content. Responsive to a request for displayable content having text, a text portion of the requested displayable content to be obfuscated is determined. For that text portion, obfuscated fonts are provided, by retrieving obfuscated fonts or by generating obfuscated fonts from a set of obfuscated glyphs created from a plurality of glyphs representative of a plurality of characters of the text portion of the displayable content. The obfuscated fonts can be created by assigning obfuscated glyphs of the set into the obfuscated fonts in accordance with one or more messages.

Patent number: 11933898Abstract: A system and method of adjusting a field of view in an imaging system includes transmitting light across a transmission optical path and defining a field of view encompassing both uniform and spatially tenuous target objects within the transmitted light. A sensor within a return optical path of reflected light from at least a portion of one of the target objects allows a data processing computer to compile an image from a series of data outputs from the sensor. The image is analyzed to determine a region of interest within the image and by dynamically adjusting the light source, the computer is configured to change the field of view of the light source such that the image includes a higher resolution and/or signal intensity for the region of interest. The region of interest may include at least one spatially tenuous target object.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: University of South FloridaInventor: Dennis Karl Killinger
