Abstract: Systems and methods that efficiently and effectively generate an enhanced document image of a displayed document in an image frame captured from a live image feed are disclosed. For example, systems and methods described herein apply a document enhancement process to a displayed document in an image frame that result in an enhanced document image that is cropped, rectified, un-shadowed, and with dark text against a mostly white background. Additionally, systems and method described herein determine whether a stored digital content item includes a displayed document. In response to determining that a stored digital content item does include a displayed document, systems and methods described herein generate an enhanced document image of a displayed document included in the stored digital content item.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for integration of semantic data processing in a device, in particular in a field device of automation technology. In this case, a generic description language scheme is used to define a semantic repository as a starting basis. According to the invention, said description language scheme is enriched with content from an ontology for semantic representation of a mode of operation of the device. Classes and/or subclasses of the ontology, together with at least one characteristic assigned to the classes and/or subclasses and taken from the ontology, are converted into a corresponding scheme declaration and said scheme declaration is inserted into the description language scheme. One or more grammars arc then generated from the description language scheme, preferably grammars according to the standardised data format “Efficient XML Interchange”, abbreviated to EXI, which arc integrated in the device.

Abstract: Mechanisms for providing text components of a text stream in a display area are disclosed. Text components of a text stream are provided for presentation in a display area of a display. An eye system of a user is concurrently analyzed while providing the text components for presentation in the display area. Based on analyzing the eye system, a stream control command that requests a change in a characteristic of the presentation of the text components is determined. In response to the stream control command, the presentation of the text components is altered in accordance with the stream control command.

Abstract: To overcome the difficulties inherent in conventional treatment planning approaches, new techniques are described herein for providing an intuitive user interface for automatic structure derivation in patient modeling. In an embodiment, a graphical user interface is provided that provides a list of structures of a specified region. The interface uses medical terminology instead of mathematical one. In one or more embodiments, the list of structures may be a pre-defined list of structures that correspond to that region for the purposes of treatment planning. A user is able to actuate a toggle to include and/or exclude each of the structures separately. In one or more embodiments, the user is also able to actuate a toggle to define a perimeter around each included structure, and further define a margin around the perimeter. The user is also able to specify whether the desired output should include a union or the intersection of all included structures.

Abstract: A touchless human computer interface (HCI) provides a virtual surface in three-dimensional space and a zone of restriction for defining a level of sensitivity to movements in order to cancel noise that may be caused by natural wobble of a human appendage. The touchless HCI may receive input regarding a user movement, process the input to generate clean gesture data and analyze at least one dynamic variable to determine an interpreted action based upon a relationship of the clean gesture data with respect to the virtual surface.

Abstract: A technique of improving input text processing in a data processing system that answers questions includes receiving a question from a user. The question has associated supporting original input text that is utilized in answering the question. Corrective measures are applied to the supporting original input text to create supporting revised input text. The supporting revised input text documents corrective measures applied to the supporting original input text. An answer to the question is generated based on, at least in part, the supporting revised input text. The supporting original input text is recreated from the supporting revised input text based on the documented corrective measures in the supporting revised input text subsequent to generating the answer. The answer and the supporting original input text as recreated are transmitted to the user.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes identifying a summary of a single instance of content, monitoring user interaction with the summary, and determining a relevancy of the summary to the single instance of content, based on the user interaction.

Abstract: A method and system for using the Internet to archive and retrieve web-based reference material includes a first communications device connected to the Internet. A database receives from a user via the first communications device a URL or other identification of certain reference material on the World Wide Web. After receiving the identification information from the user, the database obtains and stores a copy of the reference material and associates with it a distinctive key. A second communications device is connected to the Internet for an audience of the reference material to use. The database receives from the audience via the second communications device the distinctive key representing a request for a copy of the identified reference material. The database transmits a copy of the web-based reference material to the audience.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for automated selection of navigation points for navigating through a computer-generated virtual environment such as, for example, a virtual reality (VR) environment. Specifically, an input set of connected navigation points in a virtual environment is automatically pruned to a connected subset thereof, according to one or more selection factors where at least one of the selection factors is whether the subset will continue to be “connected” after pruning a navigation point from the input set. In addition to whether the pruning of a navigation point will allow the remaining navigation points to remain connected, techniques for pruning based on one or more additional selection factors are also disclosed. According to one additional selection factor, navigation point pruning is based on the degree to which coverage of an input set of navigation points would be reduced by pruning any given navigation point from the input set.
