Abstract: Disclosed herein is a traveler information monitoring and dissemination system. The system disclosed herein provides real time information to a traveler, wherein the real time information may be pre-selected by the traveler. The system ensures consistent and quality data are produced and issued to the traveler.

Abstract: A system for predicting a travel time for a traffic route is disclosed. The traffic route comprises one or more road segments. A predicted travel time for each of those segments is calculated based, in part, on traffic speed data for each of the one or more road segments. A total travel time is then calculated for the route, the total travel time including a predicted travel time for each of the one or more road segments.

Abstract: A system for identifying a fastest possible travel route is disclosed. A traveler data processor collects traffic speed data and associates the traffic speed data with road segments. The road segments collectively represent one or more possible travel routes from a start point to an end point. A forecast engine determines a predicted travel time for each of the road segments based on, for example, the traffic speed data for each of the road segments. A routing engine determines the fastest possible travel route from the start point to the end point. The fastest possible travel route is the possible travel route from the one or more possible travel routes with the shortest predicted travel time.

Abstract: A system adds a graphical image of the strike zone to a video or other image of a baseball game. The system determines location of the strike zone and the ball in real space. The locations of the strike zone and the ball are depicted in the video. Based on knowing the locations of the strike zone and the ball, the system can determines whether the pitch was a strike or a ball.

Abstract: A method of determining a spatial hierarchy for polygon data, comprises obtaining a switching range, and determining a polygon density for the spatial hierarchy, using the switching range and a cube-root scaling factor. Another method of determining a spatial hierarchy for polygon data, comprises determining a cube-root scaling factor based on an altitude parameter, and using the cube-root scaling factor to scale level-of-detail switching ranges for the spatial hierarchy. The methods may be embodied in a computer program (or some unit of code) stored on a computer readable medium, such as a compact disc (i.e. CD), and/or transmitted via a computer network, such as the Internet, or another transmission medium.

Abstract: A system and method for intra-operatively providing a surgeon with visual evaluations of possible surgical outcomes ahead of time, and generating simulated data, includes a medical imaging camera, a registration device for registering data to a physical space, and to the medical imaging camera, and a fusion mechanism for fusing the data and the images to generate simulated data, without correcting for distortion. The simulated data (e.g., such as augmented X-ray images) is natural and easy for a surgeon to interpret. In an exemplary implementation, the system preferably includes a data processor which receives a three-dimensional surgical plan or three-dimensional plan of therapy delivery, one or a plurality of two-dimensional intra-operative images, a three-dimensional model of pre-operative data, registration data, and image calibration data.

Abstract: A computer implemented method is disclosed for increasing the level of detail of a polygonal surface. A first step of the method provides data in a memory of a computer (50) for representing a polygonal surface that is defined at least by a plurality of vertices, triangles and edges. Further steps of the method include providing a list of marked edges; cutting through the marked edges thereby creating new boundary vertices; applying displacements to the new boundary vertices thereby generating at least one hole in the surface, the hole being bounded by the displaced new boundary vertices; and filling the at least one hole with a forest of triangles. The step of providing data for representing the polygonal surface preferably includes a step of appending artificial vertices and triangles to the polygonal surface to fill potential boundary holes; and then subsequently removing or ignoring the artificial vertices and triangles when rendering the surface for display.
