  • Methods, functional data, and systems for image feature translation
    Patent number: 7551783
    Abstract: Methods, functional data, and systems are provided for image feature translation. An image is decomposed into sub images, each sub image having its features identified by feature attributes. The feature attributes are used to identify a particular feature within each sub image. The orientation of the particular feature within the sub image is then mapped or calculated to a value. One or more of the mapped or calculated values are translated into a reading associated with an instrument. The reading is then optionally recorded or transmitted.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 30, 2007
    Date of Patent: June 23, 2009
    Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.
    Inventors: Michael Johnson, Rida M. Hamza, Au W. Kwong, Thomas A. Henderson
