  • Publication number: 20150269425
    Abstract: An image processing system comprises an image processor configured to determine velocity of a hand in a plurality of images, and to selectively enable dynamic gesture recognition for at least one image responsive to the determined velocity. By way of example, the image processor illustratively includes a dynamic gesture preprocessing detector and a dynamic gesture recognizer, with the dynamic gesture preprocessing detector being configured to determine the velocity of the hand for a current frame and to compare the determined velocity to a specified velocity threshold. If the determined velocity is greater than or equal to the velocity threshold, the dynamic gesture recognizer operates on the current frame, and otherwise the dynamic gesture recognizer is bypassed for the current frame. The dynamic gesture recognizer when enabled is configured to generate similarity measures for respective ones of a plurality of gestures of a gesture vocabulary for the current frame.

  • Publication number: 20060258304
    Abstract: An apparatus for dynamic diversity signal reception based upon receiver-side link quality assessments includes two or more antennae. At least one switch is connected to the two or more antennae. A dynamic diversity controller is connected to the at least one switch. The dynamic diversity controller includes a link quality assessor to assess link quality and generate a link characterization value. A diversity configuration selector, responsive to the link characterization value, selectively activates the at least one switch to implement a dynamic diversity configuration. The link quality assessor includes a signal strength analyzer, a modem detector, and/or a MAC layer analyzer to assess the received signal and generate the link characterization value.
