  • Siding identification systems and methods
    Patent number: 8718385
    Abstract: A method for identifying siding includes receiving particular texture data associated with a physical texture of a particular siding sample, accessing a reference database including reference texture data associated with physical texture of multiple different reference siding samples, performing an automated texture data analysis by analyzing the particular texture data associated with the particular siding sample and the reference texture data associated with different reference siding samples, and automatically identifying at least one reference siding sample that matches the particular siding sample based at least on the automated texture data analysis. The particular texture data associated with the physical texture of the particular siding sample may comprise a digital image, such as a photographic or scanned image of the particular siding sample, or a photographic or scanned image of an ink image physically transferred from the particular siding sample onto a substrate.
    Type: Grant

  • Coarse-to-fine navigation through paginated documents retrieved by a text search engine
    Patent number: 8583637
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for visualizing results from a text search engine are described. A query term is first received. A first set of results is generated based on the query term using a database storing documents, and an index of documents, each document having at least one structural element. Structural elements associated with the first set of results are retrieved. A second set of results is generated based a predefined relationship between the structure elements and the query term. A visualization of the second set of results is displayed.
