Publication number: 20200159985Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises storing a plurality of construction project specification documents in a data storage system. The method further comprises, for each of the plurality of construction project specification documents, extracting a plurality of blocks of text from the document, extracting formatting information for the document based on the extracted text blocks, generating a location descriptor for each of the text blocks based on the formatting information, the location descriptor indicating the location of the text block within the document, determining the type of text contained in each of the text blocks, and storing the location descriptor and the type of text contained in the text block for each of the text blocks.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2020Publication date: May 21, 2020Applicant: ISQFT, INC.Inventors: Christopher K. Eveland, John W. Caven, III, Robert B. Menzel

Patent number: 10540401Abstract: A system comprises a data storage system, data analysis logic, and user interface logic. The data analysis logic is configured to analyze the documents and to identify documents that satisfy search criteria received from a user. The user interface logic is configured to generate a user interface. The user interface logic is also configured to generate a plurality of charts for display to the user. The user can interact with the charts to specify modified search criteria. The user interface logic is configured to receive modified search criteria from the user via one of the charts and update the remaining charts to reflect the modified search criteria.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2019Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: iSqFt, Inc.Inventors: Christopher K. Eveland, John W. Caven, III, Robert B. Menzel, Michael E. Lehman

Patent number: 7620265Abstract: A methodology for forming a composite color image fusion from a set of N gray level images takes advantage of the natural decomposition of color spaces into 2-D chromaticity planes and 1-D intensity. This is applied to the color fusion of thermal infrared and reflective domain (e.g., visible) images whereby chromaticity representation of this fusion is invariant to changes in reflective illumination.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2005Date of Patent: November 17, 2009Assignee: Equinox CorporationInventors: Lawrence B. Wolff, Diego A. Socolinsky, Christopher K. Eveland

Patent number: 7406184Abstract: A methodology and apparatus is described that incorporates the use of thermal infrared imaging into a complete end-to-end face recognition system. Since thermal infrared primarily images emissive phenomenology there are advantages over video imaging in the reflective domain (e.g., visible, near-infrared) for face recognition, particularly with respect to image invariance in the presence of varying illumination incident on the subject. On the other hand video cameras in the reflective domain provide important image detail not apparent in thermal infrared imagery. Fusion of thermal infrared imagery with reflective domain (e.g., visible, near-infrared) imagery provides even further advantages. Embodiments of such systems that incorporate thermal infrared imaging for automatic face recognition are important for access control, verification, identification, and surveillance and monitoring.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2003Date of Patent: July 29, 2008Assignee: Equinox CorporationInventors: Lawrence B. Wolff, Diego A. Socolinsky, Christopher K. Eveland, Andrea Selinger, Joshua D. Neuheisel
