Publication number: 20230138779Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate performing registration of a first image to a second image where the first image is undistorted to linear space before applying a geometric transformation matrix to modify the first image to align with the second image. The geometric transformation matrix may be a linear matrix that causes the undistorted version of the first image to make translation movement, rotational movement or both. The undistorted and modified first image is then reverted back to nonlinear distorted space. Then the reverted first image may be warped to better align with the second image for fusing with the second image. In this way, visual distortions in the fused image such as wobbling may be reduced or eliminated.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2021Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Kaiming Liu, Maxim Smirnov, William T. Warner, David Pope, Hui Chao, Jason Holloway

Publication number: 20230061590Abstract: A method of textual data analysis is provided. The method comprises parsing text data extracted from transcripts related to a number of companies. Intermediate metrics are created comprising numerical representations of the parsed text data and derivations. The intermediate metrics are then combined into different combinations comprising headline analytics. A machine learning model tests each headline analytic for standalone predictive efficacy. Headline analytics with standalone predictive efficacies above a first threshold are selected and then tested for additive predictive efficacy to determine if the selected headline analytic incrementally increases the predictive efficacy of a preexisting economic analytic above a second threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2021Publication date: March 2, 2023Inventors: Fanxi Zhao, David Pope, Daniel Sandberg, Temilade Oyeniyi, Ashish Sumsher Rana, Eric Oak

Patent number: 9967534Abstract: A method and apparatus for a digital video recorder (DVR) video editing system provides a user interface and video editing environment for content stored on a DVR's storage device. A visual progress indicator is displayed over the program content that the user has selected to edit. The user moves a position indicator within a cache bar in the visual progress indicator that indicates how much of the program content has been stored on the storage device. The user can delete sections of the program content. The user can also add other recorded program content into the program content. The deleted sections and added content are highlighted in the cache bar by colors that are different from the normal color used for the cache bar.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2005Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: TiVo Solutions Inc.Inventors: Matthew Flannery, Margret Schmidt, David Pope

Publication number: 20140050360Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for presence detection using an image system. The image system may be a camera that is integrated into an electronic device. In some embodiments, the image system can accommodate multiple operating modes of the electronic device. For example, when the electronic device is operating in a normal power mode, control circuitry of the image system can detect when a user has left and is no longer using the electronic device. When the electronic device is operating in a power saving mode, the control circuitry can detect user presence (e.g., when a user has come back to the electronic device). In some embodiments, the control circuitry can adjust for both gradual and sudden light changes.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2013Publication date: February 20, 2014Applicant: Aptina Imaging CorporationInventors: Sheng Lin, David Pope

Patent number: 8612546Abstract: Systems and methods for transferring data among computing environments include a method for transferring data items among a portion of a remote computing environment and a portion of a local computing environment using a presentation layer protocol. Data items are transferred during transfer cycles and upon the release of data objects into a destination computing environment. Transfer cycles may transfer data among local and remote computing environments, among more than one remote computing environment, and may further transfer in parallel with other transfer cycles. A first transfer cycle transferring a first data item continues to transfer the first data item when a second transfer cycle initializes and transfers a second data item during a portion of the first transfer cycle. Data operations may be performed on data items during the transfer of a data item, and data items may be compressed or segmented prior to transfer.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2012Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventors: Pooja Trivedi, Georgy Momchilov, David Pope

Publication number: 20130031162Abstract: The present application is directed to methods and systems for providing social interaction within a customized media streaming service. In one aspect, the present application is directed to methods and systems for automated playlist generation based on social metadata. These systems allow for an internet media delivery service to learn about a user's preferences, and changes in those preferences over time, without the user being required to tell the service directly, but rather through social networking profiles and relationships to one or more similar or related users. This allows the service to immediately, without any input from the listener, play programming that is likely to be enjoyed by the user. It also allows the service to learn about changes in a listener's preferences over time without requiring the user to actively express the preferences.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2012Publication date: January 31, 2013Inventors: Myk Willis, David Pope, John Collette, Scott CLark
