Abstract: A system and method for performing distributed facial recognition divides processing steps between a user engagement device/robot, having lower processing power, and a remotely located server, having significantly more processing power. Images captured by the user engagement device/robot are processed at the device/robot by applying a first set of image processing steps that includes applying a first face detection. First processed images having at least one detected face is transmitted to the server, whereat a second set of image processing steps are applied to determine a stored user facial image matching the detected face of the first processed image. At least one user property associated to the given matching user facial image is then transmitted to the user engagement device/robot. An interactive action personalized to the user can further be performed at the user engagement device/robot.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for manipulating a mesh for the discretization of a reservoir domain, the reservoir domain modeled by a geophysical model, a fluid model, or both models. The method includes the use of cells partitioning the reservoir domain wherein each cell includes a numerical mesh. The mesh of the reservoir domain is the union of the meshes located in the plurality of cells. The partitioning of the domain into a plurality of cells allows easy modification of specific regions of the domain wherein re-meshing requirements are limited to those cells housing modified elements and maybe some surrounding cells.

Abstract: A method and system for privacy-aware movement tracking includes receiving a series of images of a field of view, such as captured by a camera. The images containing movement of an unidentified person within the field of view. A body region corresponding to the person is detected within the images. A movement dataset for the unidentified person is generated based on tracking movement of the body region over the fired of view within the images is generated. A characterizing feature set is determined for the unidentified person. The set is associated within the movement dataset to form a first track entry. Anonymizing of the body region can be applied to remove identifying features while or prior to determining the characterizing feature set. A second track entry can be generated from a second series of images and match between the track entries can be determined. A method and system for privacy-aware operation and learning of a computer-implemented classification module is also contemplated.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a computer implemented method for manipulating a numerical model of a 3D domain, said numerical model comprising geometrical entities such as layers, fractures, discontinuities, facies, etc., being identified as geometrical entities because they can be defined by its shape. The resulting data storage block is very large. The management of such large data bases or data storage block may be unaffordable as simple operations over one or more geometrical entities require the processing of the entire data base. The method provides an efficient management of the data base by a set of specific lists of indexing keys increasing the speed of access, for instance for writing and reading operations, for one or more determined geometrical entities.

Abstract: A system, method and program product for managing hydrocarbon energy production. A hydrocarbon field modeler models physical characteristics of a hydrocarbon energy field. A load predictor predicts processing workload in modeling the hydrocarbon energy field, and identifying a balanced modeling unit distribution across multiple processors simulating field production. A load distribution unit distributes the modeling units across the processors for a balanced modeling unit distribution.

Abstract: A method and computer program product for managing hydrocarbon field production, e.g., petro-chemical reservoir production. The hydrocarbon field is modeled using the finite volume method (FVM) model and the finite element method (FEM). Centroids are located in each FVM cell and each FEM element and overlapping cells are identified. After determining the distance between centroids for overlapping cells, fluid characteristics are mapped to the FEM element centroids, weighted inversely for distance between the respective centroids. A permeability/conductivity weighted average is determined for pore pressure and temperature of sub-volumes clustered around each FEM element node. Field production may be adjusted in response to FEM element node characteristics.
