Abstract: The invention provides a system and method that reduces the precision of the manual alignment process. Users select correspondences between projectors or components of a projector, to form a common coordinate. Using models of the display system, and projectors, the common coordinate system can be mapped quickly to the entire display. The process avoids a need to measure screen points, and allows the user to move significantly fewer points. Alternatively, the invention allows introduction of machine-vision style algorithms into manual calibration techniques to improve performance. This overcomes the tediousness of prior systems by introducing models of the display into the manual alignment process, allowing selection of a small number of points on each projector, and avoiding selection of precisely measured screen points. The system conversely finds correspondences between projectors, allowing mapping of the projectors into a common coordinate system, and quick warping of the coordinate system to the screen.

Abstract: Systems, methods and tools facilitate efficient and convenient e-commerce based group ordering. A group order organizer tool allows a group order organizer to create and configure a group order, specify group members, specify and configure information to be solicited from group members, and customize various details of the group order. The group order tool automatically generates member-specific group order notification documents containing member-specific input controls to allow individual group members to input solicited information. Group order notification and management tools send out the group order notification documents to the group members and manage the responses.

Abstract: Design images are inserted into scene rendered animations to depict and preview a design at different lighting angles. In an embodiment, the scene rendered animations use real images (i.e., photographs) of real finishes (such as foil, spot gloss, vinyl, etc.) that will be used in the secondary finish regions of a physical product incorporating the design. The animation facilitates an accurate rendering and depicts a natural appearance of the product as light moves across the product in an animated sequence. Because the appearance of the secondary finish is both natural and accurate, the simulated depiction of the product provides a more realistic expectation of how the final product with the design implemented thereon will look, thereby improving the matching of user expectations with the realities of the physical product.

Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for converting an image to a color-reduced image suitable for embroidery and having colors mapped only to available embroidery thread colors. Pixel color values in the image are snapped to a nearest color in a predetermined reduced set of colors that correspond to embroidery thread colors. The image is then color-reduced by iteratively identifying possible pairs of colors in the color-reduced image and merging at least one identified color pair based on color similarity and edge characteristics until the total number of colors in the color-reduced image is not greater than the predetermined maximum color count.

Abstract: Rendering methods, systems, and computer-readable media for rendering a simulated embroidery design image based on an embroidery design are presented. Given an embroidery design comprising a plurality of stitch representations and a lighting angle for the simulated embroidery design image, embodiments process the stitch representations to determine a stitch length and lighting angle and select from a stitch image database a stitch image corresponding to the stitch length and lighting angle, and place the selected stitch on a rendering canvas in a position corresponding to the stitch position indicated by the stitch representation. When rendered, all of individual stitch image on the rendering canvas appear to be illuminated from the same direction.

Abstract: A mounting system (1) for a rear-facing, entertainment module (3) such as a digital VHF/UHF television, 3G Internet device, or DVD/CD/game player. The mounting system (1) has first and second, principal sections (5,7) with the first section (5) being securable to the upright posts (8,8?) of an automotive headrest (4) and the second section (7) being mounted for pivotal movement relative to the first section (5). The portable entertainment module (3) in turn is then removably attachable to the second section (7) of the mounting system (1) for viewing by a rear-seat passenger. The first section (5) is securely clamped to the upright posts (8,8?) in a fixed position and the second section (7) with the entertainment module (3) attached can be pivoted as desired for best viewing by the passenger. In one embodiment, the first and second sections (5,7) are integral with each other.
