Abstract: A method and a processor for implementing the method are disclosed for processing of an image. A first algorithm is selected to be used for processing information representing an area of interest in the image. A second algorithm is selected to be used for processing information representing an area of the image that is not in the area of interest. The first and second algorithms are applied to their respective portions of the information representing the image.

Abstract: A portable scoreboard system comprising of a microcontroller running a software algorithm that keeps score of a sports game and officiates the game to ensure fair play according to the rules of the sport. The official rules of all the sports are stored in the device memory. The updating of the score is carried out with wireless remote control modules worn by the players and/or users. The score is only updated when the algorithm has confirmed no game rule violations. The real time score information is then displayed on the scoreboard panel plus appropriate audio sounds are played. Game related scores and user settings are stored into memory on a real time basis and can be retrieved externally for post-game analysis.

Abstract: A collapsible and removable roof-like structure or enclosure is provided. The collapsible structure includes a plurality of collapsible sections, each section having two vertical support members having lower end portions and two longitudinal side panel members. Each side panel member has a top edge and side edges. The collapsible structure includes a longitudinal top panel member having opposed edges with each of the longitudinal opposed edges hingedly attached to the adjacent top edge of the each side panel member. The top panel member includes two longitudinal panel members being hinged together at adjacent end edges. Each of the plurality of collapsible sections is of a steadily varying size so that when assembled, they form an extended longitudinal structure. The collapsible structure includes tube members which can be embedded in the ground for receiving the lower end portion of the vertical support members.
