Abstract: Exemplary systems and methods are directed to generating synthetic data for computer vision. A processing device generates a synthetic three-dimensional (3D) image of an object. A background image is selected, and a composite image is generated by combining the 3D image of the object and the background image. The processing device simulates: reflection or emission of at least one type of radiant energy from the surface of the object and/or the background according to a set of parameters associated with at least one of the object and the background image; and a reflectance or emittance measurement of the at least one type of radiant energy from the surface of the object by a sensor device configured for detecting the at least one type of radiant energy. The processing device generates a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) simulated images of different perspectives of the object based on simulation data.

Abstract: A conveyor in a machine tool system is dynamically controlled. A volume of material to be conveyed by the conveyor is iteratively determined. During each iteration, a current position of a tool is determined. An intersection of a tool model representing the tool at the current position and a workpiece model representing a workpiece is determined and a nominal volume of material removed from the workpiece by the tool based on the intersection of the tool model and the workpiece model is determined. The volume of material to be conveyed is updated based on the nominal volume of material removed from the workpiece and an operating state of the conveyor. The operating state of the conveyor is controlled based on the updated volume of material to be conveyed.

Abstract: For logging browser data, the method compiles a string representing metadata of an operating environment for a browser displaying webpage content from a Web server. The method further compiles a Document Object Model (DOM) string representing at least one DOM element of the webpage content. In addition, the method logs the metadata string and the DOM string within a data store accessible by the web server.

Abstract: One aspect of the present invention includes capturing a client browser state and communicating this captured browser state within markup text for logging at a web server. In one embodiment, the contents of the DOM (Document Object Model) of a webpage accessed by a client are traversed and written as markup text in a string of characters, such as HTML. This markup, in addition to metadata specific to identify the browser display environment, is transmitted from the client to the server as text within a HTTP request. The server may then log the markup text and the metadata for later access. The logged markup text and the metadata can be used to recreate the exact display which occurred within the client browser, and therefore provide details useful for webpage problem determination, testing, and development.

Abstract: A method for replicating a volume of data including selecting a target storage box to receive a physical copy of the actual volume of data stored on the source storage box for replication of the actual volume of data, selecting a point in time storage box to receive a physical copy of actual data stored on the target storage box, physically copying actual data stored on the target storage box to the point in time storage box, performing the replication of the actual volume of data by initiating the physical copying on the target storage box of the actual volume of data, and selectively undoing the physical copying on the target storage box of the actual volume of data by replacing the current actual data stored on the target storage box with the physical copy of actual target storage box data stored on the point in time storage box.
