Patent number: 10469484Abstract: Implementations disclosed herein provide for a third-party application an ability to access a first-party notification interface without receiving credentials linked to a first-party user account. In addition, a device-level permission is established such that each third-party application operating on a client device does not need to seek permission to access the notification interface. A third-party application may request an access code from a client device. The access code may be presented to an authentication server. The authentication server may provide an access token and a refresh token to the third-party application.

Patent number: 9188444Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer storage mediums are provided for correcting the placement of an object on an image. An example method includes providing the image and depth data that describes the depth of the three-dimensional scene captured by the image. The depth data describes at least a distance between a camera that captured the three-dimensional scene and one or more structures in the scene and a geolocation of the camera when the three-dimensional scene was captured. When the object is moved from a first location on the image to a second location on the image, a set of coordinates that describes the second location relative to the image is received. The set of coordinates are then translated into geolocated coordinates that describe a geolocation that corresponds to the second location. The set of coordinate is translated, at least in part, using the depth data associated with the image.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2012Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Stéphane Lafon, Jie Shao

Patent number: 7831074Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for populating a database with a set of images of an anatomical structure. The database is used to perform appearance matching in image pairs of the anatomical structure. A set of image pairs of anatomical structures is received, where each image pair is annotated with a plurality of location-sensitive regions that identify a particular aspect of the anatomical structure. Weak learners are iteratively selected and an image patch is identified. A boosting process is used to identify a strong classifier based on responses to the weak learners applied to the identified image patch for each image pair. The responses comprise a feature response and a location response associated with the image patch. Positive and negative image pairs are generated. The positive and negative image pairs are used to learn a similarity function. The learned similarity function and iteratively selected weak learners are stored in the database.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2006Date of Patent: November 9, 2010Assignee: Siemens CorporationInventors: Shaohua Kevin Zhou, Jie Shao, Jonathan Dowdall, Adrian Barbu, Bogdan Georgescu, Dorin Comaniciu

A plurality of video streams is received. Each video stream includes a series of image frames that depict an object in motion. Each video stream includes an index of identified motion phases that are associated with a motion cycle of the object. For each video stream, a shape of the object is represented by a shape vector. An appearance of an object is represented by an appearance vector. The shape and appearance vectors associated at two consecutive motion phases are concatenated. Paired data for the concatenated shape and appearance vectors is computed. Paired data is computed for each two consecutive motion phases in the motion cycle. A shape subspace is constructed based on the computed paired data. An appearance subspace is constructed based on the computed paired data.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2006Date of Patent: November 17, 2009Assignee: Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.Inventors: Shaohua Kevin Zhou, Jie Shao, Dorin Comaniciu, Bogdan Georgescu
