  • Patent number: 11798273
    Abstract: A system is provided for identifying and quantizing a change in a scene having objects based on comparison of features representing a target object derived from a first image and a second image that includes the target object. The system segments, based on a scene model of the scene, a second image that includes the target object to identify a second area representing the target object within the second image. The system extracts, from the second image, second features for the target object based on the second area. The system determines a second effectiveness of the second features indicating effectiveness of the second features in representing the target object. The system detects a change based on a difference between first features and the second features factoring in a first effectiveness and the second effectiveness.

  • Patent number: 10546051
    Abstract: An annotation system for providing annotations for original images is provided. In some embodiments, the annotation system accesses an annotation associated with an object of a 3D model. The annotation system also accesses and displays an original image. The annotation system renders a model image of the 3D model based on the view from which the original image was collected. When the model image contains the annotated object, the annotation system provides an indication that an annotation is associated with the object of the original image. The annotation system can provide indications of the annotation for other original images that include the annotated object irrespective of the view from which the other original images are collected.

  • Patent number: 5154518
    Abstract: A bearing chocking assembly for mill rolls includes an inner ring engageable with the bearing structure and having on its outer face axially inclined wedge-shaped cam surfaces. These surfaces are arranged to come into contact with similar mating surfaces on the inward face on an outer ring. Both of the rings have circumferential flanges with axial holes around their entire circumference to enable the flanges to be bolted together upon being rotated to effect axial positioning of the assembly. The inner ring rests on a surface of the mill roll shaft and is secured in place by a split thrust ring disposed in the shaft groove. This assembly enables a mill roll to be removed for regrinding and replaced without separating the rings from one another and avoids the need for removing a split inner adjustment ring from the groove. Provision of flanges with holes around their entire circumferences allows for fine adjustments over a wide range of positions.
