  • Publication number: 20240103156
    Abstract: A system and method for satellite imaging are provided. The system includes a first satellite, a trailing satellite, and a ground terminal. The first satellite acquires synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image data in a first predetermined signal frequency band at a first imaging location and transmits the SAR image data to a ground terminal. The ground terminal determines a second imaging location from the SAR image data and transmits the second imaging location to the trailing satellite. The trailing satellite acquires higher resolution image data in a second predetermined signal frequency band at the second imaging location and transmits the image data to the ground terminal. Systems and methods for satellite imaging are also provided in which a first satellite captures image data and processes the image data onboard to generate a processed product which is transmitted to a receiving terminal at a ground terminal or on a second satellite.

  • Patent number: 11941066
    Abstract: A central database system provides predictive web navigation using machine learning and clustering to guide a user to a web page. After tracking a number of web pages viewed by various users on one or more web domains and the orders in which these web pages are viewed, the central database system can train a model to predict which web page a user is likely to view next. If the user is lost while navigating, the central database system may guide the user to the predicted web page. In one example of guidance, the central database system presents a web element with a hyperlink to the predicted web page. For example, the central database system can modify a web page that the lost user is presently viewing to include an iframe with a recommendation to travel to a different web page.

  • Publication number: 20240094007
    Abstract: An Augmented Reality (AR) wayfinder tracks the current location of a user within an indoor location relative to a path defined through the indoor location for the user. The path is broken into segments, each segment is a straight line between two nodes, and each node represents either a starting point in the path, a turn along the path, or an ending point in the path. As the user traverses the path, a remaining distance between the user device and the next node in the path is calculated. An AR object with attributes that correlate to the remaining distance to the next node is blended into and superimposed into a video that the user is viewing through the user device of the physical environment as the user travels along the path.
