  • Patent number: 7693299
    Abstract: A method, system, computer-readable medium and data structure are provided for processing image data in connection with image recognition. A response of an image (FIG. 6 element 210) to a basis tensor can be determined after the image is applied thereto. The image response can be flattened (FIG. 6 element 220). A coefficient vector may be extracted from the image response (FIG. 6 element 230). The extracted coefficient vector may be compared to a plurality of different parameters stored in coefficient rows of a matrix (FIG. 6 element 240).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 13, 2005
    Date of Patent: April 6, 2010
    Assignee: New York University
    Inventors: Manuela Alex O. Vasilescu, Demetri Terzopoulos

  • Patent number: 7379925
    Abstract: A data structure, method, storage medium and logic arrangement are provided for use in collecting and analyzing multilinear data describing various characteristics of different objects. In particular it is possible to recognize an unknown object or an unknown viewpoint of an object, as well as synthesize a known viewpoint never before recorded of an object, and reduce the amount of stored data describing an object or viewpoint by using dimensionality reduction techniques, and the like.
