Abstract: A system and method of an in-place content management system that allows an organization to bring the power of an enterprise content management (ECM) system (supporting such features as check-out, check-in, security, audit, add, rename, move, delete, classification, legal holds and disposition) to the data where it resides on an NTFS file system, eliminating the need to move it somewhere else and without having to change the way end-users work. A utility or tool for content management that leverages the existing security that is already in place on files and folders and adds basic content management features such as check-out/check-in (preventing multiple users from editing the same document at the same time), audit history, and the ability to add classifications, trigger dispositions, and apply legal holds on documents where they currently reside.

Abstract: A topographical inspection device that employs one or both of a photometric stereo system for determining surface normal for individual pixel locations in an image space and/or dot pattern projection. A device body supports light elements at spaced apart locations to illuminate an inspection region and a dot pattern projector for projecting a dot pattern onto the inspection region. A camera captures images of the surface when illuminated by the light elements and/or dot pattern projector. Controlling the light elements and camera, a first topographical measurement of the inspection region is made based on light intensity in images taken by the camera. A second topographical measurement may be made based on dot pattern projection.

Abstract: A system and a method for locating and visualizing camera images in relation to a large-scale manufacturing product with repetitive structures are disclosed. The system includes a trackable camera device, a tracking subsystem, and an image overlay module. The trackable camera device can capture images of surface features of the large-scale product. The tracking subsystem is configured to generate a tracking record that contains the position and location of the trackable camera device over time. The image overlay module is configured to precisely overlay the captured images on a three-dimensional model of the large-scale product based on where the trackable camera device was tracked when each image was captured. A method is disclosed for using the components of the system to overlay the captured images, and a method of auditing the large-scale product by comparing a region of interest to previously captured images overlaid on a respective three-dimensional model.
