Publication number: 20110106312Abstract: A machine vision system for controlling the alignment of an arm in a robotic handling system. The machine vision system includes an optical imager aligned to simultaneously capture an image that contains a view of the side of an object, such as a test tube, along with a view of the top of the object provided by a mirror appropriately positioned on the robotic arm. The machine vision system further includes a microcontroller or similar device for interpreting both portions of the image. For example, the microcontroller may be programmed to determine the location of the object in the reflected portion of the image and transpose that information into the location of the object relative to the robotic arm. The microcontroller may also be programmed to decode information positioned on the object by interpreting visual information contained in the other portion of the captured image.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2009Publication date: May 5, 2011Applicant: JADAK, LLCInventors: Mo Chen, Robert Mumford Gowans

Publication number: 20100121792Abstract: Directed graph embedding is described. In one implementation, a system explores the link structure of a directed graph and embeds the vertices of the directed graph into a vector space while preserving affinities that are present among vertices of the directed graph. Such an embedded vector space facilitates general data analysis of the information in the directed graph. Optimal embedding can be achieved by measuring local affinities among vertices via transition probabilities between the vertices, based on a stationary distribution of Markov random walks through the directed graph. For classifying linked web pages represented by a directed graph, the system can train a support vector machine (SVM) classifier, which can operate in a user-selectable number of dimensions.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2008Publication date: May 13, 2010Inventors: Qiong Yang, Mo Chen, Xiaoou Tang

Publication number: 20080136820Abstract: Progressive cut interactive object segmentation is described. In one implementation, a system analyzes strokes input by the user during iterative image segmentation in order to model the user's intention for refining segmentation. In the user intention model, the color of each stroke indicates the user's expectation of pixel label change to foreground or background, the location of the stroke indicates the user's region of interest, and the position of the stroke relative to a previous segmentation boundary indicates a segmentation error that the user intends to refine. Overexpansion of pixel label change is controlled by penalizing change outside the user's region of interest while overshrinkage is controlled by modeling the image as an eroded graph. In each iteration, energy consisting of a color term, a contrast term, and a user intention term is minimized to obtain a segmentation map.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2007Publication date: June 12, 2008Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Qiong Yang, Chao Wang, Mo Chen, Xiaoou Tang, Zhongfu Ye
