Publication number: 20180232698Abstract: A computer processor may extract identity information from a document. The identity information may include at least one custodian identity attribute. After extracting the identity information, the computer processor may determine that the identity information is associated with a specific custodian. The computer processor may then search for the custodian identity attribute in a custodian directory to determine whether the custodian directory contains an entry for the custodian. If the custodian is not in the custodian directory, the computer processor may create a new entry in the custodian directory for the custodian and store the extracted identity information in the new entry.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2018Publication date: August 16, 2018Inventors: Michael Baessler, Jochen Doerre, Thomas A. P. Hampp-Bahnmueller, Philipp Hoffmann, Juergen Maletz, Daniel Pittner, Werner Schollenberger

Patent number: 9898516Abstract: A computer manages methods for determining accurate document transformation by rendering the source document into a non-rasterized format, where the non-rasterized format is a rendered source document. The computer rendering the target document into a non-rasterized format, where the non-rasterized format is a rendered target document. The computer comparing one or more aspects of the rendered source document to corresponding one or more aspects of the rendered target document. The computer determining, based, at least in part, on the compared one or more aspects, whether or not the source document was accurately transformed to the target document.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2016Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael Baessler, Thomas A.

Publication number: 20180009395Abstract: A method is provided for determining a position for a camera on an outer skin of a vehicle, the position being determined such that the camera can detect an object at a visual reference point behind the vehicle. The method identifies a lateral surface which, in an initial position, is parallel to an XZ plane of the vehicle at a lateral distance from a central x-axis of the vehicle, the lateral distance depending on a maximum width of the vehicle. The method identifies an axis of rotation for the lateral surface which is parallel to a z-axis of the vehicle and which extends through the visual reference point. The method determines a point of intersection of the lateral surface rotated, starting from the initial position, about the axis of rotation with the outer skin of the vehicle. The method determines the position for the camera based on the point of intersection.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2017Publication date: January 11, 2018Inventor: Philipp HOFFMANN

Publication number: 20170116710Abstract: A driver assistance system and a method for merging partial images to form an image of a contiguous surrounding region of a mode of transport are provided. The method includes the following steps: detecting a first partial region of the surrounding region by a first environmental sensor; detecting a second partial region of the surrounding region by a second environmental sensor; generating a first partial image of the first partial region on the basis of a signal from the first environmental sensor; generating a second partial image of the second partial region on the basis of a signal of the second environmental sensor and a multiplicity of virtual sensors for detecting the second partial region; and merging the first partial image and the second partial image along a straight first joining line, wherein the virtual sensors are arranged at positions substantially on a perpendicular to the joining line.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2017Publication date: April 27, 2017Inventors: Torsten SCHMIDT, Philipp HOFFMANN
