Patent number: 8514266Abstract: Embodiments of this invention relates to orthorectifying oblique imagery to a nadir view. In an embodiment, a method orthorectifies oblique photographic imagery. An oblique photographic image is projected onto a three-dimensional model of terrain. Points are sampled from the projected photographic image at the intersection of the three-dimensional model of terrain and parallel rays extended from a virtual viewport having a nadir perspective. The sampled points are assembled into an orthorectified image. Finally, the orthorectified image or the sampled points are adjusted approximately according to a difference in tilt angle between a camera that captured the oblique photographic image and the viewport having the nadir perspective to generate a foreshortened orthorectified image. Each location in the foreshortened orthorectified image corresponds linearly to a corresponding location in a two-dimensional map.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2012Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Randall Wilson, Charles C.

Patent number: 8233741Abstract: A method for reducing building lean in stitched images includes accessing overlapping images of a geographic area, and calculating a pixel preference cost for each pixel region of a plurality of pixel regions in each image based on a location of the respective pixel region in a three-dimensional projection of each image. The method also includes selecting a pixel region from the images for each of a plurality of pixel region positions in the geographic area by reducing a cost function that includes the pixel preference cost, and assigning the respective selected pixel region to each of the pixel region positions to create the stitched image containing the building with reduced lean. In another embodiment, the pixel preference cost includes a distance from center cost that is based on a distance to the respective pixel region from the center of the image. Corresponding systems and computer readable media are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2009Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Randall Wilson, Charles C.

Publication number: 20070135090Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for warning telephone and wireless customers of a localized emergency condition such as a tornado. The agency responsible for such notification sends a message to an emergency transmission unit. This unit will then cause a warning to be sent to all cellular stations in a plurality of cells defined by the notification message. A similar warning can be sent to land-based stations in the geographic area defined by these cells. Advantageously, the telephone and wireless customers of the affected area can be warned quickly.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2005Publication date: June 14, 2007Inventors: Ronald Martin, Randall Wilson

Publication number: 20060058109Abstract: This pocket size small light hinged golf ball pick up and tee placement device clips on to the grip of most any golf club. It is disclosed here to allow a golfer to repeatedly pick up golf balls and place them on the tee at the driving range or out on the golf course. The fold up open ring ball-holder is shaped with two down facing semilunar curved prongs that easily slides under and around the golf ball to be picked up off any surface and place it on the tee. The tee chamber firmly holds the tee within a tapered conical released platform that conforms to the taper of the flange of the tee which is kept from wobbling by a second semicircular notched platform below that closely fits around the shaft of the tee. The tee can then be firmly placed into the ground at any desired depth. The grip chamber holds the grip of the golf club with a close fitting socket at the end with two flexible flat flanged prongs farther up the grip.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2004Publication date: March 16, 2006Inventor: Byron Randall Wilson

Publication number: 20060055627Abstract: A method of randomizing elements into a random pattern on a surface so the random pattern of elements substantially entirely consumes a region of the surface includes choosing an overlap distance and creating an initial pattern of elements that substantially entirely consumes a region of the surface, wherein neighboring elements overlap by the overlap distance. The method also includes choosing a maximum displacement distance, and displacing the elements by random displacement distances from their positions in the initial pattern, the random displacement distances being less than the maximum displacement distance. Moreover, a signed difference in displacement between two neighboring elements is not greater than the overlap distance. An apparatus including the elements is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2004Publication date: March 16, 2006Inventor: Randall Wilson
