  • Patent number: 10403030
    Abstract: Techniques for computing a volume of interest for photogrammetric 3D reconstruction are provided. According to one set of embodiments, a computer system can receive a plurality of observations of a scene captured by a camera operator via one or more cameras and, for each observation in the plurality of observations, determine a likelihood distribution function that outputs, for each point in 3D real coordinate space, a likelihood that the point was of interest to the camera operator in view of the observation. The computer system can further combine the likelihood distribution functions for the plurality of observations into an aggregate likelihood distribution function and can compute a volume of interest using the aggregate likelihood distribution function. The computer system can then perform a photogrammetric 3D reconstruction of the scene, where the photogrammetric 3D reconstruction is constrained to objects within the volume of interest.

  • Patent number: 9405523
    Abstract: A system includes a memory and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The processor accesses a particular build schedule from one or more build schedules stored in the memory. The processor accesses, according to the particular build schedule, one or more artifacts and a label associated with the one or more artifacts stored in one or more data repositories. The label associated with the one or more artifacts corresponds to a particular software environment. The processor builds a software package using the one or more artifacts and deploys the software package to the software environment corresponding to the label of the one or more artifacts.

  • Patent number: 9238907
    Abstract: A splash guard includes a central base having a first linear margin and a second linear margin parallel to the first linear margin, a first wall connected to the central base along the first linear margin, the first wall having an upper portion extending upward from the central base to define a splash shield and having a lower portion extending downward from the central base to engage a host structure, and a second wall connected to the central base along the second linear margin, the second wall extending downward from the central base such that a channel for engaging a host structure is defined by the central base, the lower portion of the first wall, and the second wall.

  • Patent number: 8104673
    Abstract: Method and system for processing image returns. Embodiments of the invention provide for automating data flow and reporting processes connected with administrate image returns to a financial institution with multiple image processing sites. A computer-implemented method of processing a cash letter file identifying returned items includes obtaining an identifier for a processing site for each item identified in the cash letter file. A separate report corresponding to each processing site as indicated by the identifier is assembled. The report lists each returned item for the processing site. Each separate report is forwarded to each processing site to enable the processing site to re-process just the returned items specific to the processing site. Provision is also made for automatically updated stored ledger information based on a cash letter settlement table.
