Abstract: The present invention discloses fiducial marker systems or tag systems and methods to detect and decode a tag. The tag comprises a plurality of cells arranged in a grid pattern. The plurality of cells forms a square or rectangular shape. Each cell is in square or rectangular shape and has either black, white, or gray grayscale. Any two cells that share a common borderline should have different grayscales; and the four corner cells of the tag are all in black.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for quickly and easily browsing to points of interest within a recorded video. In examples, the present system works in tandem with a segment list which includes a list of different video sequences of a stored video of an event. One typical example of a segment list is a play-by-play (PBP) which is prepared contemporaneously with a sporting event. Segments from a segment list may be associated with, or indexed to, corresponding sequences from the stored video. Thereafter, a user interface allows a user to interactively watch or browse the event by jumping to a desired point in the video for playback by selecting its associated segment from the user interface.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides for systems and/or methods for identification of instances of an object of interest in 2D images by creating a database of 3D curve models of each desired instance and comparing an image of an object of interest against such 3D curve models of instances. The present application describes identifying and verifying the make and model of a car from a possibly single image—after the models have been populated with training data of test images of many makes and models of cars. In one embodiment, an identification system may be constructed by generating a 3D curve model by back-projecting edge points onto a visual hull reconstruction from silhouettes of an instance. The system and methods employ chamfer distance and orientation distance provides reasonable verification performance, as well as an appearance model for the taillights of the car to increase the robustness of the system.
