  • Method and System for Optimization of a Human-Machine Team for Geographic Region Digitization
    Publication number: 20240371145
    Abstract: A method that includes receiving a set of one or more images, each having one or more sets of pixels, receiving a ground truth value that a vertex point associated with a transition between two regions in a respective set of pixels, identifying a machine placement candidate vertex point for a first set of pixels, determining a set of one or more selected candidate features in the set of candidate features that maximizes an objective function that identifies an accuracy of the identified machine placement candidate vertex point compared to the respective ground truth for a respective set of pixels, updating a set of one or more basis features by adding the set of one or more selected candidate features that maximizes the objective function, and training a machine learning model based on the updated set of one or more basis features to identify additional vertex points for a transition.

  • Assembly patterns by feature association
    Patent number: 7068271
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide for drawing a graphical element in a computer-implemented drawing program. An existing instance of a graphical element pattern that defines a graphical distribution of multiple occurrences of a source graphical element is identified in a computer-implemented drawing program. A second graphical element is then associated with the existing instance of the graphical element pattern. In response to the associating, multiple occurrences of the second graphical element are positioned in accordance with the graphical element pattern.
