  • SYSTEMS, CIRCUITS, AND METHODS FOR EFFICIENT HIERARCHICAL OBJECT RECOGNITION BASED ON CLUSTERED INVARIANT FEATURES
    Publication number: 20130216143
    Abstract: One embodiment is a method for selecting and grouping key points extracted by applying a feature detector on a scene being analyzed. The method includes grouping the extracted key points into clusters that enforce a geometric relation between members of a cluster, scoring and sorting the clusters, identifying and discarding clusters that are comprised of points which represent the background noise of the image, and sub-sampling the remaining clusters to provide a smaller number of key points for the scene.

  • KEY ACTUATION DETECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20130027310
    Abstract: A manual pointing device for a computer system, the device having at least one key that can be actuated manually by a user, a click-event detection module coupled to the key to detect actuation thereof on first, second, and third detection axes via an inertial sensing circuit elastically coupled to a casing with a board, the inertial-sensor circuit structured to be carried on the board so as to oscillate and to rotate about the second detection axis.
