  • Patent number: 8218011
    Abstract: If an active smart node detects that an object leaves a center region of a FOV for a boundary region, the active smart node predicts a possible path of the object. When the object gets out of the FOV, the active smart node predicts the object appears in a FOV of another smart node according to the possible path and a spatial relation between cameras. The active smart node notifies another smart node to become a semi-active smart node which determines an image characteristic similarity between the object and a new object and returns to the active smart node if a condition is satisfied. The active smart node compares the returned characteristic similarity, an object discovery time at the semi-active smart node, and a distance between the active smart node and the semi-active smart node to calculate possibility.

  • Publication number: 20050171910
    Abstract: A method for integrating enterprise collaborative operations in the product lifecycle management (PLM) and a system thereof are proposed. The system comprises at least a message server, at least a web server, a system engineering service platform server, at least a PLM application system server and an enterprise portal server. The system can build a system integration environment between customers, central manufacturers, and providers and offer a collaborative platform between enterprises. Information can thus be interchanged in real time in this system integration environment in the whole PLM from idea through specification requirement, design, development, manufacturing to termination, thereby providing a system integration method and environment for collaborative management, development, manufacturing and marketing between enterprises, providers and customers.
