Publication number: 20240045021Abstract: A system for tracking the movement of an object includes a radar device having a first field of view. The radar device generates radar data indicating one of a range corresponding to a distance of a moving object within the first field of view from the radar device and a range rate corresponding to a rate at which the distance is changing relative to the radar device. The system also includes an imager having a second field of view at least partially overlapping the first field of view in an overlap field of view. The imager generates imager data measuring, when the object is in the second field of view, an angular position of the object relative to the imager in at least one dimension. In addition, the system includes a processor combining the radar data and imager data, when the object is in the overlap field of view, to identify a track of the object in at least two dimensions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Fredrik TUXEN, Thomas SØNDERGAARD

Publication number: 20230204720Abstract: A method includes generating an initial radar track using radar data and initial radar parameters and an initial camera track using image angular position data, initial camera parameters, and the radar range data in combination with calculating correction parameters to be applied to one of the radar data and the image data by comparing positions for the object from the initial radar track and the initial camera track, the first correction parameters being selected so that, when applied to the data from the other of the radar and the camera, to generate a first corrected track, a degree of correspondence between the first corrected track and the track of the other of the radar and camera is higher than a degree of correspondence between the initial radar track and the initial camera track.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: Thomas SØNDERGAARD, Fredrik TUXEN, Michael UNGSTRUP

Publication number: 20210223378Abstract: A system for tracking the movement of an object includes a radar device having a first field of view. The radar device generates radar data indicating one of a range corresponding to a distance of a moving object within the first field of view from the radar device and a range rate corresponding to a rate at which the distance is changing relative to the radar device. The system also includes an imager having a second field of view at least partially overlapping the first field of view in an overlap field of view. The imager generates imager data measuring, when the object is in the second field of view, an angular position of the object relative to the imager in at least one dimension. In addition, the system includes a processor combining the radar data and imager data, when the object is in the overlap field of view, to identify a track of the object in at least two dimensions.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2021Publication date: July 22, 2021Inventors: Fredrik TUXEN, Thomas SØNDERGAARD

Publication number: 20210033722Abstract: A method includes capturing first data with a first sensor and second data with a second sensor in a multi-sensor tracking system, the first and second data corresponding to a path of an object, wherein each of the sensors has a set of initial parameters. The method includes generating a first initial object track using the first data and the first initial parameters and a second initial object track using the second data and the second initial parameters, matching the first and second initial object tracks and determining a degree of correspondence therebetween; and calculating first optimized parameters for the first sensor, wherein, when a first optimized object track is calculated using the first data and the first optimized parameters, the first optimized object track and the second initial object track have a higher degree of correspondence therebetween than the first and second initial object tracks.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2019Publication date: February 4, 2021Inventors: Thomas Søndergaard, Fredrik Tuxen, Michael Ungstrup

Patent number: 8788631Abstract: A system for extending an enterprise resource planning application is provided. The system employs “Add-ins” that each have a functional behavior that is independent of the client on which it executes and a user interface behavior that is dependent on the characteristics of the display, and other characteristics, of the client (i.e., a display target). When a user attempts to invoke an Add-in via the client runtime, the client runtime determines whether the Add-in is available at the user's computer. If not, the client runtime downloads the appropriate artifact for execution at the user's computer. In this environment, neither the client runtime nor the server-side business logic contains the logic used to implement a particular Add-in behavior on the supported display targets. Instead, this logic is contained within separate artifacts associated with a single Add-in having a particular behavior, each artifact implementing the behavior for a specific display target.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2011Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Christian Olaf Abeln, Mehmet Kerem Kiziltunc, Stuart Glasson, Thomas Sondergaard Jensen, Uffe Kjall

Publication number: 20020061176Abstract: Micro-structured optical fibers are improved with respect to increasing the dispersion, both to large negative or large positive values, in a first fiber design in which the fiber has a micro-structured core region being surrounded by a micro-structured cladding region with cladding features being large compared to a predetermined wavelength of light, which can be guided through the fiber. Preferably, the effective index of refraction of the core region, Nco, is larger than the effective index of refraction of the cladding region, Ncl, at the predetermined wavelength of light. It is further preferred that the refractive index of one or more of the core features is lower than the refractive index of the core material.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2001Publication date: May 23, 2002Inventors: Stig Eigil Barkou Libori, Jes Broeng, Anders Bjarklev, Thomas Sondergaard, Martin Dybendal Nielsen
