Abstract: A method to detect, identify and determine the position of laser points from infrared laser emitters in a firearm training simulation system. The method consists of two steps. This first step combines some common tools such as a camera with a filter switcher and edge and corner detecting algorithms in image processing to provide a fast automatic screen calibrating method. The second step is to detect laser point objects in each frame continuously captured by the camera, and then further process these objects to identify laser shots, filter out noisy objects, and eventually detect simulated shots from different laser emitters and determine the final mapped position of the shot.

Abstract: Embodiments as disclosed herein may provide systems and methods for component integration and security. In particular, in one embodiment, a native component that presents a network based interface may be on a device, where that native component may expose a network based interface for access by other components. This native component can then be accessed through the network based interface. To address security concerns and other issues, the native component may be configured to determine if a received request is associated with the same user space and only respond to requests originating from the same user space.

Abstract: A system and method for live video streaming over tactical wireless networks based on distortion estimation using multilayer perceptron neural network (MLP). The system and method can adaptively adjust the parameters of transport and application layers according to wireless network conditions, based on video distortion estimation using MLP neural network. The system includes a video motion and detail estimation block, a redundancy and video bitrate optimizer, a MLP neural network-based video distortion estimator, and video transport blocks, a packet error rate (PER) and bandwidth measurement block.

Abstract: Aspects of the example implementations are directed to methods, systems and apparatuses associated with processing of images associated with objects in a view of one or more cameras co-located in a space. The example implementations may be directed to estimating a physical distance between a first person and a second person (e.g., customers) in a camera view; detecting an interest in a section (e.g., shelf) by the first person or second person; estimating relative distances between views of the one or more cameras, to determine which camera views are overlapping and non-overlapping; and detecting static objects (e.g., false positives) that may appear similar to a customer, such as posters of people, mannequins, or the like, and removing the static objects from the processed images.

Abstract: For data flow traffic in an IoTSP system, for example, a gateway is provided with data flow rules, one or more of the data flow rules being a receiving rule defining at least what incoming data will be accepted and one or more of the data flow rules being a publishing rule defining at least what data to send to one or more other computing devices acting as gateways in the system. The one or more receiving rules are applied to incoming data, and the one or more publishing rules to stored and processed data to cause sending one or more pieces of the data in response to a condition in a publishing rule being fulfilled.
