Abstract: A method and a system for controlling camera orientation in training and exhibition systems. The method and system use a control algorithm to drive the orientation of a camera system at a determined reference velocity in order to place the aim-point of the camera system following a target aim-point in a local coordinate system. In some embodiments, the position and velocity of the target aim-point in the local coordinate system are determined based on dynamically filtered position and motion of a target object, where the position and motion of the target object are measured from a local positioning system.

Abstract: A camera controller is configured to automatically target object in camera view based on determined object position in a field coordinate system. The object position is initially determined based on received radio wave signals from object associated wireless communication device in a wireless local area network. The camera controller targets the object in camera view according to the determined object position using at least one of the camera orientation adjustment and the object recognition methods. The object position is further refined based on recognized object in camera view and the relationship between the camera view coordinate system and the local area coordinate system for better object targeting effect. The camera controller is able to capture an object in camera view even before the object has been specified as the target object.

Abstract: An information system that provides information exchange and application services based on the location and relationships between a landmark client and a service user client. The information service system first builds up direct referral link between a landmark client account and a declared landmark location. The landmark account stores information and applications associated to the landmark client. A service user connects to the information service system via a user client account that stores information and applications associated to the user client. The information service system determines a relationship between the landmark client and the user client using the location and navigation data of the clients as well as their identity and configuration information. The service next builds up information exchange and system control connections between the landmark client and the service user client according to their specified information access and usage rules under prescribed relationship situations.

Abstract: An information system that provides information exchange and control services based on location and event between a subject of information and a service user. The information system first builds up direct referral link between the information resource and the subject of information by referral of a common map location. Information exchange and system control connections between them may also be established. The service next builds up information exchange and system control connections between the information resource and the service user intelligently and dynamically by satisfying conditions that comprises spatial and behavioral relationships and information subject matching rules.

Abstract: A controller is configured to enhance driving awareness and safety by recognizing road marking objects and automatically generating laser or light beams to illuminate the road marking objects. The road marking objects are recognized from vehicle surrounding sensing system where cameras are frequently used. The road marking objects are also inferred from navigation information system based on the vehicle's position and knowledge about surrounding environment. Road markings for future vehicle positions are predicted based on present vehicle states and motions. The relative positions of the road marking objects are determined with respect to a vehicle coordinate system. When illuminated from a projector on the vehicle, the projected images of the road markings sufficiently overlap and highlight their target road marking objects on road surface.
