Camera Scene Fitting Of Real World Scenes

View page
US Patent:
20130300831, Nov 14, 2013
Filed:
May 11, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/469759
Inventors:
Loren Mavromatis - , US
Fiona C. Yeung - Redondo Beach CA, US
Mark A. Pumar - Northridge CA, US
Harrison A. Parks - Los Angeles CA, US
International Classification:
H04N 5/225
H04N 13/02
H04N 5/217
US Classification:
348 46, 348E05024
Abstract:
A system fits a camera scene to real world scenes. The system receives from an image sensing device an image depicting a scene, a location of the image sensing device in real world coordinates, and locations of a plurality of points in the scene in the real world coordinates. Pixel locations of the plurality of points are determined and recorded. The center of the image is determined, and each pixel in the image is mapped to an angular offset from the center of the image. Vectors are generated. The vectors extend from the image sensing device to the locations of the plurality of points, and the vectors are used to determine a pose of the image sensing device.

Method For Determining Terrain Following And Terrain Avoidance Trajectories

US Patent:
57060118, Jan 6, 1998
Filed:
Jun 7, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/482337
Inventors:
Ronald E. Huss - Los Angeles CA
Mark A. Pumar - Thousand Oaks CA
Assignee:
Hughes Electronics - Los Angeles CA
International Classification:
G01S 1394
US Classification:
342 65
Abstract:
A method that enables an aircraft to determine an optimal terrain following, terrain avoidance, or threat avoidance trajectory over terrain, thereby reducing its exposure and increasing its survivability. A grid of discrete terrain points corresponding to the terrain above which the aircraft is to fly is formed. Each point has a cost that is function of predetermined criteria. A cost is assigned to each of the points that is representative of the cost to get to the point based upon the predetermined criteria. A terminal point is selected that is a point that must be flown through at the end of the trajectory over the terrain, or in order to clear an obstacle in the flight path of the aircraft. A series of paths is computed through the terrain points to a selected terminal point, taking into account the aircraft's maneuvering capability and current attitude. A total cost at the terminal point is computed for each path, and the total cost for a particular path is the sum of costs at the terminal point plus the respective costs of all terrain points along the path.
