Methods of imaging based on wavelet retrieval of scenes
InactiveUS6751363B1Fast computerComputation taskData processing applicationsCharacter and pattern recognitionFeature vectorObject based
Methods of imaging objects based on wavelet retrieval of scenes utilize wavelet transformation of plural defined regions of a query image. By increasing the granularity of the query image to greater than one region, accurate feature vectors are obtained that allow for robust extraction of corresponding regions from a database of target images. The methods further include the use of sliding windows to decompose the query and target images into regions, and the clustering of the regions utilizing a novel similarity metric that ensures robust image matching in low response times.

Active Noise Control in Mobile Devices
InactiveUS20110091047A1Ability to detect and reduce different level of background noiseComputationally inexpensiveEar treatmentNoise generationNoise controlMean square
A three dimensional area of quiet is created by an active noise cancellation system comprising a reference microphone receiving background noise and sending the noise signal to an adaptive active noise canceller. An adaptive filter system using weights updated by a least mean squares method or other method generates an anti-phase signal which is broadcasted to counteract the background noise. The resulting residual noise or residual signal is sent back to the adaptive active noise canceller to reset the weights of the adaptive filter.

One embodiment of the invention provides a system that dissects edges of a layout of an integrated circuit to produce a segmentation of the layout for a subsequent optical proximity correction (OPC) operation. In order to perform the dissection, the system first performs a model-based simulation on the layout to generate intensity gradients along edges of features in the layout. Next, the system generates a segmentation for edges in the layout based upon the intensity gradients. This segmentation is used during a subsequent optical proximity correction (OPC) process to generate corrections for the layout so that the layout prints more accurately on a semiconductor chip.

Unsupervised incremental adaptation using maximum likelihood spectral transformation
A maximum likelihood spectral transformation (MLST) technique is proposed for rapid speech recognition under mismatched training and testing conditions. Speech feature vectors of real-time utterances are transformed in a linear spectral domain such that a likelihood of the utterances is increased after the transformation. Cepstral vectors are computed from the transformed spectra. The MLST function used for the spectral transformation is configured to handle both convolutional and additive noise. Since the function has small number of parameters to be estimated, only a few utterances are required for accurate adaptation, thus essentially eliminating the need for training speech data. Furthermore, the computation for parameter estimation and spectral transformation can be done efficiently in linear time. Therefore, the techniques of the present invention are well-suited for rapid online adaptation.

Determining a design attribute by estimation and by calibration of estimated value
ActiveUS7900165B2Computationally inexpensiveDetecting faulty computer hardwareComputation using non-denominational number representationComputer scienceAnalogue electronics
A computer-implemented method of determining an attribute of a circuit includes using a computationally expensive technique to simulate the attribute (such as timing delay or slew) of a portion of the circuit, at predetermined values of various parameters (e.g. nominal values of channel length or metal width), to obtain at least a first value of the attribute. The method also uses a computationally inexpensive technique to estimate the same attribute, thereby to obtain at least a second value which is less accurate than the first value. Then the computationally inexpensive technique is repeatedly used on other values of the parameter(s), to obtain a number of additional second values of the attribute. Applying to the additional second values, a function obtained by calibrating the at least one second value to the at least one first value, can yield calibrated estimates very quickly, which represent the attribute's variation relatively accurately.

Wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) with power-saving function
ActiveUS20180093102A1Computationally inexpensiveLess storageElectrocardiographyHeart defibrillatorsPower savingImplantable cardioverter-defibrillator
A Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD) system has a processor that performs two different analyses to an ECG of the patient. A first-level analysis can be computationally economical, while a fuller second-level analysis can give shock / no-shock advice with more certainty. In some of these embodiments the second-level analysis of the ECG is performed only if the first-level analysis of the ECG detects a possible shockable condition. As such, the first-level analysis may operate as a gatekeeping function, often preventing the more computationally intensive second-level analysis from being performed. An advantage can be that the WCD system needs to store less charge, for powering the processor. In turn, this permits portions of the WCD system to be less bulky and weigh less.

Hidden markov model generation of multi-plane random screens
ActiveUS20160224689A1Computationally inexpensiveEliminate needAdditive manufacturing apparatusVisual presentationAlgorithmHide markov model
Methods and systems for the in-situ creation of a halftone noise screen layer by layer. Each layer produced is a white noise uniform distributed screen, statistically similar to one generated by a uniform noise function. The generation of each layer, however, is driven by a screen state which is an error based metric on the mean screen threshold. The set of screens produced are not independent of each other; adjacent layers are negatively correlated, while non-adjacent layers are completely uncorrelated. The result of this screen creation is that for any color the variation of coverage across the viewed surface is smaller than the variation produced by randomly generated screen planes. The algorithm is computationally inexpensive and eliminates the need to store multiple screens in memory.

Adaptive wind estimation, trajectory generation, and flight control for aerial systems using motion data is provided. The adaptive wind estimation approach may be implemented using onboard computing power, may rapidly converge to true values, may be computationally inexpensive, and may not require any specific hardware or specific vehicle maneuvers for the convergence. There may be no prior knowledge of the wind field, using the motion of the aircraft itself rather than wind sensors. The algorithm may include three blocks. An identification / estimation block may identify aerodynamic drag coefficients in still-air flight and estimate the wind components in moving and variable air flight. A navigation block may generate feasible trajectories, taking into account the estimated wind field. A control block may generate motor / engine thrust commands necessary to track the generated trajectories while compensating for the wind disturbance.
