System and method for visual searching of objects using lines

Disclosed is method of visual search for objects that include straight lines. A two-step process is used, which includes detecting straight line segments in an image. The lines are generally characterized by their length, midpoint location, and orientation. Hypotheses that a particular straight line segment belongs to a known object are generated and tested. The set of hypotheses is constrained by spatial relationships in the known objects. The speed and robustness of the method and apparatus disclosed makes it immediately applicable to many computer vision applications.

ATM privacy system and method

Embodiments of the invention are related generally to systems and methods for providing increased security at Automated Teller Machines (“ATMs”) through the use of “smart glass” barriers. The system provides for increased security at ATMs by decreasing the transparency in glass panels which partially or completely enclose an ATM. In the present invention, a change in electrical current is delivered to the glass panel. The change in electrical current functions to decrease the transparency of the transparent glass panel, at least partially restricting the view of the user at the automated teller machine. Thus, the user may securely complete the transaction. In embodiments of the invention, the interior and exterior sides of the glass panels may also function as a high definition projection screens, and may be used to present displays to the user and / or to others.
