We present, in exemplary embodiments of the present invention, novel systems and methods for syndromic surveillance that can automatically monitor symptoms that may be associated with the early presentation of a syndrome (e.g., fever, coughing, sneezing, runny nose, sniffling, rashes). Although not so limited, the novel surveillance systems described herein can be placed in common areas occupied by a crowd of people, in accordance with local and national laws applicable to such surveillance. Common areas may include public areas (e.g., an airport, train station, sports arena) and private areas (e.g., a doctor's waiting room). The monitored symptoms may be transmitted to a responder (e.g., a person, an information system) outside of the surveillance system, such that the responder can take appropriate action to identifying, treat and quarantine potentially infected individuals, as necessary.

2D imposters representing 3D graphical objects, such as virtual spectators in a simulated sports arena, are dynamically displayed at predefined locations relative to an arbitrarily movable camera position in a virtual space. A hierarchical data structure is created with branches corresponding to iteratively subdivided groups of imposter data structures and is used to store polygon vertices, texture data, and other 2D imposter data generated during run-time. Center locations of the hierarchically divided groupings are used to determine a common projection location within a current view volume at which each 2D imposter is projected as an oriented image from each corresponding animated 3D graphical object. Sets of contiguous 2D imposter data are determined based on currently visible groupings of predefined locations that do not require rendering as 3D graphical objects due to their distance from the camera position. Each set of contiguous 2D imposters is rendered with a single draw primitive.

Imagery from two or more users' different smartphones is streamed to a cloud processor, enabling creation of 3D model information about a scene being imaged. From this model, arbitrary views and streams can be synthesized. In one arrangement, a user of such a system is at a sports arena, and her view of the sporting event is blocked when another spectator rises to his feet in front of her. Nonetheless, the imagery presented on her headworn display continues uninterrupted—the blocked imagery from that viewpoint being seamlessly re-created based on imagery contributed by other system users in the arena. A great variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.

The invention discloses a movable stand for a sports venue. The movable stand comprises a bottom plate, a step table and moving wheels, the moving wheels are arranged at the lower end of the bottom plate, and the step table is arranged at the upper end of the bottom plate. Mounting cavities are formed in steps of the step table; lower supports are arranged at the lower ends of the mounting cavities; the upper portions of the lower supports are connected with hydraulic supporting frames; the upper ends of the hydraulic supporting frames are connected with upper supports; seat plates are arranged at the upper ends of the upper supports; one ends of the seat plates are connected with chair backs; and a base plate is arranged on the left side of the upper end of the bottom plate. In the usingprocess of the movable stand for the sports venue, through a lead screw, a moving motor enables a thread sliding block to drive sliding sleeves to move, thus a sun-shading cloth moves, automatic adjustment of the sun-shading cloth is achieved, and the use comfort of the stand is improved; the arranged hydraulic supporting frames can make the seat plates to rise and fall, thus the seat plates and the chair backs can be stored into the mounting cavities, and thus walking of audiences is convenient; and the movable stand is higher in flexibility and spatial use ratio.
