The present invention relates to an apparatus for rapidly analyzing frame(s) of digitized video data which may include objects of interest randomly distributed throughout the video data and wherein said objects are susceptible to detection, classification, and ultimately identification by filtering said video data for certain differentiable characteristics of said objects. The present invention may be practiced on pre-existing sequences of image data or may be integrated into an imaging device for real-time, dynamic, object identification, classification, logging / counting, cataloging, retention (with links to stored bitmaps of said object), retrieval, and the like. The present invention readily lends itself to the problem of automatic and semi-automatic cataloging of vast numbers of objects such as traffic control signs and utility poles disposed in myriad settings. When used in conjunction with navigational or positional inputs, such as GPS, an output from the inventative systems indicates the identity of each object, calculates object location, classifies each object by type, extracts legible text appearing on a surface of the object (if any), and stores a visual representation of the object in a form dictated by the end user / operator of the system. The output lends itself to examination and extraction of scene detail, which cannot practically be successfully accomplished with just human viewers operating video equipment, although human intervention can still be used to help judge and confirm a variety of classifications of certain instances and for types of identified objects.

A system and related techniques prepare and condition the installation of new networked service or application components, such as Internet services, based on an individual subscriber's subscribed-to services, features and other components. A subscriber to an Internet service may choose to add, for example, a componentized subscription to a music or video download service to their access plan. When the user inserts a CDROM or accesses a Web site for installation, the user may be prompted for a username or passport-type object to authenticate their account. The user may then be presented with a set of available service selections, extensions or enhancements to choose to add to their plan. Those available selections may be prefiltered or prequalified, for example, based on geographic location, account spending or access limits, language or other criteria. Because the installation engine delivers components which are intelligently filtered at time of installation, the service components or applications can be tailored to that specific user's needs and options, instead of downloading or installing a monolithic package which may contain services not available or of interest to that user.

The invention relates to an object position sensor, in particular to an electromagnetic pushing-beating-type object-detecting device. The device comprises a magnetic pendulum rod, an electromagnet and an electronic module, wherein the electromagnet is arranged on one side of the magnetic pendulum rod and the electronic module controls the electromagnet to drive the magnetic pendulum rod to swing and amplifies, processes and outputs a swinging signal of the magnetic pendulum rod, which is acquired by the electromagnet, in a delayed way; the magnetic pendulum rod is hung on one side of a main body shell by a hanging device; the electromagnet is arranged in the main body shell; the electromagnet consists of an electromagnet core and an electromagnetic coil; the electronic module comprises a power supply circuit, a pulse generating circuit, a pulse driving circuit, a signal amplifying circuit, a signal processing circuit and a signal delaying output circuit; and all the circuits are arranged in the main body shell or isolated from the main body shell for independent encapsulation. The electromagnetic pushing-beating-type object-detecting device has the advantages of high sensitivity, accuracy and reliability, wide application range, no maintenance, long service life and the like.
