Appl. No.:

10/347777

Inventors:

Aloke Roy - Gaithersburg MD, US
Jonathan Walker - Crofton MD, US

Assignee:

Honeywell International, Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

H04Q 7/20

US Classification:

455431, 455441, 455513, 455525

Abstract:

An apparatus, method and computer program for initiating and maintaining a virtual connection between a mobile radio and a ground station, including receiving a plurality of ground station radio signals from a mobile radio; accumulating over a time period signal quality information relative to each of the ground station radio signals; determining a signal quality parameter trend for each of the ground station radio signals as a function of the accumulated signal quality information; deciding to switch a current virtual connection between the mobile radio and a first ground station to a virtual connection between the mobile radio and a different second ground station as a function of comparing the signal quality parameter to a pre-selected minimum acceptable threshold signal quality parameter; and switching the virtual connection of the mobile radio from the first ground station to the second ground station.

Abstract:

A computing system receives historical data. The historical data comprises physical actions taken in an experiment in a physical environment. The experiment comprises user-defined stages. The historical data comprises a recorded outcome, according to user-defined performance indicator(s) related to the user-defined stages, for each physical action taken in the experiment. The system generates, by a discrete event simulator, a computing representation of a simulated environment of the physical environment. The simulated environment comprises processing stages. The system obtains simulation data. The simulation data comprises simulated actions taken by the discrete event simulator. The simulation data comprises a predicted outcome, according to user-defined performance indicator(s) related to the processing stages, for each simulated action taken by the discrete event simulator. The system validates accuracy of the discrete event simulator at predicting the recorded outcome in the experiment. The system trains a computing agent according to a sequential decision-making algorithm.

G06F 11/20

Abstract:

A computing system responsive to obtaining original image data, detects a set of data point(s), in the original image data, that indicates an object. The system determines, based on the set of data point(s), a set of pixels associated with the object in the original image data. The system generates an alternative visual identifier for the object that provides a unique identifier for the set of pixels absent in the original image data. The system generates, autonomously from intervention by any user of the computing system, pixel information to conceal feature(s) of the object. The system obtains modified image data comprising the alternative visual identifier. The modified image data further comprises the feature(s) of the object in the original image data visually concealed in the modified image data according to the pixel information. The system outputs an image representation of a trajectory of the object through the modified image data.

International Classification:

G06K 9/32

Abstract:

A computing system obtains image data representing images. Each of the images is captured at different time points of a physical environment. The physical environment comprises a first object and a second object. The computing system executes a control system to augment the physical environment. The control system detects a group forming in the images. The control system tracks an aspect of a movement, of a given object, in the group. The control system simulates the physical environment and the movement, of the given object, in the group in a simulated environment. The control system evaluates simulated actions in the simulated environment for a predefined objective for the physical environment. The predefined objective is related to an interaction between objects in the group. The control system generates based on evaluated simulated actions and autonomously from involvement by any user of the control system, an indication to augment the physical environment.
