Abstract: Two embodiments of a connector that can be mated without regard for its orientation are disclosed. One embodiment is mated and demated autonomously as part of a system for recovering, docking with, recharging and re-launching unmanned aerial vehicles. Another embodiment is employed on the decks of vessels to facilitate mating and demating of various equipment providing different functions to reconfigure the vessel. Because both embodiments are configured for connection irrespective of angular orientation over 360°, they are especially suited for harsh environments including autonomous operation, rough seas, darkness and the like.

Abstract: A panoramic annular lens system (PAL), a unitary video camera and a PC-based software system that unwraps a 360° video image into a seamless, distortion free horizontal image image in real time. The PAL system of the preferred embodiment has a 360° horizontal field of view and a 90° vertical field of view in a 40 mm diameter compact package. The invention is not limited to any particular type of lens system. In fact, there are numerous lens systems for providing a 360° panoramic view. The video camera may be a CCD or CMOS based device having a pixel resolution of either 1280×1024 (high resolution) or 720×480 (NTSC). The unwrapping system is a radiometric ray tracing program carried out using a computer's graphics card capabilities to produce highly efficient regional transformation while minimizing software overhead. The result is real time, high resolution 30 fps conversion from a spherical distorted image to a flat panoramic image in Cartesian coordinates.

Abstract: One subject of this invention is the development of a novel region of interest (ROI) method, or Frame Segmentation Method that can be provided within a video stream, in real-time, or more precisely within a few milliseconds of video frame duration of 30 msec, or even in the sub-millisecond range. This video frame segmentation is the basis of Pre-ATR-based Ultra-Real-Time (PATURT) video compression. Still other subjects of this invention are morphing compression, and watermarking, also based on the PATURT. The applications of the PATURT innovation include ROI-based real-time video recording that has special applications for aircraft pilot/cockpit video recording in “black-box” devices, recording aircraft accidents, or catastrophes. Such black-box devices usually need to pass high impact (3400 g), high temperature (1100° C., in 1 h), and other harsh environmental tests. In this invention, they also have the capability of reporting the last cockpit events up to 0.5 seconds before an accident, including all cockpit sensor readings, as well as pilots' behavior, the latter with fully scrambled and non-recoverable facial information. Further applications include video surveillance. The latter can be also applied to missile defense (recognizing real target or real missile, from false targets (decoys)), or to other Ultra-Real-Time (URT) civilian and military scenarios.

Abstract: A system and method that will improve QoS (Quality of Service) of wireless video transmission systems. This is done by “in-fly” monitoring of BER by periodically transmitting “test images”, which images are known to the RF-receiver (Rx). BER can be automatically computed, within a related BIT (Built-in-Test) procedure that is also the subject of this invention. This allows predictions of a proper increasing, or decreasing of bandwidth OVH-level, in order to compensate for a BER-change. BER computation is facilitated by distinguishing video frames based on whether they depict new spatial events or related temporal events. Another subject of this invention is a motion-based pre-ATR method that is an introduction to common ATR, or pattern recognition methods. Yet another subject of this invention is a process of implanting error correcting bits into a payload, in the form of imperceptible watermarks. Still other aspects hereof, relate to such networks as: MAN, WAN, Tactical Internet, and others, to provide extra protection of headers, by implanting them into payloads, with a high level of Bit-Selective-Error Correction. Also included herein is a novel compression concept for still images which applies the spatial or meaningful frame technique to still imagery in a wavelet compression format.

Abstract: A carton-centric security system that uniquely combines a low-cost version of the rugged connector technology and a novel smart skin is provided. The carton-centric security system includes RF electronics for communication. The system can fully meet the homeland security need to autonomously seal, secure, and monitor the integrity of shipping cartons/parcels below the ISO intermodal shipping container level. The system can seal the contents of a shipping carton within a “smart skin/wrapper,” which physically surrounds the contents, monitors the physical integrity of the shipping carton and detects any intrusion into the carton. In case of an intrusion, the system provides notification of the intrusion of the carton or tampering with the carton security system, including alteration of the carton contents, theft or unauthorized removal of the entire carton.
