SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Abstract of Patent Application(s)
A touch-based tracking method comprises starting a GUI which
displays an environment; observing at least one of the presence or
absence of one or more targets in relation to features in the
environment; when an observation is made, reporting the observation
through the GUI to form an input; reporting the observation in the GUI
with a hand gesture; applying an algorithm to convert the input into a
probability distribution; and updating a target state estimate and
alters the environment display. The environment may be an area or a
map, and the map may include a plurality of features, e.g. roads,
building structures, forest, and water. The observation indicates the
presence or non-presence of the one or more targets. The hand gesture
is made on the map, such as a swiping motion with one or more fingers
on the GUI, wherein the hand gesture indicates the strength of the
observation.
Intellectual Property
CURTIS et al., U.S. Patent no. 11,429,273 B1 issued 30 August 2022
and entitled ``Touch-Based Tracking system and Method.''
The Department of the Air Force may grant the prospective license
unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows the grant
of the license would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or
implementing regulations. A competing application for a patent license
agreement, completed in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and received by
the Air Force within the period for timely objections, will be treated
as an objection and may be considered as an alternative to the proposed
license.
