Assignee:

International Edge, Inc. - Fairfield NJ

International Classification:

A63B 26/00

US Classification:

482140, 482126, 482142

Abstract:

An abdominal exercise device comprising a frame, a seat support fixed to said frame, a back support pivotally connected to the frame near the seat support and being disposed at a negative incline during a portion of its use, and one or more handlebars pivotally mounted to the frame and in operational contact with the rear surface of the back support for causing the back support to pivot away from the negative incline if desired by a user during the exercise. The machine may also comprise lever members fixed to the angular orientation of the handlebars and in contact with the rear surface of the back support for lifting said back support during a portion of the exercise if desired. In a preferred embodiment, the handlebars are pivotally mounted to the frame at location separate and distinct from the where the back support is connected to the frame so that the user can use the handlebars, if desired, to create a mechanical advantage in moving the back support during a portion of the exercise. Where there are two handlebars, they may also be connected to each other at one end and the user may disconnect them to provide a gated entry for the user before and after exercising.

G06T 7/00

Abstract:

A method of detecting objects in three-dimensional (3D) point clouds and detecting differences between 3D point clouds and the objects therein is disclosed. A method includes receiving a first scene 3D point cloud and a second scene 3D point cloud, wherein the first scene 3D point cloud and the second scene 3D point cloud include first and second target objects, respectively; aligning the first scene 3D point cloud and the second scene 3D point cloud; detecting the first and second target objects from the first scene 3D point cloud and the second scene 3D point cloud, respectively; comparing the detected first target object with the detected second target object; and identifying, based on the comparison, one or more differences between the detected first target object and the detected second target object. Further aspects relate to detecting changes of target objects within scenes of multiple 3D point clouds.
