TLDR
In this article, the authors described a system for automatically hinting fonts, particularly TrueType fonts, by transferring hints from one font to another by modifying values in a control value table (CVT).Abstract:
Methods and systems for automatically hinting fonts, particularly TrueType fonts, by transferring hints from one font to another are described. In one embodiment, a character or glyph (i.e. a source character) from a first font is selected and provides hints that are to be transferred to a character or glyph of a second font (i.e. a target character). The hints comprise statements defined in terms of control points or knots that define the shape or appearance of a character. A match is found between individual control points on the different characters and then used as the basis for transferring the hints. In one embodiment, hints are transferred by modifying values in a control value table (CVT) that contains entries that are used to constrain the control points of the source character. The CVT values are modified so that they now constrain corresponding control points in the target character.read more

Human tracking system
TL;DR: In this article, a grid of voxels is generated based on the depth image such that a depth image may be downsampled, and a background is removed to isolate one or more objects associated with a foreground object such as a human target.

Systems and methods for tracking a model
TL;DR: In this article, a grid of voxels is generated based on the depth image such that a depth image may be downsampled and a model may be adjusted based on a location or position of one or more extremities estimated or determined for a human target in the grid of Voxels.

Hint assignment method and font file construction method
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of assigning hints for outline-font creation includes a first step of dividing elements having similar outlines into classes, a second step of learning hint assignment by storing hint information which prevails when a hint is assigned by operator operation to a predetermined position of a representative element (master element) of each class, and a third step of assigning hint information automatically to elements of the class to which the master element belongs, using learned hint information of the master elements.
