  • Patent number: 11151382
    Abstract: Image processing of an image is used to determine the opportunity to view an object. Rather than relying on simple numbers passing an object, the opportunity to view the object is weighted based on attention, which is derived from other objects competing for attention. For the processor to more accurately determine opportunity to view as compared to using geometric information alone, a machine-learned network is used. To deal with changes in obstructions, another machine-learned network may extract obstructions from camera images. Trace data is used to allow for daily variation in base counts of viewers, allowing greater temporal resolution and determination based on information more recently acquired than counts.

  • Patent number: 10930011
    Abstract: Despite the impressive advances made in recent decades, past digital image processing system were faced with significant technical challenges to solving important technical problems. The digital image processing system described below helps to solve these technical challenges with regard to spatial location and orientation of arbitrary objects in real-world environments. The digital image processing system performs image segmentation to accurately identify objects in an image, then locates the objects and determines their orientations.
