Patent number: 11972622Abstract: A method for updating a coordinate of an annotated point in a digital image due to camera movement is performed by an image processing device, which obtains a current digital image of a scene. The current digital image has been captured by a camera subsequent to movement of the camera relative the scene. The current digital image is associated with at least one annotated point. Each at least one annotated point has a respective coordinate in the current digital image. The method comprises identifying an amount of the movement by comparing position indicative information in the current digital image to position indicative information in a previous digital image of the scene.

Patent number: 11972577Abstract: Present embodiments pertain to systems, apparatuses, and methods for analyzing and reporting the movements in mechanical structures, inanimate physical structures, machinery, and machine components, including automatically detecting aliased frequencies of a component on the structure which exhibits frequencies higher than the maximum frequency of the FFT spectrum calculated from the acquired data. To automatically detect the presence of aliased frequencies, a second virtually identical recording is acquired using a slightly different sampling rate and this provides the basis for detecting frequencies which are greater than the Nyquist sampling rate of the video recording and calculating the true frequency value of the aliased peaks in the frequency spectrum.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: RDI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Kenneth Ralph Piety, Jeffrey R.

Patent number: 11941086Abstract: Embodiments described herein embodiments described herein provide Contrastive Attention-Supervised Tuning (CAST), a training method to fix the visual grounding ability of contrastive SSL methods based on a data augmentation strategy using unsupervised saliency maps. In addition to the contrastive loss that encourages the model to pick the crop that comes from the corresponding image, CAST provides an explicit grounding supervision through a Grad-CAM based attention loss that enforces models to look at the specified object of interest that is common across different crops when making this decision. A new geometric transform is introduced for randomly cropping different views from an input image based on certain constraints derived from a saliency map.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Ramprasaath Ramasamy Selvaraju, Nikhil Naik
