  • Patent number: 11636329
    Abstract: Various examples related to real time detection with recurrent networks are presented. These can be utilized in automatic insect recognition to provide accurate and rapid in situ identification. In one example, among others, a method includes training parameters of a kernel adaptive autoregressive-moving average (KAARMA) using a signal of an input space. The signal can include source information in its time varying structure. A surrogate embodiment of the trained KAARMA can be determined based upon clustering or digitizing of the input space, binarization of the trained KAARMA state and a transition table using the outputs of the trained KAARMA for each input in the training set. A recurrent network detector can then be implemented in processing circuitry (e.g., flip-flops, FPGA, ASIC, or dedicated VLSI) based upon the surrogate embodiment of the KAARMA The recurrent network detector can be configured to identify a signal class.

  • Patent number: 11615623
    Abstract: Human or object presence in or absence from a field-of-view of a camera can be achieved by analyzing camera data using a processor inside of or adjacent to the camera itself. In an example, a video signal processing system receives image data from one or more cameras and uses a processing circuit to determine whether a designated object is or is not present at a particular time, during a particular interval, or over a designated sequence of frames. In an example, the designated object can include one or more of a human being, a vehicle, or a parcel. In an example, results of the determination, such as including positive human or object identification, can be used as a trigger for operation of a barrier or access door.

  • Patent number: 11604943
    Abstract: Systems and methods for domain adaptation for structured output via disentangled representations are provided. The system receives a ground truth of a source domain. The ground truth is used in a task loss function for a first convolutional neural network that predicts at least one output based on inputs from the source domain and a target domain. The system clusters the ground truth of the source domain into a predetermined number of clusters, and predicts, via a second convolutional neural network, a structure of label patches. The structure includes an assignment of each of the at least one output of the first convolutional neural network to the predetermined number of clusters. A cluster loss is computed for the predicted structure of label patches, and an adversarial loss function is applied to the predicted structure of label patches to align the source domain and the target domain on a structural level.

  • Patent number: 11568166
    Abstract: Introduced here are health management platforms able to monitor changes in the health state of a subject based on the context of digital activities performed by, or involving, the subject. Initially, a health management platform can identify a physiological response by examining physiological data associated with a subject. Then, the health management platform can identify a stimulus presented by an electronic device that provoked the physiological response by examining contextual data associated with the subject. The contextual data may be in the form of a screenshot of a computer program in use by the subject during the physiological response. In some embodiments, the health management platform prompts the subject to specify whether the physiological response is a positive physiological response that resulted in an upward shift in health or a negative physiological response that resulted in a downward shift in health.
