  • Patent number: 11967154
    Abstract: Video analytics are used to evaluate interactions between humans and animals and identify possible occurrences of animal abuse in an objective manner. The video analytics system processes successive video frames to identify objects of interest (e.g., humans, animals, tools/weapons, etc.), creates mathematical models of such objects (e.g., essentially stick-figure models), analyzes movements of such objects (e.g., the speed and/or directional motion of an object or portion of an object such as an arm or leg), determines mathematically and objectively whether or not the analyzed movements meet predetermined criteria for possible abuse (e.g., wherein the predetermined criteria can be mathematical models defining ethical and unethical movements), and outputs relevant information via a user interface (e.g., a list of possible abuse instances identifying the time and probability of possible abuse, from which the user can select an instance in order to view the corresponding video for human analysis).

  • Patent number: 11934789
    Abstract: A document capture server receives a document image from a document capture client and processes the image into an electronic document containing textual content. During capture, the document capture server determines a graphical layout of the document, extracts keywords from the document, classifies the document accordingly, and calls an artificial intelligence (AI) platform to gain insights on the textual content. The AI platform analyzes the textual content and returns additional, insightful data such as a sentiment of the textual content. The document capture server can validate the additional data, integrate the additional data in a process or workflow, and/or provide the textual content and the additional data to a content repository or a computing facility operating in an enterprise computing environment. The document capture server can provide validated data to the AI platform to improve future analyses by the AI platform.

  • Patent number: 11908152
    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the field of image processing and computer vision, and discloses an acceleration method of depth estimation for multiband stereo cameras. In the process of depth estimation, during binocular stereo matching in each band, through compression of matched images, on one hand, disparity equipotential errors caused by binocular image correction can be offset to make the matching more accurate, and on the other hand, calculation overhead is reduced. In addition, before cost aggregation, cost diagrams are transversely compressed and sparsely matched, thereby reducing the calculation overhead again. Disparity diagrams obtained under different modes are fused to obtain all-weather, more complete and more accurate depth information.

  • Patent number: 11900560
    Abstract: Implementations relate to diagnosis of crop yield predictions and/or crop yields at the field- and pixel-level. In various implementations, a first temporal sequence of high-elevation digital images may be obtained that captures a geographic area over a given time interval through a crop cycle of a first type of crop. Ground truth operational data generated through the given time interval and that influences a final crop yield of the first geographic area after the crop cycle may also be obtained. Based on these data, a ground truth-based crop yield prediction may be generated for the first geographic area at the crop cycle's end. Recommended operational change(s) may be identified based on distinct hypothetical crop yield prediction(s) for the first geographic area. Each distinct hypothetical crop yield prediction may be generated based on hypothetical operational data that includes altered data point(s) of the ground truth operational data.
