Patent number: 11386666Abstract: A sequence layer in a machine-learning engine configured to learn from the observations of a computer vision engine. In one embodiment, the machine-learning engine uses the voting experts to segment adaptive resonance theory (ART) network label sequences for different objects observed in a scene. The sequence layer may be configured to observe the ART label sequences and incrementally build, update, and trim, and reorganize an ngram trie for those label sequences. The sequence layer computes the entropies for the nodes in the ngram trie and determines a sliding window length and vote count parameters. Once determined, the sequence layer may segment newly observed sequences to estimate the primitive events observed in the scene as well as issue alerts for inter-sequence and intra-sequence anomalies.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2018Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: AVIGILON PATENT HOLDING 1 CORPORATIONInventors: Wesley Kenneth Cobb, David Samuel Friedlander, Kishor Adinath Saitwal

Patent number: 8797405Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for visually conveying classifications derived from pixel-level micro-features extracted from image data. The image data may include an input stream of video frames depicting one or more foreground objects. The classifications represent information learned by a video surveillance system. A request may be received to view a classification. A visual representation of the classification may be generated. A user interface may be configured to display the visual representation of the classification and to allow a user to view and/or modify properties associated with the classification.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2009Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Behavioral Recognition Systems, Inc.Inventors: Wesley Kenneth Cobb, Bobby Ernest Blythe, David Samuel Friedlander, Rajkiran Kumar Gottumukkal, Kishor Adinath Saitwal, Ming-Jung Seow, Gang Xu

Patent number: 8620028Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and a system for analyzing and learning behavior based on an acquired stream of video frames. Objects depicted in the stream are determined based on an analysis of the video frames. Each object may have a corresponding search model used to track an object's motion frame-to-frame. Classes of the objects are determined and semantic representations of the objects are generated. The semantic representations are used to determine objects' behaviors and to learn about behaviors occurring in an environment depicted by the acquired video streams. This way, the system learns rapidly and in real-time normal and abnormal behaviors for any environment by analyzing movements or activities or absence of such in the environment and identifies and predicts abnormal and suspicious behavior based on what has been learned.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2012Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Behavioral Recognition Systems, Inc.Inventors: John Eric Eaton, Wesley Kenneth Cobb, Dennis Gene Urech, Bobby Ernest Blythe, David Samuel Friedlander, Rajkiran Kumar Gottumukkal, Lon William Risinger, Kishor Adinath Saitwal, Ming-Jung Seow, David Marvin Solum, Gang Xu, Tao Yang

Patent number: 8493409Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for visually conveying a sequence storing an ordered string of symbols generated from kinematic data derived from analyzing an input stream of video frames depicting one or more foreground objects. The sequence may represent information learned by a video surveillance system. A request may be received to view the sequence or a segment partitioned form the sequence. A visual representation of the segment may be generated and superimposed over a background image associated with the scene. A user interface may be configured to display the visual representation of the sequence or segment and to allow a user to view and/or modify properties associated with the sequence or segment.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2009Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Behavioral Recognition Systems, Inc.Inventors: Wesley Kenneth Cobb, Bobby Ernest Blythe, David Samuel Friedlander, Rajkiran Kumar Gottumukkal, Kishor Adinath Saitwal

Patent number: 8280153Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for visually conveying a trajectory map. The trajectory map provides users with a visualization of data observed by a machine-learning engine of a behavior recognition system. Further, the visualization may provide an interface used to guide system behavior. For example, the interface may be used to specify that the behavior recognition system should alert (or not alert) when a particular trajectory is observed to occur.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2009Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Behavioral Recognition SystemsInventors: Wesley Kenneth Cobb, Bobby Ernest Blythe, David Samuel Friedlander, Rajkiran Kumar Gottumukkal, Ming-Jung Seow, Gang Xu

Patent number: 8121968Abstract: A long-term memory used to store and retrieve information learned while a video analysis system observes a stream of video frames is disclosed. The long-term memory provides a memory with a capacity that grows in size gracefully, as events are observed over time. Additionally, the long-term memory may encode events, represented by sub-graphs of a neural network. Further, rather than predefining a number of patterns recognized and manipulated by the long-term memory, embodiments of the invention provide a long-term memory where the size of a feature dimension (used to determine the similarity between different observed events) may grow dynamically as necessary, depending on the actual events observed in a sequence of video frames.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2008Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Behavioral Recognition Systems, Inc.Inventors: John Eric Eaton, Wesley Kenneth Cobb, Ming-Jung Seow, David Samuel Friedlander, Gang Xu
