  • Method for detecting water regions in video
    Patent number: 7822275
    Abstract: A computer-based method for automatic detection of water regions in a video include the steps of estimating a water map of the video and outputting the water map to an output medium, such as a video analysis system. The method may further include the steps of training a water model from the water map; re-classifying the water map using the water model by detecting water pixels in the video; and refining the water map.

  • Enhanced processing for scanning video
    Publication number: 20070058717
    Abstract: A method of video processing may include registering one or more frames of input video received from a sensing unit, where the sensing unit may be capable of operating in a scanning mode.
