The object highlighting can be associated with a product within the video, defining a highlighted product. The object highlighting can be performed automatically utilizing computer-implemented techniques. A short-form video from a library of short-form videos is accessed. A plurality of objects from a catalog of products featured in the short-form video is recognized. At least one of the plurality of objects displayed by a host is identified. A first object from the plurality of objects is selected. The first object is highlighted, which causes it to be surrounded by a boundary overlay in the short-form video.

Patent number: 10596601Abstract: The image sorting system sorts normal chicken breast meat fillets from chicken fillets that exhibit wooden breast myopathy (i.e. WB fillets). In the preferred embodiment, a camera and associated controller gather data and construct a digital image of a chicken breast fillet as it travels on a conveyer belt. The digital image is used to calculate a centroid (i.e. center of mass) of the fillet. As the fillet moves over a nose of the conveyor belt and free-falls to a lower conveyor belt, the controller determines the distance between the fillet centroid and a reference point (preferably the conveyer belt axis of rotation). If the distance exceeds a predetermined minimum distance, the fillet is designated a WB fillet.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2018Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of AgricultureInventors: Seung C. Yoon, Brian C. Bowker, Hong Zhuang, Kurt C. Lawrence, Gerald W. Heitschmidt, Tae Sung Shin
