Patent number: 11019246Abstract: A video or still hand-held digital camera is activated or controlled based on estimation of a user head pose or gaze direction. The system comprises uses two wearable devices associated with right and left sides of the user body, each comprises an RF beacon. The head pose or gaze detection is estimated by comparing the signal strength (such as RSSI) or the phase of the RF signals from the wearable devices at the digital camera device. An angular deviation between the head pose (or gaze detection) and the digital camera (such as the line of sight) is estimated, and the digital camera is activated or controlled based on comparing the angular deviation to a set threshold. The RF signals may be Personal Area Network (PAN) signals, such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signals. The wearable devices may be head mounted, structured as glasses, earpieces, headphones, or hat mounted.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2020Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: Snap-Aid Patents LTD.Inventor: Ishay Sivan

Publication number: 20210081754Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for error correction in convolutional neural networks. In one implementation, a first image is received. A first activation map is generated with respect to the first image within a first layer of the convolutional neural network. A correlation is computed between data reflected in the first activation map and data reflected in a second activation map associated with a second image. Based on the computed correlation, a linear combination of the first activation map and the second activation map is used to process the first image within a second layer of the convolutional neural network. An output is provided based on the processing of the first image within the second layer of the convolutional neural network.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2019Publication date: March 18, 2021Inventors: Darya FROLOVA, Ishay SIVAN
