  • Patent number: 11755984
    Abstract: Presented herein are systems, methods and apparatuses for increasing reliability of face recognition in analysis of images captured by drone mounted imaging sensors, comprising: recognizing a target person in one or more iterations, each iteration comprising: identifying one or more positioning properties of the target person based on analysis of image(s) captured by imaging sensor(s) mounted on a drone operated to approach the target person, instructing the drone to adjust its position to an optimal facial image capturing position selected based on the positioning property(s), receiving facial image(s) of the target person captured by the imaging sensor(s), receiving a face classification associated with a probability score from machine learning model(s) trained to recognize the target person, and initiating another iteration in case the probability score does not exceed a certain threshold. Finally, the face classification may be outputted for use by one or more face recognition based systems.

  • Patent number: 11436849
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for applying adaptive classes thresholds to enhance object detection Machine Learning (ML) models by receiving a plurality of labeled feature vectors extracted from a plurality of images associated with a plurality of objects, one or more subsets of the plurality of feature vectors are associated with respective object(s) and labeled accordingly, computing an adaptive threshold for each object in a plurality of iterations, each iteration comprising: (1) computing deviation of a respective feature vector of the subset from an aggregated feature vector, (2) computing, in case the deviation is within a predefined value, a threshold enclosing the respective feature vector, and (3) adjusting the adaptive threshold to enclose the threshold of the respective feature vector and outputting the adaptive threshold(s) for classifying unlabeled feature vectors to class(s) of respective object(s) associated with the adaptive threshold(s) in which the unlabeled feature vectors fall.

  • Patent number: 11019246
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20210081754
    Abstract: 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.
