  • Publication number: 20150058988
    Abstract: A computerized method of reverting system data affected by a malware. The method comprises monitoring, in run time, a plurality of events of a plurality of processes executed by an operating system (OS) running on a computing device, logging in an event log, in run time, the plurality of events, classifying, in run time, a first process of the plurality of processes as a malware, identifying a set of events of the first process from the plurality of events using the event log, and reverting, in response to the classification, at least one system object hosted in the computing device to remove an effect of the set of events on the OS.

  • Publication number: 20140375547
    Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter includes a method of recognizing an aimed point on a plane. Images captured by one or more image sensor are processed for obtaining data obtaining data indicative of location of at least one pointing element in the viewing space and data indicative of at least one predefined user's body part in the viewing space; using the obtained data an aimed point on the plane is identified. In case it is determined that a predefined condition is met a predefined command and/or message is executed.

  • Publication number: 20140361988
    Abstract: A method and system for augmented reality. Images of a real world scene are obtained from one or more from one or more image sensors. An orientation and/or location of the image sensors is obtained from one or more state sensors. A real world object at which a predefined pointing object is performing a predefined gesture in the images of the real world scene is identified and data associated with the identified object is displayed on a viewing device. The invention also provides a computer program comprising computer program code means for performing all the steps of the method of the invention when said program is run on a computer.

  • Publication number: 20140306877
    Abstract: A user interface apparatus for controlling any kind of a device. Images obtained by an image sensor in a region adjacent to the device are input to a gesture recognition system which analyzes images obtained by the image sensor to identify one or more gestures. A message decision maker generates a message based upon an identified gesture and a recognition mode of the gesture recognition system. The recognition mode is changed under one or more various conditions.

  • Patent number: 8842919
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for gesture recognition are disclosed. The systems include, for example, at least one processor that is configured to receive at least one image from at least one image sensor. The processor may also be configured to detect, in the image, data corresponding to an anatomical structure of a user. The processor may also be configured to identify, in the image, information corresponding to a suspected hand gesture by the user. In addition, the processor may also be configured to discount the information corresponding to the suspected hand gesture if the data corresponding to the anatomical structure of the user is not identified in the image.

  • Publication number: 20140168062
    Abstract: Systems, methods and non-transitory computer-readable media for triggering actions based on touch-free gesture detection are disclosed. The disclosed systems may include at least one processor. A processor may be configured to receive image information from an image sensor, detect in the image information a gesture performed by a user, detect a location of the gesture in the image information, access information associated with at least one control boundary, the control boundary relating to a physical dimension of a device in a field of view of the user, or a physical dimension of a body of the user as perceived by the image sensor, and cause an action associated with the detected gesture, the detected gesture location, and a relationship between the detected gesture location and the control boundary.

  • Publication number: 20140132515
    Abstract: A system for inputting operation system (OS) commands to a data processing device. The system comprises a video camera that captures images of a viewing space. A processor detects a predetermined object in the images using an object recognition algorithm not involving background information in an image. One or more image analysis parameters of the object are extracted from the images and one or more motion detection tests are applied. Each motion detection test has an associated OS command, and when a test succeeds, the OS command associated with the test is executed. By not relying on background information in an image, the system of the invention may be used in devices that are moved in use, such as a palm plot, personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile telephone, a digital camera, and a mobile game machine.

  • Publication number: 20110291925
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method for object detection and tracking in a video stream. Frames of the video stream are divided into regions of interest and a probability that the region contains at least a portion of an object to be tracked is calculated for each region of interest. The regions of interest in each frame are then classified based on the calculated probabilities. A region of interest (RI) frame is then constructed for each video frame that reports the classification of regions of interest in the video frame. Two or more RI frames are then compared in order to determine a motion of the object. Also provided is a system executing the presently described method, as well as a device including the system. The device may be for example, a portable computer, a mobile telephone, or an entertainment device.
