  • Patent number: 11416774
    Abstract: The proposed invention aims at encoding contextual information for video analysis and understanding, by encoding spatial and temporal relationships of objects and the main agent in a scene. The main target application of the invention is human activity recognition. The encoding of such spatial and temporal relationships may be crucial to distinguish different categories of human activities and may be important to help in the discrimination of different video categories, aiming at video classification, retrieval, categorization and other video analysis applications.

  • Patent number: 11386598
    Abstract: A method and system for the recognition of sensor data, like an accelerometer and a gyroscope. The method includes data/feature enrichment before a learning process. Thus, the learning process can benefit from better data, which includes both raw sensor data and enriched data/features. As a consequence, classification models may become less complex without harming accuracy and, therefore, can be more easily deployed to mobile devices, consuming less processing power and battery.
