Abstract: Systems and methods for person counting are disclosed. A method may include retrieving an image frame from a plurality of image frames captured by a camera. The image frame may be split into a grid of a plurality of cells of a pre-determined cell dimensions. The pre-determined cell dimensions may be based on dimensions of the retrieved image frame and reference dimensions of training images of a person detection classifier. At least a portion of the plurality of cells may be rearranged to generate a new image. The new image may be padded with at least one padding strip to adjust dimensions of the new image to the reference dimensions of the training images. Person detection may be performed using the new image and the person detection classifier to obtain a number of persons detected within the new image.

Abstract: A technique for multi-camera object tracking is disclosed that preserves privacy of imagery from each camera or group of cameras. This technique uses secure multi-party computation to compute a distance metric across data from multiple cameras without revealing any information to operators of the cameras except whether or not an object was observed by both cameras. This is achieved by a distance metric learning technique that reduces the computing complexity of secure computation while maintaining object identification accuracy.

In one example, the interactions can include detecting a user proximate to a display and detecting a non-touch control gesture performed by the user proximate to the display. The example can also include presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) on the display that includes options associated with the control gesture. The example can also include receiving user input selecting one of the options and receiving additional user input from the user to interact with the GUI via the selected one of the options.

Abstract: The large display interaction implementations described herein combine mobile devices with people tracking to enable new interactions including making a non-touch-sensitive display touch-sensitive and allowing personalized interactions with the display. One implementation tracks one or more mobile computing device users relative to a large computer-driven display, and configures content displayed on the display based on a distance a given mobile computing device user is from the display. Another implementation personalizes user interactions with a large display. One or more mobile computing device users are tracked relative to a display. The identity of each of the one or more mobile computing device users is obtained. Content displayed on the display is configured based on a distance an identified mobile computing device user is from the display and the identity of the user that provides the content.

Abstract: It is very difficult to schedule a single-arm cluster tool with wafer revisiting such that wafer residency time constraints are satisfied. The present invention conducts a study on this challenging problem for a single-arm cluster tool with atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. With a so called p-backward strategy being applied, a Petri net model is developed to describe the dynamic behavior of the system. Based on the model, existence of a feasible schedule is analyzed, schedulability conditions are derived, and scheduling algorithms are presented if there is a schedule. A schedule is obtained by simply setting the robot waiting time if schedulable and it is very computationally efficient. The obtained schedule is shown to be optimal. Illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the proposed approach.

Abstract: Described herein are technologies pertaining to generating a relatively accurate virtual three-dimensional model of a head/face of a user. Depth frames are received from a depth sensor and color frames are received from a camera, wherein such frames capture a head of a user. Based upon the depth frames and the color frames, the three-dimensional model of the head of the user is generated.

Abstract: Head pose tracking technique embodiments are presented that use a group of sensors configured so as to be disposed on a user's head. This group of sensors includes a depth sensor apparatus used to identify the three dimensional locations of features within a scene, and at least one other type of sensor. Data output by each sensor in the group of sensors is periodically input, and each time the data is input it is used to compute a transformation matrix that when applied to a previously determined head pose location and orientation established when the first sensor data was input identifies a current head pose location and orientation. This transformation matrix is then applied to the previously determined head pose location and orientation to identify a current head pose location and orientation.

Abstract: Videos are retargeted to a target display for viewing with little to no geometric distortion or video information loss. Salient regions of video frames may be determined using scale-space spatiotemporal information. Video information loss may be a result of spatial loss, due to cropping, and resolution loss, due to resizing. A desired cropping window may be determined using a coarse-to-fine searching strategy. Video frames may be cropped with a window that matches an aspect ratio of the target display, and resized isotropically to match a size of the target display.
