Patent number: 10402660Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for identifying people depicted in images. In one aspect, a process includes receiving an image from a camera. A face of a person is detected in the image. The image is compared to a set of images stored in a local cache. A determination is made whether the face of the person matches a face of a person depicted by at least one image of the set of images. In response to determining that the face of the person does not match a face of a person depicted by at least one image of the set of images, a selection is made of a highest quality image of the face of the person. A server system compares the highest quality image to images from data for the multiple people to identify the person.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2018Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Accenture Global Solutions LimitedInventors: Cyrille Bataller, Anders Astrom, Vitalie Schiopu, Hakim Khalafi

Patent number: 10402659Abstract: Computerized methods and systems, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, may detect event shown within digital video content captured by one or more video cameras, and correlate these detected events to real-world conditions that may not be captured within the digital video data. For example, a computing system may detect events shown within digital video content captured by one or more video cameras, and may obtain data that identifies at least one external event. The computer system may establish a predictive model that correlates values of event parameters that characterize the detected and external events during a first time period, and may apply the predictive model to an event parameter that characterizes an additional event detected during a second time period. Based on an outcome of the predictive model, the computing system may determine an expected value of the external event parameter during the second time period.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2018Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Accenture Global Solutions LimitedInventors: Cyrille Bataller, Anders Astrom
