Patent number: 10115202Abstract: Image analysis techniques may be employed to identify moving and/or static object within a sequence of spatial data frames (102, 300). Attributes of interest may be identified within a sequence of spatial data frames (102, 300). The attributes of interest may be clustered and examined across frames of the spatial data to detect motion vectors. A system (200) may derive information about these attributes of interest and their motion over time and identify moving and/or static objects, and the moving and/or static objects may be used to generate natural language messages describing the motion of the attributes of interest. Example uses include description of moving and/or static objects in data such as weather data, oil spills, cellular growth (e.g., tumor progression), atmospheric conditions (e.g., the size of a hole in the ozone layer), or any other implementation where it may be desirable to detect motion vectors in a sequence of spatial data frames.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2012Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: ARRIA DATA2TEXT LIMITEDInventor: Gowri Somayajulu Sripada
