Publication number: 20200210890Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for analyzing and learning behavior in an acquired stream of video frames. In one embodiment, a trajectory analyzer clusters trajectories of objects depicted in video frames and builds a trajectory model including the trajectory clusters, a prior probability of assigning a trajectory to each cluster, and an intra-cluster probability distribution indicating the probability that a trajectory mapping to each cluster is least various distances away from the cluster. Given a new trajectory, a score indicating how unusual the trajectory is may be computed based on the product of the probability of the trajectory mapping to a particular cluster and the intra-cluster probability of the trajectory being a computed distance from the cluster. The distance used to match the trajectory to the cluster and determine intra-cluster probability is computed using a parallel Needleman-Wunsch algorithm, with cells in antidiagonals of a matrix and connected sub-matrices being computed in parallel.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2019Publication date: July 2, 2020Applicant: OMNI AI, Inc.Inventors: Gang XU, Ming-Jung SEOW, Tao Yang, Wesley Kenneth COBB

Publication number: 20200193091Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for building a dictionary of words from combinations of symbols generated based on input data. A neuro-linguistic behavior recognition system includes a neuro-linguistic module that generates a linguistic model that describes data input from a source (e.g., video data, SCADA data, etc.). To generate words for the linguistic model, a lexical analyzer component in the neuro-linguistic module receives a stream of symbols, each symbol generated based on an ordered stream of normalized vectors generated from input data. The lexical analyzer component determines words from combinations of the symbols based on a hierarchical learning model having one or more levels. Each level indicates a length of the words to be identified at that level. Statistics are evaluated for the words identified at each level. The lexical analyzer component identifies one or more of the words having statistical significance.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2019Publication date: June 18, 2020Applicant: Omni AI, Inc.Inventors: Gang XU, Ming-Jung SEOW, Tao YANG, Wesley Kenneth COBB

Publication number: 20200167963Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for creating a background model of a scene using both a pixel based approach and a context based approach. The combined approach provides an effective technique for segmenting scene foreground from background in frames of a video stream. Further, this approach can scale to process large numbers of camera feeds simultaneously, e.g., using parallel processing architectures, while still generating an accurate background model. Further, using both a pixel based approach and context based approach ensures that the video analytics system can effectively and efficiently respond to changes in a scene, without overly increasing computational complexity. In addition, techniques are disclosed for updating the background model, from frame-to-frame, by absorbing foreground pixels into the background model via an absorption window, and dynamically updating background/foreground thresholds.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2019Publication date: May 28, 2020Applicant: Omni AI, Inc.Inventors: Kishor Adinath SAITWAL, Lon W.

Publication number: 20190289215Abstract: A behavioral recognition system may include both a computer vision engine and a machine learning engine configured to observe and learn patterns of behavior in video data. Certain embodiments may provide image stabilization of a video stream obtained from a camera. An image stabilization module in the behavioral recognition system obtains a reference image from the video stream. The image stabilization module identifies alignment regions within the reference image based on the regions of the image that are dense with features. Upon determining that the tracked features of a current image is out of alignment with the reference image, the image stabilization module uses the most feature dense alignment region to estimate an affine transformation matrix to apply to the entire current image to warp the image into proper alignment.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2019Publication date: September 19, 2019Applicant: Omni AI, Inc.Inventors: Kishor Adinath SAITWAL, Wesley Kenneth COBB, Tao YANG

Patent number: 10410058Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for analyzing a scene depicted in an input stream of video frames captured by a video camera. The techniques include evaluating sequence pairs representing segments of object trajectories. Assuming the objects interact, each of the sequences of the sequence pair may be mapped to a sequence cluster of an adaptive resonance theory (ART) network. A rareness value for the pair of sequence clusters may be determined based on learned joint probabilities of sequence cluster pairs. A statistical anomaly model, which may be specific to an interaction type or general to a plurality of interaction types, is used to determine an anomaly temperature, and alerts are issued based at least on the anomaly temperature. In addition, the ART network and the statistical anomaly model are updated based on the current interaction.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2018Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Omni AI, Inc.Inventors: Kishor Adinath Saitwal, Dennis G.

Publication number: 20190258867Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for matching a current background scene of an image received by a surveillance system with a gallery of scene presets that each represent a previously captured background scene. A quadtree decomposition analysis is used to improve the robustness of the matching operation when the scene lighting changes (including portions containing over-saturation/under-saturation) or a portion of the content changes. The current background scene is processed to generate a quadtree decomposition including a plurality of window portions. Each of the window portions is processed to generate a plurality of phase spectra. The phase spectra are then projected onto a corresponding plurality of scene preset image matrices of one or more scene preset. When a match between the current background scene and one of the scene presets is identified, the matched scene preset is updated. Otherwise a new scene preset is created based on the current background scene.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2019Publication date: August 22, 2019Applicant: Omni AI, Inc.Inventors: Wesley Kenneth COBB, Bobby Ernest BLYTHE, Rajkiran Kumar GOTTUMUKKAL, Kishor Adinath SAITWAL, Gang XU, Tao YANG

Publication number: 20190180135Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for extracting micro-features at a pixel-level based on characteristics of one or more images. Importantly, the extraction is unsupervised, i.e., performed independent of any training data that defines particular objects, allowing a behavior-recognition system to forgo a training phase and for object classification to proceed without being constrained by specific object definitions. A micro-feature extractor that does not require training data is adaptive and self-trains while performing the extraction. The extracted micro-features are represented as a micro-feature vector that may be input to a micro-classifier which groups objects into object type clusters based on the micro-feature vectors.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2018Publication date: June 13, 2019Applicant: Omni AI, Inc.Inventors: Wesley Kenneth COBB, Rajkiran K.

Patent number: 10257466Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for analyzing a scene depicted in an input stream of video frames captured by a video camera. The techniques include receiving data for an object within the scene and determining whether the object has remained substantially stationary within the scene for at least a threshold period. If the object is determined to have remained stationary for at least the threshold period, a rareness score is calculated for the object to indicate a likelihood of the object being stationary to an observed degree at an observed location. The rareness score may use a learning model to take into account previous stationary and/or non-stationary behavior of objects within the scene. In general, the learning model may be updated based on observed stationary and/or non-stationary behaviors of the objects. If the rareness score meets reporting conditions, the stationary object event may be reported.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2017Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: Omni AI, Inc.Inventors: Gang Xu, Wesley Kenneth Cobb
