Patent number: 10326940Abstract: A video tracking system includes a user interface configured to facilitate tracking of a target between video cameras. The user interface includes user controls configured to assist a user in selecting video cameras as the target moves between fields of view of the video cameras. These user controls are automatically associated with specific cameras based on a camera topology relative to a point of view of a camera whose video data is currently being viewed. The video tracking system further includes systems and methods of synchronizing video data generated using the video cameras and of automatically generating a stitched video sequence based on the user selection of video cameras. The target may be tracked in real-time or in previously recorded video and may be track forward or backwards in time.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2016Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: PROXIMEX CORPORATIONInventors: Hu Chin, Ken Prayoon Cheng

Patent number: 7136524Abstract: Systems and methods of robust perceptual color identification are disclosed. The methods include a multilevel analysis for determining the robust perceptual color of an object based on observed colors. This multilevel analysis can include a pixel level, a frame level, and/or a sequence level. The determination may make use of color drift matrices and trained functions such as statistical probability functions. The color drift tables and function training are based on training data generated by observing objects of known robust perceptual color in a variety of circumstances. Embodiments of the invention are applicable to the identification and tracking of objects, for example, in a surveillance video system.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2005Date of Patent: November 14, 2006Assignee: Proximex CorporationInventors: King-Shy Goh, Edward Y.
