Patent number: 11030725Abstract: A video processing system and method apply a bilateral filter to images of a video stream in real time. The bilateral filter is executed and applied using a graphics processing unit (GPU) controlled by a processor. The bilateral filter may be encoded in a shader operated by the GPU. The GPU or processor may be configured to compress one or more video images of the video stream. Blurring or smoothing of the video images by the shader-implemented bilateral filter may reduce image noise thereby increasing a compression performance. The bilateral filter may be applied exclusively to a background of the video images which are substantially free of sharp edges. The video stream may be received from cameras covering an area of an airport, which may be an airport apron.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2016Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: Searidge Technologies Inc.Inventors: Christian Tim Thurow, Alex Sauriol, Moodie Cheikh

Patent number: 10666862Abstract: Panoramic videos are generated from multiple video feeds in real time received from multiple video cameras, such as an array of video cameras having overlapping fields of view. Texture mapping techniques are employed to correct lens distortion or other defects or deficiencies in the video frames in each of the video feeds caused by optical properties of the corresponding video camera. Video frames of related video feeds, such as the video feeds of cameras in an array of cameras having adjacent and overlapping fields of view, are seamlessly stitched automatically based on an initial manual configuration, again employing texture mapping techniques. A colour profile of the different video frames is normalized to provide a uniform and seamless colour profile of the video panoramic view.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2015Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: SEARIDGE TECHNOLOGIES INC.Inventors: Christian Tim Thurow, Moodie Cheikh, Alexander Sauriol

Patent number: 9417310Abstract: A system for tracking objects using an intelligent Video processing system in the context of airport surface monitoring. The system addresses airport surface monitoring operational issues such as all weather conditions, high robustness, and low false report rate. The output can be used to complement existing airport surface monitoring systems. By combining the use of multi-sensors and an adverse weather optimized system, the system is capable of producing an improved stream of information for the target object over traditional computer vision based airport surface monitoring systems.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2014Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Searidge Technologies Inc.Inventors: Jean-Sebastien Meloche, Alexander Sauriol, Moodie Cheikh
