  • Patent number: 10667107
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to surveillance, and more particularly to perform entry and exit monitoring of a user. In an embodiment, the system identifies an entry event (during which a user enters a room being surveilled) and/or an exit event (during which a user leaves a room being surveilled), based on a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) based system. This system uses two receivers one positioned outside and the other positioned inside the room being surveilled, to receive BLE beacon transmitted by a user who is in motion. Based on relative change in Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) values of this beacon with respect to the first and second receivers, the system identifies direction of movement of the user, and in turn, determines one of the entry or exit events.

  • Patent number: 10657668
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and tracking a marker in real time is disclosed. Shape based segmentation of at least one object detected in a first frame from a sequence of frames is performed to define a region of interest (ROI) surrounding an object of interest corresponding to the marker. A marker detection model is dynamically trained based on sampling points from a plurality of pixels in and around the ROI. The marker is then tracked in real-time based on projected ROI in subsequent frames and the trained marker detection model. To optimize computation time required in classifying the pixels as marker pixels or non-marker pixels, the ROI is reduced to half its size, classification is performed on the reduced ROI and to improve accuracy, blob detection and classifying pixels along the boundary of the reduced ROI is performed by processing the ROI in original resolution.

Furthermore, one or more operators are extracted using at least one sub-tree of NP or VP core sub-trees. The rule statement is substantially simultaneously splitted into groups of 3 adjacent words (3-grams). Each of the 3-grams is then compared with a predefined list to extract data properties and class concepts associated with the rule statement. Moreover, subscripts are assigned to the data properties, class concepts and operators. A rule head is then created based on the data properties and operators. Also, a rule is created using the data properties, operators, class concepts, associated subscripts and rule head.

  • Patent number: 10650528
    Abstract: Feature based visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) do not produce reliable camera and structure estimates due to insufficient features in a low-textured environment. Moreover, existing visual SLAMs produce partial reconstruction when the number of 3D-2D correspondences is insufficient for incremental camera estimation using bundle adjustment. Systems and methods of the present disclosure provide edge points based monocular visual SLAM that mitigates these problems. The SLAM is initialized through a validation process. A local optimization process is provided for stable pose estimation in situations where camera tracking becomes unreliable in a very low-textured challenging environment. An efficient and reliable loop closing process that uses structural properties of edges in the frames is also provided.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for biometric authentication of a user using a personalised identification and associated biometric data. In one embodiment, a plurality of personalised identifiers and biometric data may be captured from a number of users and stored in a repository as stored records. The authentication process may be divided into two phases. In the first phase, either a speech recognition or character recognition process may be applied in order to determine the text spoken or written by the user. Subsequently a few records may be fetched from the repository on the basis of text mapping. In the second phase, biometric authentication may be performed by comparing the biometric sample with the stored biometric data corresponding to the fetched records to uniquely identify a single user. Further a machine learning technique may be applied in order to periodically refine a plurality of models stored in the repository.

  • Patent number: 10646999
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting grasping poses for handling target objects is disclosed. The system solves problem of grasp pose detection and finding suitable graspable affordance for picking objects from a confined and cluttered space, such as the bins of a rack in a retail warehouse by creating multiple surface segments within bounding box obtained from a neural network based object recognition module. Surface patches are created using a region growing technique in depth space based on surface normals directions. A Gaussian Mixture Model based on color and depth curvature is used to segment surfaces belonging to target object from background, thereby overcoming inaccuracy of object recognition module trained on a smaller dataset resulting in larger bounding boxes for target objects. Target object shape is identified by using empirical rules on surface attributes thereby detecting graspable affordances and poses thus avoiding collision with neighboring objects and grasping objects more successfully.

  • Publication number: 20200141903
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to non-contact inspection of material for identifying and estimate composition of a material under inspection. Traditionally, material inspection is an invasive process involving contact based approaches. A radar-based approach requires placement of the radar at a specific location, which is a challenge since amplitude of the reflected signal, depends on the distance from the material under inspection. The present disclosure addresses this technical problem by providing a Continuous Wave radar-based approach that is based on absolute slope at extrema points on the reflected signal from the material under inspection.

  • Publication number: 20200143254
    Abstract: A growing need for inferencing to be run on fog devices exists, in order to reduce the upstream network traffic. However, being computationally constrained in nature, executing complex deep inferencing models on such devices has been proved difficult. A system and method for partitioning of deep convolution neural network for execution of computationally constraint devices at a network edge has been provided. The system is configured to use depth wise input partitioning of convolutional operations in deep convolutional neural network (DCNN). The convolution operation is performed based on an input filter depth and number of filters for determining the appropriate parameters for partitioning based on an inference speedup method. The system uses a master-slave network for partitioning the input. The system is configured to address these problems by depth wise partitioning of input which ensures speedup inference of convolution operations by reducing pixel overlaps.

  • Publication number: 20200145900
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to a method and system for multi-hop path selection for mobile robots based on cloud platform providing an optimal path for end-to-end communication in the multi-hop network. Multi-hop path selection for mobile robots, conventionally performed at mobile robot end, may not provide an optimal path as mobile robots are unaware of the global scenario of the multi-hop network. Further, computation at mobile robot end is not an energy efficient solution. The disclosed cloud system communicates the optimal path to the source mobile robot to reach the destination mobile robot through the plurality of Access Points (APs). Multi-hop path selection for mobile robots, currently performed at mobile robot end, may not provide an optimal path as mobile robots are unaware of the global scenario of the multi-hop network. The optimal path computed at cloud system increases the life-time of robotics network there by increasing the efficiency.
