  • Patent number: 11497451
    Abstract: A method for clip selection includes receiving through an interface to a medical imaging device, a selection of a diagnostic procedure and a target portion of a mammalian body. Thereafter, the device acquires video clip imagery of the target portion and stores the video clip imagery in an image store. Each video clip of the video clip imagery is then image processed to determine a view and a quality of each video clip and a rule is retrieved from a rules base corresponding to the selected diagnostic procedure and target portion. In this regard, the rule specifies a requisite view and quality of the video clip imagery. Finally, the retrieved rule is applied to the video clip imagery as a filter to produce a subset of video clip imagery satisfying the specified requisite view and quality and the subset of video clip imagery is stored in the image store.

  • Patent number: 11393210
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device that receives images from one or more cameras, process images and automatically detects unknown humans in the field of view of the camera, for example to prevent burglary. In order to do so, the device comprises a processing logic configured to detect faces, recognize faces and verify if a face corresponds to a face in a collection of faces of known humans. If a face is detected, but does not correspond to a known face, an alarm event is triggered. The processing logic is further configured to classify objects in the image in classes of object comprising at least a human class. If a human is recognized, but no face has been detected for this human, an alarm event is also triggered. Thus, an alarm can be triggered in any case wherein a human is detected, which is not a known, trusty human.
