  • Patent number: 12154383
    Abstract: A system and method for generating data suitable for determining one or more parameters of at least one eye of a subject. The method includes receiving image data of an eye at a first time from a camera of known camera intrinsics and defining an image plane. A first ellipse in the image data is determined. The method includes determining a first eye intersecting line in 3D expected to intersect a 3D center of the eyeball at the first time as a line which is, in the direction of the orientation vector, parallel-shifted to the first center line by an expected distance between the center of the eyeball and a center of the pupil.

  • Patent number: 12147895
    Abstract: This invention provides a system and method for finding patterns in images that incorporates neural net classifiers. A pattern finding tool is coupled with a classifier that can be run before or after the tool to have labeled pattern results with sub-pixel accuracy. In the case of a pattern finding tool that can detect multiple templates, its performance is improved when a neural net classifier informs the pattern finding tool to work only on a subset of the originally trained templates. Similarly, in the case of a pattern finding tool that initially detects a pattern, a neural network classifier can then determine whether it has found the correct pattern. The neural network can also reconstruct/clean-up an imaged shape, and/or to eliminate pixels less relevant to the shape of interest, therefore reducing the search time, as well significantly increasing the chance of lock on the correct shapes.

  • Patent number: 12142030
    Abstract: When it is assumed that a large-scale Deep Neural Network for autonomous driving applied compression, there are problems of a decrease in recognition accuracy of a post-compression Neural Network (NN) model and an increase in a compression design period, due to a large number of harmful or unnecessary training images (invalid training images). A training image selection unit B100 calculates an influence value on an inference, and generates an indexed training image set 1004-1 necessary for an NN compression design, by using the influence value. A neural network compression unit P200 notified of the result via a memory P300 compresses the NN.

  • Patent number: 12112536
    Abstract: A camera apparatus includes control circuitry, where in a training phase, the control circuitry is configured to generate a set of binary images of foliage masks, where each binary image comprises one or more foliage regions demarcated from a non-foliage region. A modified training dataset of color images is generated and a custom neural network model for foliage detection is trained. The control circuitry causes the custom neural network model to not only learn a plurality of features related to foliage but also learn a color variation range of predefined color associated with the plurality of features and utilize combination of the plurality of features related to foliage and the color variation range to obtain trained custom neural network model. The control circuitry is configured to operate the trained custom neural network model to detect one or more foliage regions in a new color image in real time.

  • Patent number: 12094232
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for automatically identifying table locations and table cell types of located tables. One example method includes receiving a request to detect tables. Features are extracted from an input spreadsheet and provided to a trained table detection model trained to predict whether worksheet cells are table cells or background cells and to a cell classification model that is trained to classify worksheet cells by cell structure type. The table detection model generates binary classifications that indicate whether cells are table cells or background cells. A contour detection process is performed on the binary classifications to generate table location information that describes at least one table boundary in the spreadsheet. The trained cell classification model generates a cell structure type classification for each cell that is included in a table boundary generated by the contour detection process.

  • Patent number: 12088856
    Abstract: A method of compressing image data comprising a set of image values each representing a position in image-value space so as to define an occupied region thereof. The method comprises selectively applying a series of compression transforms to subsets of the image data items to generate a transformed set of image data items occupying a compacted region of value space. The method further comprises identifying a set of one or more reference data items that quantizes the compacted region in value space. For each image data item in the set of image data items, a sequence of decompression transforms from a fixed set of decompression transforms is identified that generates an approximation of that image data item when applied to a selected one of the one or more reference data items. Each image data item in the set of image data items is encoded as a representation of the identified sequence of decompression transforms for that image data item.

  • Patent number: 12087057
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for digital fingerprinting of media content. The system does this by normalizing and pre-processing the media content into a standard format, then generating fingerprints for image, audio, and/or video aspects of the media. These fingerprints are mathematical vectors generated using one or more techniques, such as perceptual hashes coupled with machine learning. Once the fingerprints for new content is generated, the system can compare those fingerprints to fingerprints of known content to determine if the new content contains prohibited content.
