  • Patent number: 12236566
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an anomaly detection device includes a processor that is configured to acquire input data. The processor derives a first anomaly degree corresponding to a difference between first feature data derived from the input data using a trained deep model and second feature data derived from the input data using a trained prediction model. The processor derives a second anomaly degree corresponding to an estimated relative positional relationship between a first and second region in the image data based on the second feature data. A total anomaly degree for the input data is then calculated from the first anomaly degree and the second anomaly degree.

  • Patent number: 12229217
    Abstract: The technology disclosed introduces two types of neural networks: “master” or “generalists” networks and “expert” or “specialists” networks. Both, master networks and expert networks, are fully connected neural networks that take a feature vector of an input hand image and produce a prediction of the hand pose. Master networks and expert networks differ from each other based on the data on which they are trained. In particular, master networks are trained on the entire data set. In contrast, expert networks are trained only on a subset of the entire dataset. In regards to the hand poses, master networks are trained on the input image data representing all available hand poses comprising the training data (including both real and simulated hand images).

  • Patent number: 12205408
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for identifying interactions and events associated with inventory locations. For instance, system(s) may receive image data representing a user interacting with an inventory location. The system(s) may then generate heatmap data indicating a first portion of the image data that represents the inventory location and feature data indicating a second portion of the image data that represents the user. Next, the system(s) may analyze the heatmap data with respect to the feature data to determine that the second portion of the image data corresponds to the first portion of the image data. As such, the system(s) may determine that the user is interacting with the inventory location. Based on the determination, the system(s) may analyze the first portion of the image data to identify an event that occurs at the inventory location, such as the user removing an item.

    Abstract: A method for determining a disease state prediction, relating to a potential disease or medical condition of a subject, includes accessing a set of subject images, the subject images capturing a part of a subject's body, and accessing a set of clinical factors from the subject. The clinical factors are collected by a device or a medical practitioner substantially contemporaneously with the capture of the subject images. The subject images are inputted into an image data model to generate disease metrics for disease prediction for the subject. The disease metrics generated by the image data model and the clinical factors are inputted into a classifier to determine the disease state prediction, and the disease state prediction is returned.
