  • Patent number: 11854302
    Abstract: A system for calibrating a three-dimensional scanning device includes a structured-light scanner capable of performing a structured-light operation, and a processor that performs calibration on a device under calibration (DUC). The structured-light scanner captures a base image by performing the structured-light operation prior to calibration. The structured-light scanner captures a calibration image with respect to corresponding DUC during calibration, and the calibration image is inputted to the processor, which determines transformation mapping from the calibration image to the base image. The determined transformation is then transferred to the DUC during calibration.

  • Patent number: 11810321
    Abstract: Methods and systems for image clustering are described, and include first receiving a plurality of images from a video of a game. Next, determining a first feature vector of a first player from the plurality of images by inputting the plurality of images to an artificial intelligence (AI)-based process. Next, dividing the plurality of images into a first subset of images and a second subset of images based on the first feature vector. Next, receiving a first identifier tagging the first player in a first image of the first subset. Finally, identifying a second player in a second image in the second subset by propagating the first identifier of the first subset, based on a distance measure associated with the first feature vector from the artificial intelligence (AI)-based process. Running on a mobile computing device, the method allows multiplayer tagging to be easily performed in almost any environment.

  • Patent number: 11776308
    Abstract: A frictionless access control system and method embodying satellite cameras for facial recognition are disclosed. The cameras capture image data of individuals at an access point such as a door. Preferably, two or more cameras are placed on opposite sides of the access point to increase the likelihood that the individuals are captured in the image data. A facial cropper module extracts facial patches from the image data, and a facial signature module computes facial signatures from the facial patches. A facial recognition module receives the computed facial signatures from the facial signature module, matches the computed facial signatures to stored facial signatures, and sends user identity information of individuals corresponding to the stored facial signatures to the facial signature module when the computed facial signatures match the stored facial signatures.
