Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided to automatically identify advertisements or other portions of a broadcast television stream before the stream is distributed via a cable, DBS, IPTV or other medium. The television broadcast is received at the data processing system, and audio content of the television broadcast is analyzed to generate an audio fingerprint of a portion of the audio content. The identified audio fingerprint are compared to audio fingerprints stored in a database to thereby identify the portion of the television broadcast based on the generated audio fingerprint. By identifying the contents of an actual broadcast prior to redistribution of the broadcast, additional actions may be taken that are unique to the identified content.

Abstract: A system and method for creating small data size representations of images, created on the image detection device, over wireless connections when there is insufficient bandwidth to support detailed images is disclosed. Image data size is often too large to send over low-powered long-distance wireless connections. Image data must be dramatically reduced to enable use of the lowest-power longest-distance wireless platforms including LoRa with LoRaWAN. Common image compression algorithms include jpeg and mpeg that provide only moderate reductions in data size. The described invention reduces data size beyond jpeg compression by reducing targeted image objects to simple outlines, contours or vectors. Monitoring security, wildlife, agricultural and other natural events require images of objects including insects, crops, livestock, wildlife or intruders. Contours, outlines or vectors of targeted objects are often sufficiently recognizable to provide useful information.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for replacing digital content. An example embodiment operates by detecting a segment of a data stream to be output by a media device and generating a fingerprint of digital content corresponding to the segment using automatic content recognition (ACR). The example embodiment further operates by comparing the fingerprint with a plurality of fingerprints of a plurality of digital content, identifying a matched fingerprint of a matched digital content, and comparing metadata of the matched digital content with metadata of a restricted digital content. The example embodiment further operates by determining that the digital content corresponding to the segment is blocked from being output by the media stream and replacing the digital content with new digital content in the segment.

Abstract: A configuration method for projecting apparatus and a projecting apparatus are provided. In the method, at least one first identification pattern is projected, where the first identification pattern records a first configuration data of a target projecting apparatus. A first captured image is obtained, where the first captured image captures the first identification pattern. The first configuration data of the target projecting apparatus is identified from the first captured image. At least one parameter of a projecting apparatus is configured according to the first configuration data. Therefore, the efficiency of configuring projecting apparatuses could be improved.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for overlaying content on video streams. In one aspect, a category of a video is identified. Confidence scores are determined that each indicate a likelihood that a location in a frame includes a feature of a feature type. A weight for each feature type is determined, based on the category, that reflects an importance of not occluding features of the feature type. Confidence scores are adjusted, for each feature type, based on the weight for the feature type, to generate adjusted confidence scores. The adjusted confidence scores are aggregated for each location for each frame to generate aggregated and adjusted confidence scores. A location at which to position overlaid content during video display is determined based on the aggregated and adjusted confidence scores. The overlaid content is provided for display at the determined location in the video.

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) resolution of a single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) based eye tracking system is enhanced through sensor and/or light source steering. The light source may illuminate the whole eye, while the sensor and/or one or more mirrors associated with the sensor may be steered to capture images of different portions of the eye. The images are stitched to achieve a high-resolution, full view of the eye. Alternatively, the sensor may capture a low-resolution image of the whole eye and be steered to capture multiple low-resolution images, which may be used for interpolation and creation of a high-resolution image of the eye. Both the light source and the sensor (and/or the mirrors) may be steered to illuminate and capture images of different portions of the eye, which may then be stitched to achieve a high-resolution, full view of the eye.

Abstract: A technique including capturing, by one or more cameras of a set of cameras disposed about a vehicle, one or more images, wherein a surround view system of the vehicle is configured to render a surround view image using a first hardware accelerator based on the one or more images, determining that a first hardware accelerator is unavailable, and rendering the surround view image using a second hardware accelerator based on the captured one or more images.

Abstract: A control device connected to a media device can autonomously return the active source input of the media device to a previously selected active source input. Any client device within a network may be able to switch the active source input of the media device to the source input associated with the device so as to deliver media content to the media device. Tor return to the previous active source input generally requires user intervention. However, the control device can store the previous active source input of the media device and then, when the media content is terminated or the client device disconnects from the media device, transmit a source input command that causes the media device to cycle through the plurality of source inputs associated with the media device until the active source input is the previous source input without requiring any user intervention.
