  • Patent number: 11509836
    Abstract: A method of processing first video data of a region from incoming video data collected by a camera. The method includes subscribing, by a first subscriber, to an endpoint at which the first video data is published after the first video data is preprocessed according to preprocessing parameters defined within a runtime configuration file. The preprocessing includes formatting the incoming video data to create the first video data of the first region of interest with a second field of view that is less than the first field of view. The method further includes processing, by a computer processor, the first video data to determine at least one output that is indicative of a first inference dependent upon the first video data. The preprocessing parameters that format incoming video data to create the first video data are dependent upon the processing to be performed on the first video data.

  • Patent number: 11497980
    Abstract: An interactive exercise method includes streaming exercise content to an interactive video system for display via a mirror, the exercise content including a depiction of an instructor performing a repetitive movement. A video stream of a user performing the repetitive movement is received, via a camera of the interactive video system, and the user is detected in the video stream. The user or a body portion thereof is tracked in the video stream as the user performs the repetitive movement. The method also includes generating a measure of a difference between a form of the user performing the repetitive movement and a predetermined form for the repetitive movement. A corrective movement is displayed to the user, via the display and during the display of the instructor performing the repetitive movement, based on the measure, to conform the form of the user to the predetermined form for the repetitive movement.
