  • Patent number: 12026854
    Abstract: A local variance or an edge amount is calculated as an image feature amount by analyzing a reference image of the same field of view as multiple band images constituting a multispectral image, a filter parameter is calculated from the image feature amount, and smoothing the band images while preserving edges is performed by using the filter parameter. When a multispectral image including a band image of a wavelength band in which a sufficient signal amount is not obtained is obtained, it is possible to improve the S/N ratio of the multispectral image without destroying edges.

  • Patent number: 12002174
    Abstract: Described are systems and methods for detecting objects using calibrated imaging devices and obfuscating, in real-time or near real time, portions of the video data to protect the privacy of operators represented in the video data. For example, a position of an operator within a fulfillment center may be determined or tracked in video data and the pixels representative of that operator may be obfuscated using pixilation and/or other techniques so that a reviewing agent that is viewing the video data cannot determine the identity of the operator. Such obfuscation may be performed in real-time or near real-time using automated processing. In addition, only portions of the video data may be obfuscated so that events (e.g., item picks, item place) and/or other objects represented in the video data are still viewable to the reviewing agent.

  • Patent number: 11967098
    Abstract: A vehicular trailer angle detection system includes a camera disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle. The system determines, via processing of frames of image data captured by the camera, features of a trailer present rearward of the vehicle and hitched to the vehicle by determining features that have similar position changes between a current frame of image data captured by the camera and a previous frame of image data captured by the camera. Responsive to movement of the trailer relative to the vehicle, and via processing of captured frames of image data, the system tracks determined features over multiple captured frames of image data for different positions of the trailer relative to the vehicle. The system determines angle of the trailer relative to the vehicle based at least in part on tracking of determined features of the trailer over multiple captured frames of image data.

  • Patent number: 11967165
    Abstract: An Artificial Intelligence (AI) based document processing and validation system identifies anomalies such as errors, fraud, and duplicates of received documents and enables automatic actions for valid documents using machine learning (ML) techniques. The received documents are processed for determining probabilities for errors, fraud, and duplicates. A validation worklist is generated with the documents arranged in descending order of the probabilities and invalid documents with higher probabilities are flagged for review while the valid documents with lower probabilities are further processed for the execution of automatic actions. The feedback from the invalid document review is used to further train the models in determining the probabilities.
