Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for the automatic detection of persons engaged in the open carry of firearms at a venue. The system and method comprise strategically placed cameras at the venue which are connected to edge devices which extract frames from video generated by the cameras. The video frames are sent to a server for analysis by an AI/ML model trained to detect firearms and, specifically, to detect persons carrying firearms. If a person wielding a firearm is detected in any image, an alert is raised and local authorities are automatically contacted. The system is designed to run continuously such as to be able to quickly detect a person in a venue carrying a firearm.

Abstract: A method for decoding is disclosed. A first image and a second image of a scene are received by a processor. The first image is downsampled and is different from the second image. A residual map is obtained according to the second image and the downsampled first image by the processor. The downsampled first image is upsampled by the processor. The first image is reconstructed based on the upsampled first image and the residual map by the processor.

Abstract: A method for monitoring user performance in launching objects at sporting events includes capturing, with an image sensor on glasses worn by a user at a sporting event, two-dimensional (2-D) images of an object launched by a player participating in the sporting event. The launched object and a stationary object at the sporting event are identified. A location of the image sensor is determined based on the stationary object within at least one of the 2D images, and locations of the launched object are determined based on the 2D images and the determined location of the image sensor. An outcome of the launched object is then determined, and the outcome is used to determine a parameter indicative of a performance of the player for the sporting event. Feedback indicative of the performance of the player is then provided based on the determined parameter.
