  • REMOTE VIDEO TRIGGERING AND TAGGING
    Publication number: 20200051413
    Abstract: A video collection system collects and sends metadata related to video data such that recording may be triggered and tagged. The video collection system utilizes a mobile broadband network (such as a cellular network) to send metadata, receive triggers, and perform other functions while the video collection system is in the field. The video collection system broadly comprises a plurality of video cameras and a video collection manager. The video cameras each include a mobile broadband modem or other wireless communication element for sending metadata messages. In some embodiments the mobile broadband modem may also send still images, audio data, and video data.

  • Applied artificial intelligence technology for processing trade data to detect patterns indicative of potential trade spoofing
    Patent number: 10552735
    Abstract: Various techniques are described for using machine-learning artificial intelligence to improve how trading data can be processed to detect improper trading behaviors such as trade spoofing. In an example embodiment, semi-supervised machine learning is applied to positively labeled and unlabeled training data to develop a classification model that distinguishes between trading behavior likely to qualify as trade spoofing and trading behavior not likely to qualify as trade spoofing. Also, clustering techniques can be employed to segment larger sets of training data and trading data into bursts of trading activities that are to be assessed for potential trade spoofing status.

  • Systems and methods for 3D image distification
    Patent number: 10504003
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for Distification of 3D imagery. A computing device may obtain a three dimensional (3D) image that includes rules defining a 3D point cloud used to generate a two dimensional (2D) image matrix. The 2D image matrix may include 2D matrix point(s) mapped to the 3D image, where each 2D matrix point can be associated with a horizontal coordinate and a vertical coordinate. The computing device can generate an output feature vector that includes, for at least one of the 2D matrix points, the horizontal coordinate and the vertical coordinate of the 2D matrix point, and a depth coordinate of a 3D point in the 3D point cloud of the 3D image. The 3D point can have a nearest horizontal and vertical coordinate pair that corresponds to the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the at least one 2D matrix point.

  • WIRELESSLY CONDUCTED ELECTRONIC WEAPON
    Publication number: 20190323802
    Abstract: An electroshock system wirelessly delivers a shock to a subject. The electroshock system may include a launcher, a wireless projectile, a power source, and a wireless power transmitter. The launcher is configured to be grasped by a user. The wireless projectile is configured to detach from the launcher and adhere to a subject. The power source contributes power for the administration of a shock to the subject. The wireless power transmitter delivers said contributed power to the wireless projectile while the wireless projectile is detached from the launcher. The power source and the wireless transmitter may be co-located with the launcher, or may be separate (such as secured to a person or within a vehicle).

  • Systems and methods regarding 2D image and 3D image ensemble prediction models
    Patent number: 10366300
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating an enhanced prediction from a 2D and 3D image-based ensemble model. In various embodiments, a computing device can be configured to obtain one or more sets of 2D and 3D images and to standardize each of the 2D and 3D images to allow for comparison and interoperability. Corresponding 2D3D image pairs can be determined from the standardized 2D and 3D pairs where the 2D and 3D images correspond based on a common attribute, such as a similar timestamp or time value. The enhanced prediction can use separate underlying 2D and 3D prediction models where the 2D and 3D images of a 2D3D pair are each input to the respective underlying 2D and 3D prediction models to generate respective 2D and 3D predict actions.

  • Systems and methods regarding image distification and prediction models
    Patent number: 10289938
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating an image-based prediction model, where a computing device may obtain a set 3D images from a 3D image data source. Each of the 3D images can have 3D point cloud data and a Distification technique can be applied to the 3D point cloud data of each 3D image to generate output feature vector(s). The output feature vector(s) may then be used to train and generate the image-based prediction model.

  • TRACKING AND ANALYSIS OF DRIVERS WITHIN A FLEET OF VEHICLES
    Publication number: 20180315318
    Abstract: A system for tracking a fleet of vehicles and analyzing a driver associated with the fleet of vehicles. The system includes a monitoring engine for receiving information from a vehicle-tracking device associated with a vehicle of the fleet. A mapping engine displays, to a user, an icon indicative of an incident on a map. A video repository engine receives video data from a video camera associated with the vehicle and associates an incident video with the icon. A driver analysis engine obtains the incident information associated with a plurality of drivers and analyzes the incident information associated with the driver to generate a driver profile. The driver analysis engine compares the driver with corresponding drivers in the same and other fleets.
