Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to a system for testing a video analytics system. In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a processor circuit executing a sequence of instructions causing the processor circuit to receive a first data specifying boundaries of a first rectangular region indicated as comprising an image of a face in a video frame of a motion video; receive a second data specifying boundaries of a second rectangular region indicated as comprising an image of a face in the video frame of the motion video; measure a distance between corresponding corners of the first and second rectangular regions; compare the distance to a distance threshold; and determine whether the first and second rectangular regions comprise images of a same face based on the comparison. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Selecting when to display one of a plurality of advertisements on a digital sign. An embodiment of the invention gathers video analytics data from a plurality of objects that pass by a sensor, and analyze the gathered video analytics data to determine a type for each of the objects. The embodiment then trains advertising models based on the determined types and selects an advertisement from a plurality of advertisements for display on the digital sign based on the trained advertising models.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the invention, a method and apparatus for adaptive queue scheduling. An embodiment of a method comprises receiving packets of data in a first queue, each of the packets having one of a plurality of priorities, the plurality of priorities including a first priority and a second priority; copying a first plurality of packets from the first queue to a second queue; scheduling a first subset of packets from the second queue; and determining whether the second queue includes a packet with the first priority. If the second queue includes a packet with a first priority, scheduling a second subset of packets from the second queue; and if the second queue does not include a packet with the first priority, copying a second plurality of packets from the first queue to the second queue.

Abstract: Various techniques are illustrated and discussed for transferring a communication task, such as a data download, interactive data access, etc., from a first base station to a second base station to accommodate movement of the portable device within a particular environment. Base stations include machines such as set top box (STB), access points, as well as any other device operable to provide data and/or services to the portable device. The phrase “portable device” broadly refers to any device that may easily change location, such as handheld devices including portable computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and the like.
