  • Patent number: 11589116
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for detecting a type of prurient activity shown by a portion of video content. In an example, a machine learning model of a computer system may receive a second portion of video content, the machine learning model including a neural network that is trained to analyze a temporal dimension of the second portion. The machine learning model determines a score indicating a likelihood that the video content shows the type of prurient activity based in part on applying a three-dimensional filter to the second portion of the video content. The computer system then generates a video clip that includes at least the portion of the video content showing the type of prurient activity based on the score, and provides the video clip for display.

  • Patent number: 10558783
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that relate generally to the collection, processing, storage, and graphical representation of medical imaging data associated with patient care. Medical imaging data may be processed using object recognition algorithms to help determined pertinent medical characteristics. Further, a graphical fusion application may generate a graphical representation of medical data that is based at least in part on a combination of medical imaging data and corresponding interpretation data. The graphical representation may overlay a schematic diagram of a relevant organ system, so as to provide a medical practitioner with a visual, more specifically graphical, indication of the medical imaging data. Interpretation data of pertinent medical characteristics may be generated by an automated analysis of the medical imaging data.
