  • Patent number: 11320829
    Abstract: A battery powered artificial intelligence autonomous patrol vehicle. The vehicle is battery powered and is operated autonomously using artificial intelligence. The autonomous patrol vehicle includes a surveillance or detection system on or within an emergency light bar of the autonomous patrol vehicle. The autonomous patrol vehicle autonomously performs patrol surveillance or detection functions such as speed; red-light; and traffic enforcement; traffic enforcement with Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR), face recognition, animal recognition, object recognition, video surveillance and online continuous analysis and any equivalent surveillance or detection functions. The autonomous patrol vehicle stores and sends live and/or stored data to a command control center while moving or parked. The surveillance or detection system navigates with the use of any one of or a combination of a camera, radar and Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) sensors and can operate by viewing 360 degrees.

  • Patent number: 11056150
    Abstract: Multi-time search analytics for smart video indexing based on active search and video database, which is configured to be operated without any need for a second broadcast with a camera, a second large data index, additional servers, a third additional software for indexing and analytics, a third additional face recognition system, a license recognition system, an object recognition system, or an additional net bandwidth for a new hardware. The method of operating multi-time search analytics for the additional net bandwidth for new hardware includes following steps: recognizing objects, activating software components and/or incoming alarms, collecting the alarms in an alarm database pool, extracting a first video with a same length in the alarm database pool, performing a motion recognition with H264/H265, recording detected motions by a video content recorder, transferring the detected motions to a timeline adjuster and changing the detected motions in accordance with an Alpha Time Zone.

  • Patent number: 11049197
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system in a vehicle which enables fully automatic preparation of pizza during delivery in order to deliver crisp pizza fresh out of the oven to the customers. The system carries out the process starting from the fermentation of the dough up to the cooking of the product in the vehicle automatically without using manpower. Delivery with optional autonomous driving characteristic is performed without a driver. Pizza delivery vehicles operating in real time with the back office and management application, calculates the cooking time by using the position information of the vehicle and times it such that the cooking process is completed when the vehicle arrives at the delivery destination. As a result, it is enabled for the pizzas cooked inside the stone oven within the vehicle to be delivered to the customers with quality such that they were cooked in a restaurant.

  • Patent number: 10946793
    Abstract: A vehicle mounted apparatus adapted to assess a threat level of a suspect and to guide a police officer in responding to the suspect and having a CPU, a plurality of sensors, and an output device. The sensors include vision, sound, proximity, speed, and Xray vision sensors. The apparatus is adapted to “read” a vehicle's license plate, perform Xray scanning of a vehicle's inner compartments, and to perform facial recognition and weapons detection. The apparatus is adapted to combine sensed data with known data of suspects and risks to “intelligently” output a threat/risk assessment. The apparatus may automatically inform a central monitoring station of the threat/risk assessment and automatically send an appropriate level of police backup. The apparatus is preferably adapted to automatically monitor proximate moving vehicles during a police stop, and upon detecting a speeding vehicle, to automatically respond with an appropriate level of response.

  • Patent number: 10854072
    Abstract: An automatic calibration system for a traffic system includes at least one position determining device, at least one image capturing device, a matching and tagging module, an image analysis module, and a calibration module. The position determining device detects a vehicle in violation of traffic rules and activates the image capturing device to capture images of the vehicle. The vehicle is matched and tagged in the images according to vehicle-related information detected by the position determining device by the matching and tagging module. The image analysis module analyses a plurality of images selected from the images to obtain an analysis result. The analysis result is compared with the vehicle-related information by a processor. If the analysis result is different than the vehicle-related information, the position determining device is calibrated by the calibration module. If the analysis result is the same as the vehicle-related information, a calibration is not performed.
