  • Patent number: 9898647
    Abstract: A system for detecting, identifying and tracking objects of interest over time is configured to derive object identification data from images captured from one or more image capture devices. In some embodiments of the system, the one or more image capture devices perform a first object detection and identification analysis on images captured by the one or more image capture devices. The system may then transmit the captured images to a server that performs a second object detection and identification analysis on the captures images. In various embodiments, the second analysis is more detailed than the first analysis. The system may also be configured to compile data from the one or more image capture devices and server into a timeline of object of interest detection and identification data over time.

  • Patent number: 9269159
    Abstract: A system and method for tracking association of two or more objects over time, according to various embodiments, is configured to determine the association based at least in part on an image. The system may be configured to capture the image, identify two or more objects of interest within the image, determine whether the two or more objects are associated in the image, and store image association data for the two or more objects. In various embodiments the system is configured to create a timeline of object association over time for display to a user.

  • Publication number: 20150356699
    Abstract: A dynamic scheduling system according to various embodiments is configured to optimize pairings of one or more students with one or more teachers, one or more classrooms, and one or more activities. In various embodiments, the system is configured to optimize the pairings based at least in part on one or more needs of the one or more students, as well as teacher, classroom, activity and resource availability. In particular embodiments, the system is configured to factor in a plurality of needs for each particular student while weighing the plurality of needs of each particular student against the needs of other students when optimizing the pairings.
