Patent number: 11798297Abstract: The invention relates to a control device (1) for a vehicle for determining the perceptual load of a visual and dynamic driving scene. The control device is configured to: ?receive a sensor output (101) of a sensor (3), the sensor (3) sensing the visual driving scene, ?extract a set of scene features (102) from the sensor output (101), the set of scene features (102) representing static and/or dynamic information of the visual driving scene, ?determine the perceptual load (104) of the set of extracted scene features (102) based on a predetermined load model (103), the load model (103) being predetermined based on reference video scenes each being labelled with a load value, ?map the perceptual load to the sensed driving and ?determine a spatial and temporal intensity distribution of the perceptual load across the sensed driving scene. The invention further relates to a vehicle, a system and a method.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2017Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignees: TOYOTA MOTOR EUROPE NV/SA, UCL BUSINESS PLCInventors: Jonas Ambeck-Madsen, Ichiro Sakata, Nilli Lavie, Gabriel J.

Patent number: 10062033Abstract: Approaches are described for discovering a formation associated with an agent group engaging in an activity over a window of time. A formation analysis system computes first and second results for an objective function based on first and second sets of role assignments for each agent in the agent group at first and second moments in time, respectively. The formation analysis system iterates by: replacing the first set of role assignments with the second set of role assignments, and determining whether completion criteria have been met based at least in part on comparing the first result with the second result. If the completion criteria have not been met, then the formation analysis system replaces the second set of role assignments with a third set of role assignments that associate each agent in the first agent group with a different role assignment in the third set of role assignments at a third moment in time.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2014Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Lucey, Alina Bialkowski, George Peter Carr, Iain Matthews, Yisong Yue

Patent number: 9740984Abstract: Techniques are described to characterize motion patterns of a group of agents engaging in an activity. An analysis system receives input data associated with spatial and temporal information of at least one element of interest associated with the activity, where the object of interest may be a ball, person, animal or any other object in motion. The analysis system partitions the input data into a plurality of spatiotemporal segments and generates one or more representations of one or more sets of segments of the plurality of spatiotemporal segments based on one or more criteria. The analysis system computes a metric, such as an entropy value, for each of the one or more representations. Partial tracing data, such as ball movements in a sporting event, may be created using an inexpensive input device, such as a tablet computer, making the disclosed techniques available for a wide range of events and activities.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2012Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Lucey, Alina Bialkowski, Iain Matthews, G.

Patent number: 9342785Abstract: Approaches are described for assigning roles to agents in a group of agents engaging in an activity. An assignment analysis system receives a first set of detections, where each detection in the first set of detections comprises a physical location. The assignment analysis system defines an exemplar formation comprising an arrangement of each role in a set of roles. The assignment analysis system calculates a first cost function between at least one detection in the first set of detections and at least one role in the set of roles. The assignment analysis system generates a first set of permutations based on the first cost function. The assignment analysis system assigns a first role in the set of roles to a first detection in the first set of detections based on the first set of permutations.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2013Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Lucey, Alina Bialkowski, G.
