Abstract: Image alignment is achieved by obtaining a fused optical flow based on a global motion estimate and an optical flow estimate. The fused optical flow may be used to warp the first image and/or the second image into aligned features or aligned images. An output image may then be obtained by combining.

Abstract: A threat detection system and method for detecting panic detection in a crowd of people. The threat detection system using software algorithms detect people's movement from video camera scene and video feeds. The system analyses the recent history of the scene to describe features that would be considered common/normal in the scene when enough people are present. The system then uses that baseline information to continually analyze frames with the requisite number of people in a frame and update the baseline features. If the features of the scene change dramatically based on the perceived movement of the people in the scene and meet or exceed the threshold features for movement in enough consecutive frames, then the systems determines that there is panic in the scene.

Abstract: A multi-lane elevated body temperature preventative scanning solution using GigE vision and tracking. This multi-lane solution is used to scan and track movement of people through an elevated body temperature scanning solution. When a person enters the frame, their identity (ID) is tracked within the field of view of the thermal camera in a designated scanning area from there it is monitored through the entry and exit of a premise to acquire a preventative temperature screening. Multiple machine learning and tracking routines are used together in this innovative offering.

Abstract: A first graph which is a flow graph is converted into a second graph using a first algorithm. The second graph, combined with a second algorithm using a dynamic programming recursion, is compared with a video and a best matching thread, with respect to the video, is found through the second graph. The best matching thread may then be used for a user-assistance function. The dynamic programming recursion reduces computational effort needed by the computer performing the matching.

Abstract: A system and method of automated logistical vehicle registration and validation for remote monitoring. Cameras are deployed at the gate to a trucking logistics facility to record detailed information (e.g., license plate, identification info) on vehicles. Alternatively, vehicle and drive identification credentials can be provided by a mobile application from the driver. The cameras are connected to a data center hosting the automated logistical vehicle registration and validation system. Cameras are placed around the entry gate of a facility that takes snapshots of vehicles “checking in”. The system takes this info with assistance from artificial algorithms to read data and images (e.g., photos) to compare and verify the info. Recommendations are then sent to a guard to approve entry of the vehicle.

Abstract: A system and method for more accurate recognition of adherence to social distancing regulations in image data. A curated dataset of surveillance footage is used that shows people at a variety of angles at a wide variety of distances. The videos of this dataset are annotated and a second, numeric dataset is created as input into various classical machine learning models. The trained model is tested on more annotated data and shows a noticeable improvement over the other attempted methods. The resulting analytics allows for accurate distinction between pairs of people that are at least 6 feet apart and pairs of people that are not. This method utilizes a random forest machine learning model to improve on the Euclidean method that measures distance between human detection centroids in the 2-dimensional target image.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a threat detection system that shows a user an incident as it develops in real time by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to more accurately focus cameras and highlight the areas of concern within those feeds, providing a much more efficient user interface to the operator. These annotated feeds and feed focused triggering events can also be connected to third party systems. This timeline of events and evidence (small annotated clip of detection when available) is archived and can be reviewed at a later date, containing an accurate timeline of the incident as it progressed.
