  • Patent number: 10345800
    Abstract: Monitoring of a machine is performed by an acoustic monitor which acquires, through an acoustic sensor, acoustic signals from a vicinity of a machine, while the machine is operative. A processor calculates a frequency spectrum of a segment of the acquired acoustic signals, determines boundaries of a frequency band to be analyzed and extracts, from the calculated frequency spectrum, a base frequency window in the determined boundaries, and one or more harmonics windows of harmonics of the determined boundaries. For each of the base and harmonic windows a weight based on a distribution of values of frequencies in the windows is determined and a parameter of operation of the machine is calculated as a function of a weighted sum of the base and harmonic windows. The operation of the machine is evaluated responsive to the calculated parameter.

  • Publication number: 20160343145
    Abstract: The invention provides a system method for object detection and tracking in a video stream. Frames of the video stream are divided into regions of interest and a probability is calculated for each region of interest that the region contains at least a portion of an object to be tracked. The regions of interest in each frame are then classified based on the calculated probabilities. A region of interest (RI) frame is then constructed for each video frame that reports the classification of regions of interest in the video frame. Two or more RI frames are then compared in order to determine a motion of the object. The invention also provides a system executing the method of the invention, as well as a device comprising the system. The device may be for example, a portable computer, a mobile telephone, or an entertainment device.
