  • Patent number: 11334216
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are provided for visually presenting geospatial information. An information request for an area may be received. The area may include one or more predefined regions. The predefined region(s) may be subdivided into one or more levels of predefined sub-regions. Information for the area may be accessed. The information for the area may include region information for the predefined region(s) or sub-region information for the predefined sub-regions. A response to the information request may be determined based on the region information or the sub-region information. The response may enable a visual presentation of (1) the information for the area, and (2) one or more geographical boundaries corresponding to the area.

  • Publication number: 20220130123
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method comprises obtaining a video stream of a portion of a geographic area, the video stream comprising a plurality of video frames, each of the plurality of video frames captured at a respective first time. Contextual metadata is obtained, the contextual metadata associated with one or more objects located in the portion of the geographic area at a second time, the second time being before each of the respective first times. The contextual metadata is inserted into one or more of the plurality of video frames, thereby causing the contextual metadata associated with the one or more objects to be overlaid on one or more corresponding portions of the one or more of the plurality of video frames.

  • Publication number: 20220074754
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media configured to display a geographical map overlaid with a marker layer comprising at least one marker; receive input from a user to change a zoom level of the geographical map from a first map scale to a second map scale; display the geographical map at the second map scale; and overlay the marker layer at the second map scale with the at least one marker at a second marker size. The second marker size is determined based on a correlation between the second map scale and the second marker size, in which (i) the second marker size is increased or decreased in the same direction as the second map scale when the second map scale is within a range from a low threshold point to a high threshold point, and (ii) a ratio change between two adjacent marker sizes is smaller than a ratio change between two corresponding adjacent map scales when the second marker size is outside the range from the low threshold point to the high threshold point.

  • Publication number: 20220067448
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for validating or rejecting automated detections of an entity being tracked within an environment in order to generate a track representative of a travel path of the entity within the environment. The automated detections of the entity may be generated by an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm. The track may represent a travel path of the tracked entity across a set of image frames. The track may contain one or more tracklets, where each tracklet includes a set of validated detections of the entity across a subset of the set of image frames and excludes any rejected detections of the entity. Each tracklet may also contain one or more user-provided detections in scenarios in which the tracked entity is observed or otherwise known to be present in an image frame but automated detection of the entity did not occur.

  • Publication number: 20210382885
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for collaborating with different object models. Data corresponding to one or more source objects is received. The source objects is stored in a first object model, and each of the source objects is associated with information describing an entity. Matches between the respective information associated with the one or more source objects and respective information associated with one or more target objects are determined based on a query. The target objects are stored in a second object model. The one or more source objects are ranked based at least in part on the matches. A list of the ranked source objects are provided through an interface, the interface indicating a number of matching target objects for each of the source objects.

  • Publication number: 20210365575
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for sharing maps in a collaborative environment using classification-based access control. The generation of and dissemination of maps and/or data within such maps can be governed by classification-based access control, where a user's classification level can determine whether or not maps and/or data within those maps can be seen. In scenarios whether a plurality of users wishes to collaborate on the same map, the systems and methods provided herein generate multiple versions or views of the same map in accordance with different classification levels. In this way, users with different classification levels can nevertheless see the same map and engage in collaborations regarding the same map, while maintaining control of sensitive data.

  • Publication number: 20210365428
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for integrated data analysis. At least one object that is responsive to a first search query is determined. The object is stored in an object model that is managed by a first computing platform, and the at least one object is associated with one or more properties. One or more data sets that are responsive to a second search query are determined. The data sets are managed by a second computing platform. The one or more data sets are determined related to the at least one object. The at least one object is updated to include at least one property that references at least one analysis that relies on the one or more data sets.

  • Publication number: 20210333985
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for production and display of map based slide presentations. The system may provide a map of a geographic region via a map interface and select a portion of the geographic region for creation of a slide. The slide may be created to incorporate all of the data within the selected portion and may be part of a series of slides in a presentation. The user may further provide access controls to data aspects within the slide and the system may use the access controls to regulate display of the slide.

  • Publication number: 20210272234
    Abstract: A geospatial mapping system can access a geospatial layer data set for a first geographic area defined by a first presentation level, and provide the geospatial layer data set for the first geographic area to a client device to present a visual rendering of the first geographic area. The geospatial mapping system can receive a request to utilize an advanced feature set on a subset of geospatial artifacts located within the first geographic area, and promote, to the geospatial layer data set, an additional geospatial artifact data set for the subset of geospatial artifacts, yielding an updated geospatial layer data set for the first geographic area. The geospatial mapping system can provide the updated geospatial layer data set to the client device to provide the advanced feature set for interacting with the subset of geospatial artifacts located within the first geographic area.
