  • Publication number: 20200074589
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, with a computing device, an image, identifying one or more salient features in the image, and generating a saliency map of the image including the one or more salient features. The method further includes sampling the image based on the saliency map such that the one or more salient features are sampled at a first density of sampling and at least one portion of the image other than the one or more salient features are sampled at a second density of sampling, where the first density of sampling is greater than the second density of sampling, and storing the sampled image in a non-transitory computer readable memory.

  • Publication number: 20190188533
    Abstract: A method for pose recognition includes storing parameters for configuration of an automated pose recognition system for detection of a pose of a subject represented in a radio frequency input signal. The parameters having been determined by a first process including accepting training data including a number of images including poses of subjects and a corresponding number of radio frequency signals and executing a parameter training procedure to determine the parameters. The parameter training procedure including, receiving features characterizing the poses in each of the images, and determining the parameters that configure the automated pose recognition system to match the features characterizing the poses from the corresponding radio frequency signals.

  • Publication number: 20190147607
    Abstract: A system for determining the gaze direction of a subject includes a camera, a computing device and a machine-readable instruction set. The camera is positioned in an environment to capture image data of head of a subject. The computing device is communicatively coupled to the camera and the computing device includes a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable memory. The machine-readable instruction set is stored in the non-transitory computer-readable memory and causes the computing device to: receive image data from the camera, analyze the image data using a convolutional neural network trained on an image dataset comprising images of a head of a subject captured from viewpoints distributed around up to 360-degrees of head yaw, and predict a gaze direction vector of the subject based upon a combination of head appearance and eye appearance image data from the image dataset.

  • Patent number: 9754177
    Abstract: One or more aspects of the subject disclosure are directed towards identifying objects within an image via image searching/matching. In one aspect, an image is processed into bounding boxes, with the bounding boxes further processed to each surround a possible object. A sub-image of pixels corresponding to the bounding box is featurized for matching with tagged database images. The information (tags) associated with any matched images is processed to identify/categorize the sub-image and thus the object corresponding thereto.

  • Publication number: 20040268192
    Abstract: Starting from an unlimited number of events or conditions (1), (1′) . . . (1n) together with there respective detectors (2), (2′) . . . (2n) that are combined with a transition detector (3), that relieves information from the “external reactivation pin” (4) and via an external “system control” pin (5). It is possible to watch over both combinational and time events, or to be exact watch over combinational events during execution, and in combination with time dependence generate a flag or signal to register an event, freeze the circuit, communicate that an event has been produced and aid in the identification of the event and the analysis of the system from a graphical or similar user interface.
