  • Publication number: 20260162272
    Abstract: A device may receive video data that includes video frames depicting monocular frontal views, and may select a reference video frame and a target video frame from the video data. The device may process the reference video frame, with a bird's eye view (BEV) model, to generate a rendered semantic segmentation and a BEV prediction, and may sample class probability values from the BEV prediction. The device may process the target video frame, with a geometry model, to generate densities, and may generate a target semantic segmentation based on the class probability values and the densities. The device may calculate a cross-entropy loss based on the rendered semantic segmentation and the target semantic segmentation, and may train the BEV model, with the cross-entropy loss, in order to generate a trained BEV model.

  • Patent number: 12572591
    Abstract: A device may receive a query identifying one or more events to be captured by a camera associated with a vehicle, video data associated with the vehicle, and location data associated with the vehicle, and may generate a prompt requesting captions of video frames included in the video data. The device may process the video data, with a large language model and based on the prompt, to generate the captions of the video frames included in the video data, and may process the query and the captions, with a phrase model, to determine categories of words provided in the query and the captions. The device may calculate matching scores between the query and the captions based on the categories of words and a dictionary of words, and may identify an event based on the matching scores. The device may perform one or more actions based on the event.

  • Publication number: 20260038265
    Abstract: A device may receive video data associated with a vehicle experiencing an event, and may utilize an object detection model and an object tracking model to determine object data identifying bounding boxes, tracks, and classes for objects depicted in the video data. The device may process the object data, with an object backbone of a spatiotemporal multi-modal (ST-MM) neural network model, to determine object features associated with dynamics of the objects depicted in the video data, and may determine vehicle features associated with dynamics of the vehicle. The device may process the object features and the vehicle features, with a recurrent neural network of the ST-MM neural network model, to classify the event into a category, and may perform one or more actions based on the category of the event.

  • Publication number: 20250180362
    Abstract: A device may receive, from a first device, first tracking data that includes first temporal data and first location data, and may receive, from a second device, second tracking data that includes second temporal data and second location data. The device may generate a first spatio-temporal object based on the first tracking data, and may generate a second spatio-temporal object based on the second tracking data. The device may calculate a matching score associated with the first spatio-temporal object and the second spatio-temporal object, and may determine whether the matching score satisfies a score threshold. The device may determine that the first device is associated with the second device based on determining that the matching score satisfies the score threshold, and may perform one or more actions based on determining that the first device is associated with the second device.
