  • Publication number: 20160189010
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can identify a set of regions corresponding to a geographical area. A collection of training images can be acquired. Each training image in the collection can be associated with one or more respective recognized objects and with a respective region in the set of regions. Histogram metrics for a plurality of object categories within each region in the set of regions can be determined based at least in part on the collection of training images. A neural network can be developed based at least in part on the histogram metrics for the plurality of object categories within each region in the set of regions and on the collection of training images.

  • Publication number: 20160189009
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can acquire video content for which video feature descriptors are to be determined. The video content can be processed based at least in part on a convolutional neural network including a set of two-dimensional convolutional layers and a set of three-dimensional convolutional layers. One or more outputs can be generated from the convolutional neural network. A plurality of video feature descriptors for the video content can be determined based at least in part on the one or more outputs from the convolutional neural network.

  • Publication number: 20160180183
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive a first image including a representation of a first user. A second image including a representation of a second user can be received. A first set of poselets associated with the first user can be detected in the first image. A second set of poselets associated with the second user can be detected in the second image. The first image including the first set of poselets can be inputted into a first instance of a neural network to generate a first multi-dimensional vector. The second image including the second set of poselets can be inputted into a second instance of the neural network to generate a second multi-dimensional vector. A first distance metric between the first multi-dimensional vector and the second multi-dimensional vector can be determined.

  • Publication number: 20160180243
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure include systems, methods, and non-transitory computer storage media configured to identify a set of training content items, each of the set of training content items comprising video content. A category may be assigned to each of the set of training content items. A plurality of variations may be provided to the each of the set of training content items. A first content recognition module may be trained in an unsupervised process to associate the plurality of variations of the each of the set of training content items with the category assigned to the each of the set of training content items. A classification layer may be generated based on the training the first content recognition module in the unsupervised process. A second content recognition module may be trained in a supervised process based on the classification layer.

  • Publication number: 20150379357
    Abstract: Local models learned from anomaly detection are used to rank detected anomalies. The local models include image feature values extracted from an image field of video image data with respect to different predefined spatial and temporal local units, wherein anomaly results are determined by failures to fit to applied anomaly detection module local models. Image features values extracted from the image field local units associated with anomaly results are normalized, and image feature values extracted from the image field local units are clustered. Weights for anomaly results are learned as a function of the relations of the normalized extracted image feature values to the clustered image feature values. The normalized values are multiplied by the learned weights to generate ranking values to rank the anomalies.

  • Publication number: 20150036919
    Abstract: A sample set of images is received. Each image in the sample set may be associated with one or more social cues. Correlation of each image in the sample set with an image class is scored based on the one or more social cues associated with the image. Based on the scoring, a training set of images to train a classifier is determined from the sample set. In an embodiment, an extent to which an evaluation set of images correlates with the image class is determined. The determination may comprise ranking a top scoring subset of the evaluation set of images.

  • Patent number: 8724904
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for detecting anomalies in an image. In an example embodiment the method includes partitioning each image of a set of images into a plurality of image local units. The method further includes clustering all local units in the image set into clusters, and consequently assigning a class label to each local unit based on the clustering results. The local units with identical class labels having at least one substantially related image feature. Further, the method includes assigning a weight to each of the local units based on a variation of the class labels across all images in a set of images. The method further includes performing a clustering over all images in the set by using a distance metric that takes the learned weight of each local unit into account, then determining the images that belong to minorities of the clusters as anomalies.

  • Patent number: 8660368
    Abstract: A trajectory of movement of an object is tracked in a video data image field that is partitioned into a plurality of different grids. Global image features from video data relative to the trajectory are extracted and compared to a learned trajectory model to generate a global anomaly detection confidence decision value as a function of fitting to the learned trajectory model. Local image features are also extracted for each of the image field grids that include object trajectory, which are compared to learned feature models for the grids to generate local anomaly detection confidence decisions for each grid as a function of fitting to the learned feature models for the grids. The global anomaly detection confidence decision value and the local anomaly detection confidence decision values for the grids are into a fused anomaly decision with respect to the tracked object.
