  • Distributed target tracking using self localizing smart camera networks
    Patent number: 9449233
    Abstract: A plurality of camera devices are configured to localize one another based on visibility of each neighboring camera in an image plane. Each camera device captures images and identifies sightings of candidate targets. The camera device share information about sightings and triangulate positions of targets. Targets are matched to known tracks based on prior images, allowing targets to be tracked in a 3D environment.
    Type: Grant

  • Scene analysis using image and range data
    Patent number: 8867793
    Abstract: Image and range data associated with an image can be processed to estimate planes within the 3D environment in the image. By utilizing image segmentation techniques, image data can identify regions of visible pixels having common features. These regions can be used to candidate regions for fitting planes to the range data based on a RANSAC technique.

  • IMAGE SEGMENTATION FOR DISTRIBUTED TARGET TRACKING AND SCENE ANALYSIS
    Publication number: 20120250984
    Abstract: Pixels in a feature space can be divided using a hashing method. Random planes are selected within a feature space and a pixel's relationship to each plane determines a bit of a hash code. Clusters of pixels can be identified by local maxima in the hash cells in the feature space. Nearby pixels in the feature space can be further assigned to these local maxima based on hamming distance. An image can be segmented by observing adjacent pixels sharing a common hash code.
