Publication number: 20230377340Abstract: An object recognition ingestion system is presented. The object ingestion system captures image data of objects, possibly in an uncontrolled setting. The image data is analyzed to determine if one or more a priori know canonical shape objects match the object represented in the image data. The canonical shape object also includes one or more reference PoVs indicating perspectives from which to analyze objects having the corresponding shape. An object ingestion engine combines the canonical shape object along with the image data to create a model of the object. The engine generates a desirable set of model PoVs from the reference PoVs, and then generates recognition descriptors from each of the model PoVs. The descriptors, image data, model PoVs, or other contextually relevant information are combined into key frame bundles having sufficient information to allow other computing devices to recognize the object at a later time.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: Nant Holdings IP, LLCInventors: Kamil Wnuk, David McKinnon, Jeremi Sudol, Bing Song, Matheen Siddiqui

Patent number: 11188786Abstract: A sensor data processing system and method is described. Contemplated systems and methods derive a first recognition trait of an object from a first data set that represents the object in a first environmental state. A second recognition trait of the object is then derived from a second data set that represents the object in a second environmental state. The sensor data processing systems and methods then identifies a mapping of elements of the first and second recognition traits in a new representation space. The mapping of elements satisfies a variance criterion for corresponding elements, which allows the mapping to be used for object recognition. The sensor data processing systems and methods described herein provide new object recognition techniques that are computationally efficient and can be performed in real-time by the mobile phone technology that is currently available.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2019Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Nant Holdings IP, LLCInventors: Kamil Wnuk, Jeremi Sudol, Bing Song, Matheen Siddiqui, David McKinnon

Publication number: 20200301502Abstract: Multiparty object recognition systems and methods are disclosed. A method of interactively manipulating virtual object data, wherein an object database is configured to store first party object data that corresponds to a first real-world object and is further configured to store second party object data that corresponds to a second real-world object, includes obtaining the first party object data and the second party object data for storage within the object database. Access to the object database is controlled such that the first party object data and the second party object data is accessible to the first party and the second party. Modification of the first party object data by the second party is facilitated to generate modified first party object data that is in accordance with at least one context parameter of the second party object data, and the modified first party object data is communicated to the first party.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2020Publication date: September 24, 2020Applicant: Nant Holdings IP, LLCInventors: Bing Song, John Wiacek, David McKinnon, Matheen Siddiqui

Patent number: 10628673Abstract: Systems and methods of quickly recognizing or differentiating many objects are presented. Contemplated systems include an object model database storing recognition models associated with known modeled objects. The object identifiers can be indexed in the object model database based on recognition features derived from key frames of the modeled object. Such objects are recognized by a recognition engine at a later time. The recognition engine can construct a recognition strategy based on a current context where the recognition strategy includes rules for executing one or more recognition algorithms on a digital representation of a scene. The recognition engine can recognize an object from the object model database, and then attempt to identify key frame bundles that are contextually relevant, which can then be used to track the object or to query a content database for content information.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2018Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: Nant Holdings IP, LLCInventors: Kamil Wnuk, Bing Song, Matheen Siddiqui, David McKinnon, Jeremi Sudol, Patrick Soon-Shiong, Orang Dialameh
