Patent number: 11914483Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using an algorithm and data structure for efficient and accurate classification of data items into recovery classes. When a target recovery time (TRT) is specified for a data set, a system may obtain version metadata regarding data items in the data set. The metadata may be obtained in reverse chronological order such that the latest record representing a version or other storage operation is first, followed by the second latest record, and so on. The system may use a bidirectional doubly linked list to efficiently store version data for a particular data item in memory. As version metadata records are read and added to the data structure in reverse chronological order, classification determinations may be triggered when certain conditions are met.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Koushik Biswas, James William Fogel, Dhananjay Baburao Karanjkar, Douglas John Youd, Allistaire Mair, James Ryan Powers

Patent number: 10956784Abstract: An image creation and editing tool can use the data produced from training a neural network to add stylized representations of an object to an image. An object classification will correspond to an object representation, and pixel values for the object representation can be added to, or blended with, the pixel values of an image in order to add a visualization of a type of object to the image. Such an approach can be used to add stylized representations of objects to existing images or create new images based on those representations. The visualizations can be used to create patterns and textures as well, as may be used to paint or fill various regions of an image. Such patterns can enable regions to be filled where image data has been deleted, such as to remove an undesired object, in a way that appears natural for the contents of the image.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2018Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: A9.COM, INC.Inventors: Douglas Ryan Gray, Alexander Li Honda, Edward Hsiao

Patent number: 10664140Abstract: A user can select an object represented in video content in order to set a magnification level with respect to that object. A portion of the video frames containing a representation of the object is selected to maintain a presentation size of the representation corresponding to the magnification level. The selection provides for a “smart zoom” feature enabling an object of interest, such as a face of an actor, to be used in selecting an appropriate portion of each frame to magnify, such that the magnification results in a portion of the frame being selected that includes the one or more objects of interest to the user. Pre-generated tracking data can be provided for some objects, which can enable a user to select an object and then have predetermined portion selections and magnifications applied that can provide for a smoother user experience than for dynamically-determined data.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2017Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Charles Benjamin Franklin Waggoner, Colin Jon Taylor, Jeffrey P.

Patent number: 10540378Abstract: Approaches provide for analyzing image data to determine and/or recognize text in the image data. The recognized text can be used to generate a search query that can be automatically submitted to a search engine without having to type the search query to identify a product (or related products) associated with the image. For example, a camera of a computing device can be used to capture a live camera view (or single images) an item. An application executing on the computing device (or at least in communication with the computing device) can analyze the image data of the live camera view to determine a set of keywords (e.g., identified text) based on visual features extracted from the image data. The keywords can be used to query an index of product titles, common search queries, among other indexed data to return a ranked list of search suggestions based on a relevance function.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2016Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: A9.com, Inc.Inventors: Edward Hsiao, Douglas Ryan Gray, Nityananda Jayadevaprakash, Xiaofan Lin, Mark Jay Nitzberg, Shruti Sheorey

Patent number: 10528821Abstract: A video segmentation system can be utilized to automate segmentation of digital video content. Features corresponding to visual, audio, and/or textual content of the video can be extracted from frames of the video. The extracted features of adjacent frames are compared according to a similarity measure to determine boundaries of a first set of shots or video segments distinguished by abrupt transitions. The first set of shots is analyzed according to certain heuristics to recognize a second set of shots distinguished by gradual transitions. Key frames can be extracted from the first and second set of shots, and the key frames can be used by the video segmentation system to group the first and second set of shots by scene. Additional processing can be performed to associate metadata, such as names of actors or titles of songs, with the detected scenes.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2017Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Adam Carlson, Douglas Ryan Gray, Ashutosh Vishwas Kulkarni, Colin Jon Taylor
