  • Patent number: 11738464
    Abstract: A method of calibrating a system including a camera, the method including detecting a robot navigating within an environment modeled as a geo-polygon space, including a transit of the robot through a scene of the environment captured by the camera, mapping a plurality of points occupied by the robot in images of the scene to the geo-polygon space, recording data about the mapping, and configuring at least one alert using the data recorded about the mapping, the alert executed by the computing system and configured to be triggered by an object transiting the scene.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11468617
    Abstract: Selectively redacting an image by determining a set of attributes used by a machine learning model for an analysis, receiving image data detecting, by the one or more computer processors, a portion of the image data relevant to the analysis, the portion comprising at least some of the set of attributes, generating a synthetic portion from the portion, wherein the synthetic portion retains at least some of the attributes of the detected portion, replacing the portion with the synthetic portion, yielding redacted image data, and providing the redacted image data for analysis.

  • Patent number: 8538242
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer programs for processing recorded digital video content in massively parallel computing networks. In one embodiment, a disclosed method of processing recorded digital video content includes receiving a video clip, dividing the video clip into a plurality of video clip segments, and scheduling each video clip segment for processing. The method further includes time stamping each of the video clip segments with an appropriate time offset, determining an available analytics engine and an available ingestion engine from a set of analytics engines and ingestion engines in a massively parallel computing network, and commanding said available analytics engine and said available ingestion engine to, respectively, analyze and ingest a specific video clip segment using at least in part the time offset to index metadata generated by the analytics engine and ingestion engine.

  • Patent number: 6871232
    Abstract: A method and system of provisioning resources from a central location via a third party resource provisioning management (RPM) service provider. Various levels of provisioning may be obtained. Organizations may obtain resource provisioning from a third party RPM resource provider using a third party server. At an affiliate level, various resource vendors may be part of a resource exchange, sharing resources with other affiliates within the exchange. At a public provisioning infrastructure level, an individual organization may obtain access to resources within the infrastructure, subject to receipt of a provisioning ticket and appropriate identity authentication.
