  • Publication number: 20250342720
    Abstract: The system receives a visual representation of a scene, and without isolating an individual in the visual representation, provides the visual representation to an image feature extraction component. The system obtains from the image feature extraction component an image embedding vector representing the visual representation without isolating a single individual. The system obtains from a database a second whole-image embedding representation associated with a unique user identifier representing a user. The system determines whether the first whole-image embedding representation matches the second whole-image embedding representation. Upon determining that the first whole-image embedding representation matches the second whole-image embedding representation, the system generates an indication that the user is included in the visual representation.

  • Publication number: 20250342727
    Abstract: The system receives data indicating an individual and processes the data to isolate the individual and to enhance data quality. The system extracts a first multiplicity of key features of the data, which tend to uniquely identify the individual. The system compares, using artificial intelligence, the first multiplicity of key features associated with the data to a second multiplicity of key features associated with a user to determine whether the data indicates the user. Upon determining that the data indicates the user, the system retrieves from a datastore a rule associated with the second multiplicity of key features and determines whether the rule permits use of the data indicating the individual. Upon determining that the rule associated with the second multiplicity of key features does not permit use of the data indicating the individual, the system sends an indication that the rule does not permit the use.

  • Publication number: 20250342721
    Abstract: The system obtains a first image including a first individual and an indication that the first individual can be identified in the first image. Upon obtaining the indication, the system processes the first image using a first component and obtains a first identity embedding. The system obtains a second image including a second individual and other objects without obtaining an indication that the second individual can be identified. Upon obtaining the indication, the system provides the second image to a second component and obtains a first WIER representing the second image without isolating the second individual. The system provides the first identity embedding to a third component configured to convert the first identity embedding into a second WIER. The system determines whether the second image includes the first individual by determining whether the first and the second WIER match.
