Patent number: 9495591Abstract: Methods, systems and articles of manufacture for recognizing and locating one or more objects in a scene are disclosed. An image and/or video of the scene are captured. Using audio recorded at the scene, an object search of the captured scene is narrowed down. For example, the direction of arrival (DOA) of a sound can be determined and used to limit the search area in a captured image/video. In another example, keypoint signatures may be selected based on types of sounds identified in the recorded audio. A keypoint signature corresponds to a particular object that the system is configured to recognize. Objects in the scene may then be recognized using a shift invariant feature transform (SIFT) analysis comparing keypoints identified in the captured scene to the selected keypoint signatures.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2012Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Erik Visser, Haiyin Wang, Hasib A. Siddiqui, Lae-Hoon Kim

Patent number: 8837576Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for improving functionalities of a back-end device, e.g., a video encoder, using parameters detected by a front-end device, e.g., a video camera. The techniques may involve detecting a scene change in a captured frame, based on one or more parameters of auto exposure (AE), auto white balance (AWB), and auto focus (AF) functions. If a scene change is detected in a captured frame, a video processing device, which may be a stand-alone device, or may be integrated into one of the front-end or back-end devices, provides an indication of the scene change. The video encoder interprets the signal as a trigger to encode the frame indicated as the frame where a scene change occurred as a reference I frame.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2010Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Liang Liang, Szepo R. Hung, Ruben M. Velarde, Ying X. Noyes, Haiyin Wang

Patent number: 8773577Abstract: An example image capture device determines a region of interest using a first image captured while a light source is powered off and a second image captured while a light source is powered on and uses the region of interest to automatically set configurations. In one example, an image capture device includes a controlled light source, an image sensor configured to capture images, and a processing unit configured to cause the image sensor to capture a first image of a scene while the controlled light source is powered off, cause the image sensor to capture a second image of the scene while the controlled light source is powered on, calculate luminance differences between a plurality of regions in the first image and a plurality of collocated regions in the second image, and determine that a region of interest includes those regions for which the luminance differences exceed a threshold.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2010Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Ruben M.

Publication number: 20120329674Abstract: The present invention provides for rapid and large scale evaluation of expression of, or function of, nucleotide sequences in plants. The invention comprises three specific components which provide for fast and large scale evaluation of nucleotide sequences. The first component includes delivery in either a single event a library of different engineered vectors or a single engineered vector for a single target nucleotide sequence comprising sequences the function of which is desired to be known in plant cells. Surprisingly, applicants have discovered that, the introduction of multiple vectors to plant cells predominantly results in individual transgenic plants which contain only a single transformation event. The second feature of the invention involves a highly transformable, fast cycling and/or miniature size plant and the final step involves mass scale analysis of T0 plants for various phenotypes and plasmid rescue to identify the nucleotide sequence present in a particular phenotype.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2011Publication date: December 27, 2012Applicant: PIONEER HI BRED INTERNATIONAL INCInventors: Marc C.
