  • Patent number: 11947591
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to processing imagery using one or more machine learning (ML) models. In particular, data describing imagery comprising a plurality of different and distinct frames can be received; and based at least in part on one or more ML models and the data describing the imagery, and for each frame of the plurality of different and distinct frames, one or more scores can be determined for the frame. Each score of the score(s) can indicate a determined measure of suitability of the frame with respect to one or more of various different and distinct uses for which the ML model(s) are configured to determine suitability of imagery.

  • Publication number: 20240104135
    Abstract: A system and method of identifying objects is provided. In one aspect, the system and method includes a hand-held device with a display, camera and processor. As the camera captures images and displays them on the display, the processor compares the information retrieved in connection with one image with information retrieved in connection with subsequent images. The processor uses the result of such comparison to determine the object that is likely to be of greatest interest to the user. The display simultaneously displays the images the images as they are captured, the location of the object in an image, and information retrieved for the object.

  • Publication number: 20230316793
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for efficient image analysis. In some aspects, a system includes a camera configured to capture images, one or more environment sensors configured to detect movement of the camera, a data processing apparatus, and a memory storage apparatus in data communication with the data processing apparatus. The data processing apparatus can access, for each of a multitude of images captured by a mobile device camera, data indicative of movement of the camera at a time at which the camera captured the image. The data processing apparatus can also select, from the images, a particular image for analysis based on the data indicative of the movement of the camera for each image, analyze the particular image to recognize one or more objects depicted in the particular image, and present content related to the one or more recognized objects.

  • Patent number: 11074504
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for instance segmentation. In one aspect, a system generates: (i) data identifying one or more regions of the image, wherein an object is depicted in each region, (ii) for each region, a predicted type of object that is depicted in the region, and (iii) feature channels comprising a plurality of semantic channels and one or more direction channels. The system generates a region descriptor for each of the one or more regions, and provides the region descriptor for each of the one or more regions to a segmentation neural network that processes a region descriptor for a region to generate a predicted segmentation of the predicted type of object depicted in the region.
