Publication number: 20250037503Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing a notification that a person is at a particular location. A method can include accessing a first image of a first face of a first person, the first image captured by a first camera of the first device. The method can further include generating an image cropping comprising a first portion of the first face. The method can further include receiving, from a second device comprising a second camera, a second image comprising a second portion of a second face of a second person, the second camera having a viewable area comprising a particular location associated with the first device. The method can further include determining a score that corresponds to a level of similarity between a first set of characteristics associated with the first portion of the first face and a second set of characteristics associated with the second portion of the second face.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Hendrik Dahlkamp, Vinay Sharma, Nitin Gupta, Floris Chabert, Andrew C.

Publication number: 20250037510Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing a notification indicating an identity of a first person based on face-associated body characteristics. For example, a device performs facial recognition to identify the identity of the first person shown in a first video feed. The device also identifies and stores physical characteristic information of the first person from the first video feed, the stored information associated with the identity of the first person based on the recognized face. Subsequently, the device receives a second video feed showing a second person whose face is determined to not be recognized by the device. The device compares the stored physical characteristic information of the first person with additional physical characteristic information of the second person shown in the second video feed. Based on the comparison, the device provides a notification indicating whether the identity of the second person corresponds to the identity of the first person.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Nitin Gupta, Jingwen Zhu, Jonghoon Jin, Andrew C.

Patent number: 12131583Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing a notification that a person is at a particular location. For example, a resident device may receive from a user device an image that shows a face of a first person, the image being captured by a first camera of the user device. The resident device may also receive, from another device having a second camera, a second image showing a portion of a face of a second person, the second camera having a viewable area showing a particular location. The resident device may determine a score indicating a level of similarity between a first set of characteristics associated with the face of the first person and a second set of characteristics associated with the face of a second person. The resident device may then provide to the user device a notification based on determining the score.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2022Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Hendrik Dahlkamp, Vinay Sharma, Nitin Gupta, Floris Chabert, Andrew C.

Publication number: 20240161308Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for establishing an activity zone within video captured by a camera. A user device may establish an activity zone or an exclusion zone within video representing a physical view captured by the camera. An automatic monitoring system may analyze the video of the camera with respect to the activity zone or exclusion zone and trigger notifications that are associated with a zone so as to limit notifications transmitted to the user device to those notifications that are relevant to the user. With activity or exclusion zones video from a camera may be automatically monitored to reduce a volume of notifications transmitted to the user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2024Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: APPLE INC.Inventors: Sara Bolouki, Yah Yah Cason, Jonghoon Jin, Nils Ängquist, Hendrik Dahlkamp, Patrick L.

Publication number: 20230394953Abstract: Techniques for monitoring an audio stream for triggering events are disclosed, where the triggering events may include a particular sound identified in the audio stream. In addition, the techniques include detecting the particular sound in the audio stream and/or providing an event notification to a user device via a network connection. A user device can request permission to initiate a two-way audio stream between the computing device and the user device. Further, the techniques may include receiving an indication to initiate the two-way audio stream with the user device. In addition, the techniques may include providing an alert that permission has been granted to initiate the two-way audio stream. Also, the device may include initiating the two-way audio stream with the user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Daniel C.

Publication number: 20230013117Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for determining whether to include a bodyprint in a cluster of bodyprints associated with a recognized person. For example, a device performs facial recognition to identify the identity of a first person. The device also identifies and stores physical characteristic information of the first person, the stored information associated with the identity of the first person based on the recognized face. Subsequently, the device receives a second video feed showing an image of a second person whose face is also determined to be recognized by the device. The device then generates a quality score for physical characteristics in the image of the user. The device can then add the image with the physical characteristics to a cluster of images associated with the person if the quality score is above a threshold, or discard the image if not.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Nitin Gupta, Jingwen Zhu, Jonghoon Jin, Andrew C.

Publication number: 20220100989Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for determining the presence of a particular person based on facial characteristics. For example, a device may include a first image in a reference set of images based on determining that a face shown in the first image is not covered by a face covering. A trained model of the device may determine a first set of characteristics from the first image, whereby the trained model is trained utilizing simulated face coverings to match a partially covered face of a particular person with a non-covered face of the particular person. The device may also determine a second set of characteristics associated with a face of a second person based on a second image. The trained model may then determine a score corresponding to a level of similarity between both sets of characteristics, and then determine whether the first person is the second person based on the score.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2021Publication date: March 31, 2022Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jingwen Zhu, Vinay Sharma, Jonghoon Jin, Nitin Gupta, Floris Chabert, Hendrik Dahlkamp, Muriel Nahmani

Patent number: 10185324Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to generating elevation maps. More specifically, data points may be collected by a laser moving along a roadway and used to generate an elevation map of the roadway. The collected data points may be projected onto a two dimensional or “2D” grid. The grid may include a plurality of cells, each cell of the grid representing a geolocated second of the roadway. The data points of each cell may be evaluated to identify an elevation for the particular cell. For example, the data points in a particular cell may be filtered in various ways including occlusion, interpolation from neighboring cells, etc. The minimum value of the remaining data points within each cell may then be used as the elevation for the particular cell, and the elevation of a plurality of cells may be used to generate an elevation map of the roadway.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2017Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Waymo LLCInventors: Christopher Paul Urmson, Andrew Hughes Chatham, Hendrik Dahlkamp, Michael Steven Montemerlo, Jiajun Zhu
