  • Patent number: 11830517
    Abstract: A system for intelligent acoustic monitoring. The system includes a microphone to capture environmental acoustic data and a processor coupled to the microphone. The processor is configured to receive and perform acoustic analysis on the captured acoustic data to generate an acoustic signature, based on a result of the acoustic analysis, identify an event indicated by the acoustic signature, and perform a remedial action based on the identified event.

  • Patent number: 10235344
    Abstract: A rank-based score normalization framework that partitions matching scores into subsets and normalize each subset independently. Methods include implementing two versions of the framework: (i) using gallery-based information (i.e., gallery versus galleryscores), and (ii) updating available information in an online fashion. The methods improve the detection and identification rate from 20:90% up to 35:77% for Z-score and from 25:47% up to 30:29% for W-score.

  • Patent number: 8090160
    Abstract: A novel method and system for 3d-aided-2D face recognition under large pose and illumination variations is disclosed. The method and system includes enrolling a face of a subject into a gallery database using raw 3D data. The method also includes verifying and/or identifying a target face form data produced by a 2D imagining or scanning device. A statistically derived annotated face model is fitted using a subdivision-based deformable model framework to the raw 3D data. The annotated face model is capable of being smoothly deformed into any face so it acts as a universal facial template. During authentication or identification, only a single 2D image is required. The subject specific fitted annotated face model from the gallery is used to lift a texture of a face from a 2D probe image, and a bidirectional relighting algorithm is employed to change the illumination of the gallery texture to match that of the probe.

  • Patent number: 7512255
    Abstract: A method for identifying an individual includes the steps of collecting data from an individual's face using visible and infrared cameras, processing the acquired data, fitting a geometric model template of the face to the data according to a mathematical method, processing the fitted model to extract relevant first metadata, storing the first metadata in a machine readable format, and comparing second metadata to the first metadata, to determine their degree of similarity in order to identify the individual.

  • Patent number: 7272265
    Abstract: A method for padding, filtering, denoising, image enhancing and increased time-frequency acquisition is described for digitized data of a data set is described where unknown data is estimated using real data by adding unknown data points in a manner that the padding routine can estimate the interior data set including known and unknown data to a given accuracy on the known data points. The method also provides filtering using non-interpolating, well-tempered distributed approximating functional (NIDAF)-low-band-pass filters. The method also provides for symmetric and/or anti-symmetric extension of the data set so that the data set may be better refined and can be filtered by Fourier and other type of low frequency or harmonic filters.
