Patent number: 11935303Abstract: A threat detection system and method for detecting panic detection in a crowd of people. The threat detection system using software algorithms detect people's movement from video camera scene and video feeds. The system analyses the recent history of the scene to describe features that would be considered common/normal in the scene when enough people are present. The system then uses that baseline information to continually analyze frames with the requisite number of people in a frame and update the baseline features. If the features of the scene change dramatically based on the perceived movement of the people in the scene and meet or exceed the threshold features for movement in enough consecutive frames, then the systems determines that there is panic in the scene.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Inventors: Junaid Iqbal, James Allan Douglas Cameron, Phil Konrad Munz

Publication number: 20240062492Abstract: The disclosed artificial reality system can provide a user self representation in an artificial reality environment based on a self portion from an image of the user. The artificial reality system can generate the self representation by applying a machine learning model to classify the self portion of the image. The machine learning model can be trained to identify self portions in images based on a set of training images, with portions tagged as either depicting a user from a self-perspective or not. The artificial reality system can display the self portion as a self representation in the artificial reality environment by positioning them in the artificial reality environment relative to the user's perspective in the artificial reality environment. The artificial reality system can also identify movements of the user and can adjust the self representation to match the user's movement, providing more accurate self representations.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: James Allan BOOTH, Mahdi SALMANI RAHIMI, Gioacchino NORIS

Publication number: 20240046590Abstract: A mixed reality (MR) simulation system includes a console and a head mounted device (HMD). The MR system captures stereoscopic images from a real-world environment using outward-facing stereoscopic cameras mounted to the HMD. The MR system preprocesses the stereoscopic images to maximize contrast and then extracts a set of features from those images, including edges or corners, among others. For each feature, the MR system generates one or more two-dimensional (2D) polylines. Then, the MR system triangulates between 2D polylines found in right side images and corresponding 2D polylines found in left side images to generate a set of 3D polylines. The MR system interpolates between 3D vertices included in the 3D polylines or extrapolates additional 3D vertices, thereby generating a geometric reconstruction of the real-world environment. The MR system may map textures derived from the real-world environment onto the geometric representation faster than the geometric reconstruction is updated.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: James Allan BOOTH, Gaurav CHAURASIA, Alexandru-Eugen ICHIM, Alex LOCHER, Gioacchino NORIS, Alexander Sorkine HORNUNG, Manuel WERLBERGER
