Patent number: 10592744Abstract: A system and method is provided for determining the location of a device based on image of objects captured by the device. In one aspect, an interior space includes a plurality of objects having discernable visual characteristics disposed throughout the space. The device captures an image containing one or more of the objects and identifies the portions of the image associated with the objects based on the visual characteristics. The visual appearance of the objects may also be used to determine the distance of the object to other objects or relative to a reference point. Based on the foregoing and the size and shape of the image portion occupied by the object, such as the height of an edge or its surface area, relative to another object or a reference, the device may calculate its location.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2018Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Ehud Rivlin, Brian McClendon, Jean-Yves Bouguet

Patent number: 9400921Abstract: A method and system using a data-driven model for monocular face tracking are disclosed, which provide a versatile system for tracking three-dimensional (3D) images, e.g., a face, using a single camera. For one method, stereo data based on input image sequences is obtained. A 3D model is built using the obtained stereo data. A monocular image sequence is tracked using the built 3D model. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) can be applied to the stereo data to learn, e.g., possible facial deformations, and to build a data-driven 3D model (“3D face model”). The 3D face model can be used to approximate a generic shape (e.g., facial pose) as a linear combination of shape basis vectors based on the PCA analysis.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2001Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Jean-Yves Bouguet, Radek Grzeszczuk, Salih Gokturk

Patent number: 8565537Abstract: A processing system may receive an example image for use in querying a collection of digital images. The processing system may use local and global feature descriptors to perform a content-based image comparison of the digital images with the example image, to automatically rank the digital images with respect to similarity to the example image. A local feature descriptor may represent a portion of the contents of a digital image. A global feature descriptor may represent substantially all of the contents of that digital image. The global feature descriptor may be content based, not keyword based. Intermediate and final classifiers may be used to perform the automatic ranking. Different intermediate classifiers may generate intermediate relevance metrics with respect to different modalities. The final classifier may use results from the intermediate classifiers to produce a final relevance metric for the digital images. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2012Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Jean-Yves Bouguet, Carole Dulong, Igor V.

Patent number: 8200027Abstract: An image retrieval program (IRP) may be used to query a collection of digital images. The IRP may include a mining module to use local and global feature descriptors to automatically rank the digital images in the collection with respect to similarity to a user-selected positive example. Each local feature descriptor may represent a portion of an image based on a division of that image into multiple portions. Each global feature descriptor may represent an image as a whole. A user interface module of the IRP may receive input that identifies an image as the positive example. The user interface module may also present images from the collection in a user interface in a ranked order with respect to similarity to the positive example, based on results of the mining module. Query concepts may be saved and reused. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2010Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Jean-Yves Bouguet, Carole Dulong, Igor V.
