Publication number: 20240119744Abstract: A computing system determines accuracy of sport-related information extracted from a time sequence of digital video frames that represent a sport event, the extracted sport-related information including an attribute that changes over the time sequence. The computing system (a) detects, based on the extracted sport-related information, a pattern of change of the attribute over the time sequence and (b) makes a determination of whether the detected pattern is an expected pattern of change associated with the sport event. If the determination is that the detected pattern is the expected pattern, then, responsive to making the determination, the computing system takes a first action that corresponds to the sport-related information being accurate. Whereas, if the determination is that the detected pattern is not the expected pattern, then, responsive to making the determination, the computing system takes a second action that corresponds to the sport-related information being inaccurate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Jeffrey Scott, Markus Kurt Peter Cremer, Nishit Umesh Parekh, Dewey Ho Lee

Patent number: 8218817Abstract: A visual tracker tracks an object in a sequence of input images. A tracking module detects a location of the object based on a set of weighted blocks representing the object's shape. The tracking module then refines a segmentation of the object from the background image at the detected location. Based on the refined segmentation, the set of weighted blocks are updated. By adaptively encoding appearance and shape into the block configuration, the present invention is able to efficiently and accurately track an object even in the presence of rapid motion that causes large variations in appearance and shape of the object.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2008Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignees: Honda Motor Co.

Patent number: 7499574Abstract: The present invention meets these needs by providing temporal coherency to recognition systems. One embodiment of the present invention comprises a manifold recognition module to use a sequence of images for recognition. A manifold training module receives a plurality of training image sequences (e.g. from a video camera), each training image sequence including an individual in a plurality of poses, and establishes relationships between the images of a training image sequence. A probabilistic identity module receives a sequence of recognition images including a target individual for recognition, and identifies the target individual based on the relationship of training images corresponding to the recognition images. An occlusion module masks occluded portions of an individual's face to prevent distorted identifications.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2003Date of Patent: March 3, 2009Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ming-Hsuan Yang, Jeffrey Ho, Kuang-Chih Lee

Patent number: 7248738Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for clustering images of objects seen from different viewpoints. That is, given an unlabelled set of images of n objects, an unsupervised algorithm groups the images into N disjoint subsets such that each subset only contains images of a single object. The clustering method makes use of a broad geometric framework that exploits the interplay between the geometry of appearance manifolds and the symmetry of the 2D affine group.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2004Date of Patent: July 24, 2007Assignee: Honda Motor Co.Inventors: Jeffrey Ho, Jongwoo Lim, Ming-Hsuan Yang

Patent number: 7103225Abstract: Taking a set of unlabeled images of a collection of objects acquired under different imaging conditions, and decomposing the set into disjoint subsets corresponding to individual objects requires clustering. Appearance-based methods for clustering a set of images of 3-D objects acquired under varying illumination conditions can be based on the concept of illumination cones. A clustering problem is equivalent to finding convex polyhedral cones in the high-dimensional image space. To efficiently determine the conic structures hidden in the image data, the concept of conic affinity can be used which measures the likelihood of a pair of images belonging to the same underlying polyhedral cone. Other algorithms can be based on affinity measure based on image gradient comparisons operating directly on the image gradients by comparing the magnitudes and orientations of the image gradient.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2003Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ming-Hsuan Yang, Jeffrey Ho
