  • Patent number: 12169783
    Abstract: This application relates to the field of artificial intelligence and the field of computer vision. The method includes performing feature extraction on an image to obtain a basic feature map of the image, and determining a proposal of a region possibly including a pedestrian in the image. The basic feature map of the image is then processed to obtain an object visibility map in which a response to a pedestrian visible part is greater than a response to a pedestrian blocked part and a background part. The method further performs weighted summation processing on the object visibility map and the basic feature map to obtain an enhanced feature map of the image, and determines, based on the proposal of the image and the enhanced feature map of the image, a bounding box including a pedestrian in the image and a confidence level of the bounding box including the pedestrian.

  • Patent number: 11758285
    Abstract: In a method for selecting pictures from a sequence of pictures of an object in motion, a computerized user device determines, for each picture in the sequence of pictures, a value of a motion feature of the object. Based on analyzing the values of the motion feature of the pictures in the sequence, the device identifies a first subset of pictures from the pictures in the sequence. The device then selects, based on a second selection criterion, a second subset of pictures from the first subset of pictures. The pictures in the second subset are displayed to a user for further selection.
