Patent number: 11909950Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating the performance of three-dimensional (3D) sensors can include, for example, obtaining, via a 3D sensor in a testing apparatus, range information of a scene within a field-of-view (FOV) of the 3D sensor. The scene includes a plurality of targets disposed within the testing apparatus. Each of the plurality of targets is located at a different distance from the 3D sensor in the testing apparatus. A validation of the performance of the 3D sensor at the different distances is performed at a same point in time, based on the range information. An indication of a result of the validation is provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Karl Bernard Swanson, Gregory Cartagena, Jing Ma, Olugbenga Osibodu, Albert William Saunders, IV, Stephen A.

Patent number: 11748992Abstract: Example implementations may relate to methods and systems for detecting an event in a physical region within a physical space. Accordingly, a computing system may receive from a subscriber device an indication of a virtual region within a virtual representation of the physical space such that the virtual region corresponds to the physical region. The system may also receive from the subscriber a trigger condition associated with the virtual region, where the trigger condition corresponds to a particular physical change in the physical region. The system may also receive sensor data from sensors in the physical space and a portion of the sensor data may be associated with the physical region. Based on the sensor data, the system may detect an event in the physical region that satisfies the trigger condition and may responsively provide to the subscriber a notification that indicates that the trigger condition has been satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2021Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Arshan Poursohi, Daniel Aden, Matthew Amacker, Charles Robert Barker, Paul Vincent Byrne, Paul Du Bois, Greg Joseph Klein, Steve Scott Tompkins

Publication number: 20230215181Abstract: A method includes receiving, from a subscriber device, a request including virtual region characteristics and an occupancy threshold, and determining, using image data captured by a camera and the virtual region characteristics, a virtual region corresponding to a portion of a physical region within a field of view of the camera. The virtual region is smaller than the physical region. The method also includes determining, using the image data, an occupancy of the virtual region and determining that the occupancy of the virtual region satisfies the occupancy threshold. In response to determining that the occupancy of the virtual region satisfies the occupancy threshold, the method also includes generating a notification to the subscriber device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2023Publication date: July 6, 2023Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Arshan Poursohi, Daniel Aden, Matthew Amacker, Charles Robert Barker, Paul Vincent Byrne, Paul Du Bois, Greg Joseph Klein, Steve Scott Tompkins
