  • Patent number: 10878578
    Abstract: Provided are methods, apparatus, and computer-readable mediums for tracking objects that intersect with an exclusion zone defined for a scene being captured by a video camera. An exclusion zone can delineate an area of a video frame where background objects may be moving. The exclusion zone informs an object tracking system that objects within the exclusion zone should not be tracked. In various implementations, the object tracking system can determine that a bounding box for a blob intersects with the exclusion zone. The object tracking system can further, based on the bounding box intersecting with the exclusion zone, prevent outputting of a blob tracker associated with the blob.

  • Publication number: 20200175260
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for image processing are described. The method may include identifying a face in a first image based on identifying one or more biometric features of the face, determining an angular direction of one or more pixels of the identified face, identifying an anchor point on the identified face, sorting each of one or more pixels of the identified face into one of a set of pixel bins based on a combination of the determined angular direction of the pixel and a distance between the pixel and the identified anchor point, and outputting an indication of authenticity associated with the face based on a number of pixels in each bin.
