  • Publication number: 20230070719
    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting mounting behavior of an animal object includes: a memory that stores a program; and a processor that executes the program. The program extracts animal detection information about an animal object detected from the image by inputting the received image into an animal detection model. Also, the program extracts bounding boxes of which a distance between coordinates of central points is smaller than a first set value, bounding boxes of which a difference in rotational angle is smaller than a second set value, and bounding boxes of which a difference between a vector connecting the central points of the extracted bounding boxes and an orientation of each bounding box is smaller than a third set value. If activity information of the animal object is extracted based on an MHI of the image, it is determined that mounting behavior occurs.

  • Patent number: 10014003
    Abstract: A method of detecting a particular abnormal sound in an environment with background noise is provided. The method includes acquiring a sound from a microphone, separating abnormal sounds from the input sound based on non-negative matrix factorization (NMF), extracting Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) parameters according to the separated abnormal sounds, calculating hidden Markov model (HMM) likelihoods according to the separated abnormal sounds, and comparing the likelihoods of the separated abnormal sounds with a reference value to determine whether or not an abnormal sound has occurred. According to the method, based on NMF, a sound to be detected is compared with ambient noise in a one-to-one basis and classified so that the sound may be stably detected even in an actual environment with multiple noises.
