Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for interfacing with a user to facilitate an image search for a person-of-interest. A face thumbnail of the person-of-interest, a body thumbnail of the person-of-interest, and image search results of the person-of-interest are concurrently displayed on a display to help a user identify the person-of-interest who appears in one or more of a collection of video recordings. The user may provide feedback to the system regarding whether image search results show the person-of-interest, which feedback may be used to refine the image search results.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for interactively identifying same individuals or objects present in video recordings is disclosed. When a thumbnail in a set of thumbnails is selected, new information is obtained. The new information may be that an individual or object is present in the portion of the video recording associated with the thumbnail. A search can be carried out for the individual or object based on the new information. The search generates new match likelihoods for each of displayed thumbnails within a user interface page. The displayed thumbnails are re-ordered based on the new match likelihoods.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for sharing layers between convolutional neural networks (CNNs). A data processing system may include a first and a second CNN that share a first group of layers. The first CNN may include the first group of layers in series with a second group of layers and be configured such that data for the first CNN is input to the first group of layers. The second CNN may include the first group of layers in series with a third group of layers and be configured such that data for the second CNN is also input to the first group of layers.

Abstract: There is provided an appearance search system comprising one or more cameras configured to capture video of a scene, the video having images of objects. The system comprises one or more processors and memory comprising computer program code stored on the memory and configured when executed by the one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform a method. The method comprises identifying one or more of the objects within the images of the objects. The method further comprises implementing a learning machine configured to generate signatures of the identified objects and generate a signature of an object of interest. The system further comprises a network configured to send the images of the objects from the camera to the one or more processors.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for enabling mobile device users to share their respective locations and provide maps to each other's locations without requiring the use of a central server providing location services. The other user's location is provided as GPS coordinates that are attached to the communications between the parties (e.g., SMS, text, voice, etc.) and used to generate the other user's location on a map generated at the recipient's mobile device. In operation, a simple communication is provided to another user requesting his/her location and the GPS coordinates of the recipient are returned directly to the requester's mobile device for providing through an API to map or navigation or game software or hardware. The generated map is provided to the requester's mobile device, thereby bypassing the central server.
