Publication number: 20240082704Abstract: A game-agnostic event detector can be used to automatically identify game events. Game-specific configuration data can be used to specify types of pre-processing to be performed on media for a game session, as well as types of detectors to be used to detect events for the game. Event data for detected events can be written to an event log in a form that is both human- and process-readable. The event data can be used for various purposes, such as to generate highlight videos or provide player performance feedback.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Jonathan White, Dave Clark, Nathan Otterness, Travis Muhlestein, Prabindh Sundareson, Jim van Welzen, Jack van Welzen

Patent number: 11657627Abstract: In various examples, frames of a video may include a first visual object that may appear relative to a second visual object within a region of the frames. Once a relationship between the first visual object and the region is known, one or more operations may be performed on the relative region. For example, optical character recognition may be performed on the relative region where the relative region is known to contain textual information. As a result, the identification of the first visual object may serve as an anchor for determining the location of the relative region including the second visual object—thereby increasing accuracy and efficiency of the system while reducing run-time.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2021Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: James Van Welzen, Jonathan White, David Clark, Nathan Otterness, Jack Van Welzen, Prakash Yadav

Event data for detected events can be written to an event log in a form that is both human- and process-readable. The event data can be used for various purposes, such as to generate highlight videos or provide player performance feedback. The event data may be determined based upon output from detectors such as optical character recognition (OCR) engines, and the regions may be upscaled and binarized before OCR processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2021Publication date: January 6, 2022Inventors: Nathan Otterness, Jonathan White, Dave Clark, Jim van Welzen
