  • Publication number: 20250218188
    Abstract: Examples provide a system for detecting large vehicles. The system includes an electronic processor configured to obtain video data from an image sensor, determine a bounding box bounding a detected vehicle in a plurality of frames of the video data, determine a trajectory of the detected vehicle based on changes in location of the bounding box in the plurality of frames, and determine a position of the detected vehicle within at least one frame of the plurality of frames. Based on the trajectory of the detected vehicle, the bounding box, and the position of the detected vehicle within the at least one frame, the electronic processor determines a length of the detected vehicle, and determines whether the length is greater than a threshold. In response to the length of the detected vehicle being greater than a threshold, the electronic processor makes a determination that a large vehicle is detected.

    Abstract: A camera system includes an electronic processor configured to generate a three-dimensional scene including static assets and dynamic assets. The static assets and the dynamic assets are representative of an environment and objects within a reference video. The reference video represents a first perspective. The electronic processor is configured to animate the dynamic assets based on motions of the objects within the reference video to generate an animated scene, render a test video based on the animated scene. The test video represents a second perspective. The electronic processor is configured to generate video analytics data of the test video, generate a comparison based on the video analytics data of the test video and video analytics data of the reference video, and transform a graphical user interface according to the comparison.

The camera is adjusted to a second set of camera settings based on the detected face, where the second set of camera settings different from the first set of camera settings. A second image is received from the camera, where the second image is captured by the camera at the second set of camera settings. The face is detected in the second image. A quality metric of the face in the second image is determined where the quality metric is indicative of an image quality of the face in the second image.

  • Publication number: 20250131544
    Abstract: A system and method for improving a video characteristic of a video stream is described. According to various implementations of the invention, a changed region between a later-in-time image frame and an earlier-in-time image frame and an unchanged region between such two image frames are determined. A new improvement to the video characteristic is determined and applied to the changed region of the later-in-time image frame. A prior improvement to the video characteristic that was determined for the earlier-in-time image frame is applied to the unchanged region of the later-in-time image frame.

  • Publication number: 20250133293
    Abstract: Examples provide a variable zoom imaging system including an image sensor, a set of illumination channels, and a current driver circuitry for driving the set of illumination channels. Each respective illumination channel includes a set of light sources and a lens, and is associated with a respective focus distance. An electronic processor is configured to focus the image sensor to an object of interest, determine a distance from the image sensor to the object of interest, determine an exposure period for the image sensor, select a subset of illumination channels to activate based at least on the distance from the image sensor to the object of interest, and capture a first image of the object of interest using the image sensor by sequentially activating and deactivating each selected illumination channel of the subset for first respective time frames within the exposure period.

  • Patent number: 12277821
    Abstract: Access control system and method to distinguish between tailgate and piggyback. The method includes receiving, from a camera positioned at an access point, one or more images of a first person at the access point and determining based on credential information whether the first person is authorized to enter through the access point. In response to determining that the first person is authorized to enter through the access point, the method includes determining, based on a consent-to-follow gesture of the first person detected in the one or more images, a number of guests of the first person requested to enter through the access point. The method also includes determining, based on the one or more images, a number of persons entering through the access point and generating an alert indicating unauthorized entry when the number of persons is greater than the number of guests.

  • Patent number: 12094202
    Abstract: A device, method and system for pruning video analytics parameters is provided. A device analyzes images from a camera installed at an installation location using a full initial machine learning model trained to detect objects in the images using video analytics parameters, the full initial machine learning model being independent of the installation location. The device gathers, for a period of time, statistics for: frequency of use of the video analytics parameters and/or error generation frequency in detecting the objects in the images. After the period of time, based on the statistics, the device determines that given video analytics parameters meets one or more pruning conditions; and, in response, prunes the given video analytics parameters such that the full initial machine learning model, initially provided for the camera, changes to an updated machine learning model for the camera.

  • Patent number: 11769330
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for implementing an automated analytics for insuring compliance for a thermographic protocol for subjects seeking a temperature check, perhaps for entrance or access to a controlled space or facility. The automated video analytics utilize one or more cameras to detect thermography compliance violations based on whether the subject is perspiring, dehydrated, recently consumed a beverage, has exposed skin, excessive clothing, the amount and type of activity before getting screened, and/or the external and internal temperatures at the controlled facility associated with the subject. Furthermore, the automated video analytics may create a non-compliance score and/or control a timer for a non-compliance detection. Also, short and long term collected data may be analyzed for compliance to guidelines.

  • Patent number: 11625835
    Abstract: Alias capture to support searching for an object-of-interest is disclosed. A method includes capturing, using a camera with a defined field of view, video image frames that include a moving object-of-interest. The method also includes tracking the object-of-interest over a period of time starting when the object-of-interest enters the field of view and ending when the object-of-interest exits the field of view. The method also includes detecting, at a point in time in-between the start and end of the period of time of the tracking, a threshold exceeding change in an appearance of the object-of-interest. The method also includes creating, before the end of the period of time of the tracking, a new object profile for the object-of-interest in response to the detecting of the threshold exceeding change.
