  • Publication number: 20240135687
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an object detection system, including apparatuses and methods for object detection. An implementation may include receiving a first class of a first object depicted in an image frame from a classification model and subsequently receiving a second image frame. The implementation further includes predicting, using a classification tracking model, that the classification model will output the first class for the second image frame and then detecting whether the first class is in fact outputted. The implementation includes determining that the second image frame should be added to a training dataset for the classification model when detecting that the classification model did not generate the first class for the second image frame as predicted and re-training the classification model using the training dataset.

  • Publication number: 20240121132
    Abstract: A building system including one or more memory devices having instructions stored thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive an event from an event source, the event comprising data and a timestamp. The building system operates to identify first contextual data describing the event in a digital twin, the digital twin comprising a virtual representation of a building, enrich the event with the first contextual data, and provide the enriched event to a consuming system, the consuming system generating an output event based on the enriched event. The building system operates to identify second contextual data describing the output event in the digital twin, enrich the output event with the second contextual data, and provide the enriched output event to the consuming system or another consuming system.

  • Publication number: 20240111835
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an object detection system, including apparatuses and methods for object detection. An implementation may include receiving a first image frame from an ROI detection model that generated a first ROI boundary around a first object detected in the first image frame and subsequently receiving a second image frame. The implementation further includes predicting, using an ROI tracking model, that the first ROI boundary will be present in the second image frame and then detecting whether the first ROI boundary is in fact present in the second image frame. The implementation includes determining that the second image frame should be added to a training dataset for the ROI detection model when detecting that the ROI detection model did not generate the first ROI boundary in the second image frame as predicted and re-training the ROI detection model using the training dataset.
