  • Publication number: 20210168347
    Abstract: A system includes a stereo camera, a memory and a processor. The camera includes a first imaging device configured to acquire a first image of an object at a first wavelength range from a first direction, and a second imaging device configured to acquire a second image of the object at a second wavelength range from a second direction. The memory is configured to store weights of an ANN trained to estimate a spatial disparity between a first image patch of the first image and a second image patch of the second image. The processor is configured to (a) apply the ANN to the first and second image patches so as to estimate (i) the spatial disparity and (ii) a degree of matching between the first and second image patches at the estimated spatial disparity, and (b) output the estimated degree of matching.

  • Patent number: 10943092
    Abstract: A method, system and a computer readable medium for monitoring a person. The method may include (a) acquiring a group of other images and acquiring a group of LWIR of a face of the person. The LWIR imager is mechanically coupled to the other imager has a lower resolution, (b) determining locations of a facial feature of the person within the groups of other and LWIR images, by applying a compensation process for compensating for differences between the acquiring of the group of LWIR images and the acquiring of the group of other images; (c) applying a thermal dynamic analysis on pixels of the facial feature within the LWIR images; and (d) determining, based on an outcome of the thermal dynamic analysis, at least one parameter of the person.

  • Patent number: 10176845
    Abstract: Techniques and devices for creating a Forward-Reverse Loop output video and other output video variations. A pipeline may include obtaining input video and determining a start frame within the input video and a frame length parameter based on a temporal discontinuity minimization. The selected start frame and the frame length parameter may provide a reversal point within the Forward-Reverse Loop output video. The Forward-Reverse Loop output video may include a forward segment that begins at the start frame and ends at the reversal point and a reverse segment that starts after the reversal point and plays back one or more frames in the forward segment in a reverse order. The pipeline for the generating Forward-Reverse Loop output video may be part of a shared resource architecture that generates other types of output video variations, such as AutoLoop output videos and Long Exposure output videos.
