Publication number: 20230209017Abstract: The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for providing event alerts. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining a video feed. A frame of the video feed is analyzed at a first resolution to determine whether the frame includes a potential instance of a person. In accordance with the determination that the image includes the potential instance, a region is denoted around the potential instance. The region is analyzed at a second resolution, greater than the first resolution. In accordance with a determination that the region includes the instance of the person. a determination that the frame includes the person is made. An indication of the determination is stored for use in subsequent alert notification processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Rizwan Ahmed Chaudhry, Navneet Dalal, Jonathan Z.

Patent number: 11587320Abstract: A computing system obtains a video feed. For a frame of the video feed, the computing system analyzes the frame to determine whether the frame includes a potential instance of an event. In accordance with a determination that the frame includes the potential instance of an event, the computing system determines for the event an event category from a plurality of predefined event categories. It stores an indication of the event category. It determines whether the event category matches a predefined notification filter definition. In accordance with a determination that the event category matches the predefined notification filter definition, the computing system issues an alert notification to a user client device. In accordance with a determination that the event category does not match the predefined notification filter definition, the computing system refrains from issuing the alert notification.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2020Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Rizwan Ahmed Chaudhry, Navneet Dalal, Jonathan Z.

Patent number: 11483451Abstract: A method is performed at a system that comprises one or more video cameras and a remote server system. The method includes obtaining, via a video camera of the one or more video cameras, a continuous stream of video data for a scene. The video data stream comprises color video data in accordance with a determination that the scene has illumination above an illumination threshold and comprises infrared (IR) video data in accordance with a determination that the scene does not have illumination above the illumination threshold. The method includes colorizing the IR video data based on a subset of the color video data. The method further includes presenting the colorized video data to a user in real time.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2019Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: Google LLCInventors: George Alban Heitz, III, Rizwan Ahmed Chaudhry, Ankit Mohan, Joshua Fromm
