  • Multi-pose face tracking using multiple appearance models
    Patent number: 8064639
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for tracking a face moving through multiple frames of a video sequence. A predicted position of a face in a video frame is obtained. Similarity matching for both a color model and an edge model are performed to derive correlation values for each about the predicted position. The correlation values are then combined to determine a best position and scale match to track a face in the video.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 19, 2007
    Date of Patent: November 22, 2011
    Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.
    Inventors: Gurumurthy Swaminathan, Vijendran G. Venkoparao, Rudra N. Hota, Saad J. Bedros, Michal Juza
  • Flare monitoring
    Patent number: 7876229
    Abstract: A computer assisted method identifies characteristics of a flare. A digital image of the flare is obtained, such as by a color digital video camera and a region of interest likely containing the flare is identified. Flare pixels within the region of interest are identified and color information is extracted from such flare pixels. The extracted color information is associated to characterizations of the flare, and an operator is provided an alert when such characterizations indicate an abnormal flare.
