Abstract: A system, method, computer readable storage medium for a computer vision system includes at least one video camera, and video processor circuitry. The method includes inputting a stream of video data and generating a sequence of image frames, segmenting and tracking, by the video analysis apparatus, object instances in the stream of video data, including receiving the sequence of image frames, analyzing the sequence of image frames using a video instance segmentation transformer to obtain a video instance mask sequence from the sequence of image frames, the transformer having a backbone network, a transformer encoder-decoder, and an instance matching and segmentation block, The encoder contains a multi-scale spatio-temporal split attention module to capture spatio-temporal feature relationships at multiple scales across multiple frames. The decoder contains a temporal attention block for enhancing a temporal consistency of transformer queries. The method includes displaying the video instance mask sequence.

Abstract: A video system and method for person search includes video cameras for capturing video images, a display device, and a computer system. The computer system including a deep learning network to determine person images, from among the video images, matching a target query person. The deep learning network having a person detection branch, a person re-identification branch, and an attention-aware relation mixer connected to the person detection branch and to the person re-identification branch. The attention-aware relation mixer including a relation mixer having a spatial and channel mixer that performs spatial attention followed by spatial mixing (tokenized multi-layered perceptron) and channel attention followed by channel mixing (channel multi-layered perceptron), and a joint spatio-channel attention layer that utilizes 3D attention weights to modulate 3D spatio-channel region of interest features and aggregate the features with output of the relation mixer.

Abstract: An apparatus, computer readable storage medium and method of generating a diverse set of images from few-shot images, includes a parameter input receiving values for control parameters to control an extent to which each reference image impacts a newly generated image. The apparatus involves an image generation deep learning network for generating an image for each of the values for the control parameters. The deep learning network has an encoder, a transformer-based fusion block, and a decoder. The transformer-based fusion block includes a mapping network that computes meta-weights from features extracted from the reference images and the control parameters, and a cross-attention block to generate modulation weights based on the meta-weights. An output displays high-quality and diverse images generated based on the values for the control parameter.

Abstract: A method for identifying a hand pose in a vehicle involves identifying a hand image for a hand in the vehicle by extraction from a vehicle image of the vehicle. A plurality of contextual images of the hand image is obtained based on the single point. Each of the plurality of contextual images are processed using one or more layers of a neural network to obtain a plurality of contextual features associated with the hand image. A hand pose associated with the hand is identified based on the plurality of contextual features using a classifier model.
