  • Patent number: 11776680
    Abstract: Systems and techniques that facilitate real-time and/or offline de-identification of facial regions from regular and/or occluded color video streams obtained during diagnostic medical procedures are provided. A detection component can generate a bounding box substantially around a person in a frame of a video stream, can generate a heatmap showing key points or anatomical masks of the person based on the bounding box, and can localize a face or facial region of the person based on the key points or anatomical masks. An anonymization component can anonymize pixels in the frame that correspond to the face or facial region. A tracking component can track the face or facial region in a subsequent frame based on a structural similarity index between the frame and the subsequent frame being above a threshold.

  • Patent number: 10902587
    Abstract: A method and system for automatically labeling a spine image is disclosed. The method includes receiving an input spine image and analyzing image features of the input spine image by a deep neural network. The method further includes generating a mask image corresponding to the input spine image by the deep neural network based on image characteristics of a training image dataset. A region of interest in the mask image comprises vertebral candidates of the spine. The training image dataset comprises a plurality of spine images and a plurality of corresponding mask images. The method further includes associating labels with a plurality of image components of the mask image and labeling the input spine image based on labels associated with the mask image.

  • Patent number: 9407867
    Abstract: A videoconference may be initiated between a plurality of endpoints. At least one of the endpoints may be coupled to a recording server, which may be configured to record the videoconference. A configuration may be selected (e.g., automatically or manually) for performing the recording. The endpoint (e.g., acting as an MCU) may transmit information to endpoints and may transmit recording information to the recording server. The recording information may be different from the videoconference information. For example, it may be in a “streaming friendly” format, at a different bit rate, encoded differently, have different inputs, etc. The manner in which the videoconference is stored and/or recorded may be based on the selected configuration. Clients may be configured to receive and display the videoconference from the recording server and may be configured to change the provided layout to different layouts, e.g., based on user input.

  • Patent number: 8842153
    Abstract: Customizing a conferencing system based on proximity of a participant. A first participant may be detected as being proximate to a first conferencing system. For example, the first participant may provide user input to check in to the first conferencing system. Alternatively, the conferencing system may automatically detect the first participant (e.g., by automatically detecting a personal device of the first participant). In response to detecting the proximate participant, the first conferencing system may be automatically customized for the participant.

  • Patent number: 8717407
    Abstract: Performing a videoconference. The videoconference may be established at a first videoconferencing location between at least three videoconferencing locations. The locations may include the first location, a second location, and a third location. The first location may maintain a plurality of videoconferencing units and the second and third locations may each maintain a single videoconferencing unit. A first videoconferencing unit of the first location acts as a multipoint control unit (MCU) of the videoconference. The MCU may receive respective videoconferencing information from each videoconferencing unit of the videoconference. The MCU may provide active videoconferencing information of an active participant to ones of the videoconferencing units at the second and third locations corresponding to non-active participants. The MCU may provide second and third videoconference information from the videoconferencing units of the second and third locations for presentation at the first location.
