Patent number: 11847816Abstract: Techniques are provided for processing video frames in a process flow that includes first and second computation engines. In an example, the first engine is an artificial intelligence based computation engine, and the second engine is a heuristics-based computation engine. A sequence of frames of a video includes a first and second frames that are two consecutive frames in the sequence. An analyzer determines whether the second frame has non-redundant information relative to the first frame. In response to the determination, the analyzer selects one of the first or second engine for processing at least a section of the second frame. For example, if the second frame has non-redundant information relative to the first frame, at least the section of the second frame is processed by the first engine. If the second frame does not include non-redundant information, the second frame is processed by the second engine.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2020Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Pravin Chander Chandran, Raghavendra Bhat, Sean J.

Publication number: 20220111865Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to determine driver scoring that consider deviations in map and sensor data in driver score computations. The deviations can be based on deviations from an optimum driving path, and include the determination of vectors between a reference point and one or more landmarks, and one or more reference vectors between the reference point the landmark(s) when traveling on an optimum driving path. A difference between the vectors may then be used determine the deviations from the optimum driving path. In contrast to the conventional approaches, the use of positional deviations (e.g. determined from road markings) in the computation of driver scores allows for improved driver scoring techniques and driver characterizations.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2021Publication date: April 14, 2022Inventors: Sean J.

Publication number: 20220013006Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to determine driver scoring that consider road accident proneness scores in driver score computations. The road accident proneness scores may be based on one or more alerts. Further, road types of roads may be determined based on alerts. The determination of the road type may use a machine learning model. In contrast to the conventional approaches, the use of road accident proneness scores in the computation of driver scores allows for the consideration of accident proneness of the road to improve upon conventional scoring techniques. Further, map data and generated maps may be improved based on determined road types.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2021Publication date: January 13, 2022Inventors: Mashrin Srivastava, Muvazima Mansoor, Sean J.

Patent number: 10951914Abstract: One or more system, apparatus, method, and computer readable media is described for reducing the GOP length during a direct pass-through of an encoded video stream format that is supported by the decoder at the sink. In some embodiments, the encoded video stream is decoded on the source device and employed to generate and insert supplemental intra-predicted frames (I-frames) at shorter intervals allowing for faster recovery in the event of lost packets/frames when transmitted to a sink display. In some embodiments, Residual Artifact Suppressed (RAS) inter-predicted frames are further created and inserted in place of any frames that reference a frame converted to a supplemental I-frame. The encoded video stream passed through will consist of all the original frames except for the supplemental I-frames reducing the GOP, and RAS inter-predicted frames modified to prevent propagation of residual induced artifacts.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2015Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventor: Sean J.
