  • Publication number: 20200257890
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present application provide a method and apparqatus for determining a trajectory of a human target. The method includes: extracting a target feature of a to-be-tracked human target in a to-be-processed image as a to-be-searched target feature; searching for an acquisition attribute corresponding to the to-be-searched target feature based on a pre-established correspondence between target features and acquisition attributes; determining a trajectory of the to-be-tracked human target based on the found acquisition attribute. It can be seen that in this solution, a face image is not required for determining a trajectory of a person. Even if the acquired face image is not clear, the accuracy of determining the trajectory of the person will not be reduced. Therefore, by the solution of the present application, the accuracy of determining the trajectory of the person is improved.

  • Publication number: 20200226760
    Abstract: Disclosed is an image analysis method and apparatus, upon a program crash on a computing node, the central node may acquire the image analysis task that results in the crash, split the image analysis task into multiple image analysis sub-tasks, transmit sequentially the image analysis sub-tasks to the computing node until a program crash occurs thereon. The central node then acquires an error image analysis sub-task that results in the crash on the computing node, and discard the error image analysis sub-task. The image analysis method can discard only the crash resulting image from an image analysis task, while other images in the image analysis task are retained. As such, fewer images are lost, so that the duration of a frame loss during video playback can be reduced and the reliability of image analysis can be improved. The approach is applicable for image analysis.

  • Publication number: 20200193146
    Abstract: The embodiments of the present application provide a method and apparatus for recognizing an identity of a human target. The method includes: obtaining a to-be-recognized image; extracting a target feature of a to-be-recognized human target in the to-be-recognized image as a to-be-searched target feature; searching for a facial information item corresponding to the to-be-searched target feature based on a pre-established correspondence between target features and facial information items; and determining an identity of the to-be-recognized human target based on the found facial information item. It can be seen that, in this solution, there is no need to extract the facial features in the image, and even if the facial region is not clear or is shaded by other objects in the image, the accuracy of identity recognition is reduced. Therefore, accuracy of identity recognition is improved.

  • Publication number: 20190272671
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for constructing a 3D scene model are provided. The method includes: acquiring a first point cloud corresponding to a current target scene (S101); determining a first partial point cloud corresponding to a dynamic object from the first point cloud (S102); constructing a foreground 3D model based on the first partial point cloud (S103); and superimposing the foreground 3D model with a background 3D model to obtain a current 3D scene model (S104). As can be seen, it is not necessary to fuse each pixel acquired by each depth camera. Instead, the dynamic object is determined in the point cloud acquired by the depth camera. Only the foreground 3D model corresponding to the dynamic object is superimposed with the background 3D model corresponding to the static objects obtained in advance. This reduces the amount of computation to build a 3D scene model.
