  • Patent number: 11905224
    Abstract: The present application provides a method for fully recycling kitchen waste by using Hermetia illucens L. and aerobic microorganisms. The method includes first performing solid-liquid separation on the kitchen waste; then using the filtrate obtained through separation to feed young larvae of Hermetia illucens L. to convert salt in the filtrate into body fluid of Hermetia illucens L. in a larval stage, and using the kitchen waste filter residue to feed 2nd-6th-instar larvae of Hermetia illucens L. respectively; separating insects and insect feces residue in a timely manner, so as to reduce a salt content of insect feces and improve transabdominal transformation efficiency of Hermetia illucens L. and quality of the insect manure; and finally implementing full resource utilization through aerobic composting and insect drying and sterilization treatment.

  • Patent number: 11636744
    Abstract: This disclosure includes technologies for action recognition in general. The disclosed system may automatically detect various types of actions in a video, including reportable actions that cause shrinkage in a practical application for loss prevention in the retail industry. Further, appropriate responses may be invoked if a reportable action is recognized. In some embodiments, a three-branch architecture may be used in a machine learning model for action and/or activity recognition. The three-branch architecture may include a main branch for action recognition, an auxiliary branch for learning/identifying an actor (e.g., human parsing) related to an action, and an auxiliary branch for learning/identifying a scene related to an action. In this three-branch architecture, the knowledge of the actor and the scene may be integrated in two different levels for action and/or activity recognition.

    Abstract: This disclosure includes technologies for video recognition in general. The disclosed system can automatically detect various types of actions in a video, including reportable actions that cause shrinkage in a practical application for loss prevention in the retail industry. The temporal evolution of spatio-temporal features in the video are used for action recognition. Such features may be learned via a 4D convolutional operation, which is adapted to model low-level features based on a residual 4D block. Further, appropriate responses may be invoked if a reportable action is recognized.
