  • Patent number: 12425741
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting, quantifying, and/or measuring motion of an object and correcting for exposure includes providing a processor and at least one video sensor; determining video recording parameters of the at least one video sensor; recording, by the at least one video sensor, video of the object; extracting a data set from the video wherein the data set describes the motion of the object; calculating a frequency transform of the data set for at least one frequency; and performing exposure correction at the at least one frequency based on the recording parameters.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11961240
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting motion with respect an object includes providing a processor and at least one video sensor; synchronizing the at least one video sensor to a dynamic event associated with the object; recording, by the at least one video sensor, a plurality of data sets including the object, each data set of the plurality of data sets being synchronized with respect to the dynamic event associated with the object; averaging, by the processor, the plurality of data sets to provide an averaged synchronized data set; and calculating, by the processor, a motion with respect to the object based on the averaged synchronized data set.

  • Patent number: 11074477
    Abstract: A computing system and method for identifying related visual content of a collection of visual media files comprising one or more image files and video files includes monitoring inputs to the computing system, the inputs associated with a user interaction with electronic content using the computer system, identifying a visual media file in the collection of visual media files relevant to the electronic content based on a semantic label assigned to the visual media file by the computing system, creating a representative image of the identified visual media file, and displaying the representative image for selection. The computing system enables a selection of the displayed representative image for association of the identified visual media file with the electronic content.

  • Patent number: 10691743
    Abstract: A computing system for realizing visual content of an image collection executes feature detection algorithms and semantic reasoning techniques on the images in the collection to elicit a number of different types of visual features of the images. The computing system indexes the visual features and provides technologies for multi-dimensional content-based clustering, searching, and iterative exploration of the image collection using the visual features and/or the visual feature indices.
