Patent number: 11928880Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for detecting an uncovered portion of a body of a person in a frame of video content. In an example, a first machine learning model of a computing system may output a first score for the frame based on a map that identifies a region of the frame associated with an uncovered body part type. Depending on a value of the first score, a second machine learning model that includes a neural network architecture may further analyze the frame to output a second score. The first score and second score may be merged to produce a third score for the frame. A plurality of scores may be determined, respectively, for frames of the video content, and a maximum score may be selected. The video content may be selected for presentation on a display for further evaluation based on the maximum score.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Xiaohang Sun, Mohamed Kamal Omar, Alexander Ratnikov, Ahmed Aly Saad Ahmed, Tai-Ching Li, Travis Silvers, Hanxiao Deng, Muhammad Raffay Hamid, Ivan Ryndin

Patent number: 11792037Abstract: A safety automation system for an occupiable structure includes a computing management system, a first detection device, and a second detection device. The management system includes a computer processor, and a computer readable storage medium configured to run embedded software, The first detection device is adapted to detect a hazard condition and output an associated hazard condition detected signal to the computing management system. The second detection device is adapted to detect the presence of an occupant in the occupiable structure and the occupant's proximity to the first detection device, and output an occupied signal to the computing management system. The computing management system adjusts the sensitivity of the first detection device based on occupancy and proximity of the occupant to the first detection device.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: CARRIER CORPORATIONInventors: Anis Zribi, Travis Silver, Jonathon Hughes, John Andres, Chris Rovenstine, Sean Curley, Michael L.

Patent number: 11589116Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for detecting a type of prurient activity shown by a portion of video content. In an example, a machine learning model of a computer system may receive a second portion of video content, the machine learning model including a neural network that is trained to analyze a temporal dimension of the second portion. The machine learning model determines a score indicating a likelihood that the video content shows the type of prurient activity based in part on applying a three-dimensional filter to the second portion of the video content. The computer system then generates a video clip that includes at least the portion of the video content showing the type of prurient activity based on the score, and provides the video clip for display.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2021Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Mohamed Kamal Omar, Xiaohang Sun, Ivan Ryndin, Tai-Ching Li, Alexander Ratnikov, Muhammad Raffay Hamid, Ahmed Aly Saad Ahmed, Travis Silvers, Hanxiao Deng
