  • Frame-based body part detection in video clips
    Patent number: 12056949
    Abstract: 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.

  • Detecting prurient activity in video content
    Patent number: 11589116
    Abstract: 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.
