Publication number: 20260149857Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that provide a computerized framework for automatically and/or dynamically generating video highlights via implementations of LLMs. In some implementations, the framework can leverage LLMs and contextual embeddings to automatically generate video highlights by identifying key moments, insights and/or salient points, determining a similarity among segments within the video, then compiling a concise highlights reel that can be curated and/or modified to a requesting and/or viewing user. Such automated highlight generation can save time, identify relevant content and deliver a customized video experience for each viewer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2024Publication date: May 28, 2026Applicant: VERIZON PATENT AND LICENSING INC.Inventors: Vidhya SERAN, Adwait Ashish MURUDKAR, Sergey VIRODOV

Patent number: 12518478Abstract: An illustrative point cloud segmentation system generates an instance-wise semantic mask for a particular source image of a set of source images that has been used to construct a 3D point cloud representing a scene that includes one or more objects. The point cloud segmentation system maps a set of 3D points from the 3D point cloud to corresponding 2D points of the particular source image, then labels, based on contours defined by the instance-wise semantic mask to demarcate the one or more objects, the mapped set of 3D points in accordance with where the corresponding 2D point for each mapped 3D point is positioned with respect to the contours. Based on the labeling of the mapped 3D points, the point cloud segmentation system produces a segmented 3D point cloud including an instance-wise segmentation of the one or more objects at the scene. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2023Date of Patent: January 6, 2026Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Adwait Ashish Murudkar, Nikhil Sadashiv Pantpratinidhi, Sergey Virodov, Stephen Cole, Vidhya Seran

Patent number: 12489971Abstract: A first capture engine application may synchronize a first clock to a global time domain to which a second clock used by a second capture engine application is also synchronized. The first capture engine application may receive a first image frame having a camera timestamp indicating a capture time of the first image frame with respect to a camera time domain. Based on the camera timestamp and the synchronized first clock, the first capture engine application may annotate the first image frame with a global timestamp indicating the capture time of the first image frame with respect to the global time domain. The first capture engine application may then transmit the annotated first image frame at a same transmission time as the second capture engine application also synchronously transmits a second image frame that is also annotated with the global timestamp. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2022Date of Patent: December 2, 2025Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Igor Gomon, Vidhya Seran

Patent number: 12488502Abstract: An illustrative camera calibration system accesses a set of images captured by one or more cameras at a scene. The set of images may each depict a same element of image content present at the scene, but may depict the element of image content differently in each image so as to show an apparent movement of the element from one image to another. The camera calibration system applies a structure-from-motion algorithm to the set of images to generate calibration parameters for the one or more cameras based on the apparent movement of the element of image content shown in the set of images. Additionally, the camera calibration system provides the calibration parameters for the one or more cameras to a 3D modeling system configured to model the scene based on the set of images. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2022Date of Patent: December 2, 2025Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Liang Luo, Igor Gomon, Lonnie Souder, Vidhya Seran, Timothy Atchley, Elena Dotsenko

Patent number: 12468497Abstract: An illustrative content server system associated with a server domain may transmit, to a client device associated with a client domain, a data stream representing media content. The media content is represented at a first quality level for presentation within a presentation environment as the data stream is transmitted. Based on environment data captured in the client domain to represent real-time conditions of the presentation environment as the media content is presented, the content server system may determine an engagement parameter representing a real-time engagement level of a user with respect to the media content. Based on this engagement parameter, the content server system may adjust, in real time during the transmitting of the data stream and presentation of the media content, the data stream to represent the media content at a second quality level that is different from the first quality level. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2022Date of Patent: November 11, 2025Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Liang Luo, Tom Hsi Hao Shang, Elena Dotsenko, Vidhya Seran
