  • Publication number: 20180374253
    Abstract: A set of 3D user-designed images is used to create a high volume of realistic scenes or images which can be used for training and testing deep learning machines. The system creates a high volume of scenes having a wide variety of environmental, weather-related factors as well as scenes that take into account camera noise, distortion, angle of view, and the like. A generative modeling process is used to vary objects contained in an image so that more images, each one distinct, can be used to train the deep learning model without the inefficiencies of creating videos of actual, real life scenes. Object label data is known by virtue of a designer selecting an object from an image database and placing it in the scene. This and other methods care used to artificially create new scenes that do not have to be recorded in real-life conditions and that do not require costly and time-consuming, manual labelling or tagging of objects.

  • Publication number: 20180285648
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for automated object tracking in a video feed. The apparatus receives and sequentially processes a plurality of frames of the video feed to track objects. In particular, a plurality of objects in a frame are detected and assigned to a respective track fragment. A kinematic, visual, temporal or machine learning-based feature of an object is then identified and stored in metadata associated with the track fragment. A track fragment for the object is identified in earlier frames based on a comparison of the feature and a corresponding feature in metadata associated with the earlier frames. The track fragments for the object in the frame and the object in the earlier frames are linked to form a track of the object. The apparatus then outputs the video feed with the track of the object as an overlay thereon.
