  • Patent number: 10950005
    Abstract: Methods and systems including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving, from a camera, a set of images in which the camera detected a particular event based on a first set of camera settings, determining that false detections in the set of images made by the camera based on the first set of camera settings were caused by localized errors, and in response, generating a second set of camera settings based on the localized errors and providing the second set of camera settings to the camera.

  • Patent number: 10916180
    Abstract: A display panel and a manufacturing method are provided. The display panel includes an array substrate, gate signal lines, and gate driving circuits. The array substrate includes a display area and a non-display area around the display area. The display area has a geometric center and an outline between the display area and the non-display area. The gate signal lines are disposed in the display area, and each gate signal line intersects the outline of the display area to form at least one intersection point. The gate driving circuits are disposed in the non-display area and respectively electrically connected to the gate signal lines, and each gate driving circuit has a positioning line. For a gate driving circuit and at least one intersection point that correspond to the same gate signal line, the positioning line is aligned with a line segment that connects the intersection point and the geometric center.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a storage device, are disclosed. A system includes one or more processors and one or more computer storage media storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more processors, to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: obtaining, by the system, video of a scene captured by a camera; determining a likelihood that the camera will be tampered with based on the video of the scene; determining that the likelihood that the camera will be tampered with satisfies criteria; and transmitting data generated from the video.

  • Patent number: 10755259
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for monitoring a point of sale (POS) transaction. Operations performed by the methods and systems include generating POS primitives by processing non-video data of a transaction recorded at POS terminal. The operations also include generating video primitives by processing video data of the transaction recorded at the POS terminal. The operations further include determining that the transaction comprises an exceptional transaction by comparing the non-video data and/or the video data to exceptional transaction rules. Additionally, the operations include determining that the exceptional transaction comprises a verified exceptional transaction by generating a video event based on the video primitives and a corresponding video rule.

  • Patent number: 10708548
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable media for creating and using video analysis rules that are based on map data are disclosed. A sensor(s), such as a video camera, can track and monitor a geographic location, such as a road, pipeline, or other location or installation. A video analytics engine can receive video streams from the sensor, and identify a location of the imaged view in a geo-registered map space, such as a latitude-longitude defined map space. A user can operate a graphical user interface to draw, enter, select, and/or otherwise input on a map a set of rules for detection of events in the monitored scene, such as tripwires and areas of interest. When tripwires, areas of interest, and/or other features are approached or crossed, the engine can perform responsive actions, such as generating an alert and sending it to a user.

  • Patent number: 10687022
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems, devices, and computer-implemented methods for performing automated visual surveillance by obtaining video camera coordinates determined using video data, video camera metadata, and/or digital elevation models, obtaining a surveillance rule associated with rule coordinates, identifying a video camera that is associated with video camera coordinates that include at least part of the rule coordinates, and transmitting the surveillance rule to a computing device associated with the video camera. The rule coordinates can be automatically determined based on received coordinates of an object. Additionally, the surveillance rule can be generated based on instructions from a user in a natural language syntax.
