  • Publication number: 20210142149
    Abstract: A method of object re-identification in images of objects comprises providing a plurality of neural networks for object re-identification, wherein each of the plurality of neural networks is trained on image data with different sets of anatomical features, each set being represented by a reference vector; receiving a plurality of images of objects and an input vector representing anatomical features that are depicted in all of the plurality of images; comparing the input vector with the reference vectors for determining, according to a predefined condition, the most similar reference vector; and inputting image data of the plurality of objects to the neural network represented by the most similar reference vector for determining whether the plurality of objects have the same identity.

  • Patent number: 9936217
    Abstract: A method and encoder for video encoding a sequence of frames is provided. The method comprises: receiving a sequence of frames depicting a moving object, predicting a movement of the moving object in the sequence of frames between a first time point and a second time point; defining, on basis of the predicted movement of the moving object, a region of interest (ROI) in the frames which covers the moving object during its entire predicted movement between the first time point and the second time point; and encoding a first frame, corresponding to the first time point, in the ROI and one or more intermediate frames, corresponding to time points being intermediate to the first and the second time point, in at least a subset of the ROI using a common encoding quality pattern defining which encoding quality to use in which portion of the ROI.
