Publication number: 20170147881Abstract: Systems and methods identify consumer products in images. Known consumer products are captured as grayscale or color images. They are converted to binary at varying thresholds. Connected components in the binary images identify image features according to pixels of a predetermined size, shape, solidity, aspect ratio, and the like. The image features are stored and searched for amongst image features similarly extracted from unknown images of consumer products. Identifying correspondence between the features of the images lends itself to identifying or not known consumer products.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2015Publication date: May 25, 2017Inventor: ROBERT REED BOOTH

Publication number: 20170147882Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for assigning pixels distance-cost values using a flood fill technique. One embodiment takes the form of a process that includes obtaining video data depicting a head of a user, obtaining depth data associated with the video data, and selecting seed pixels for a flood fill at least in part by using the depth information. The process also includes performing the flood fill from the selected seed pixels. The flood fill assigns respective distance-cost values to pixels of the video data based on position-space cost values and color-space cost values. In some embodiments, the process also includes classifying pixels of the video data as foreground based at least in part on the assigned distance-cost values. In some other embodiments, the process also includes assigning pixels of the video data foreground-likelihood values based at least in part on the assigned distance-cost values.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2017Publication date: May 25, 2017Inventors: Dennis Lin, Quang Nguyen, Gia Dang, Yi Zhang, Simion Venshtain, Cong Nguyen

Publication number: 20170147883Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can identify a first video represented based on a first set of image frames. A first subset of image frames can be extracted from the first set of image frames. The first subset of image frames can be compared to one or more image frames associated with a collection of video clusters. It can be determined that at least a threshold quantity of image frames in the first subset matches, within an allowable deviation, at least some image frames associated with a first video cluster included the collection of video clusters. The first video cluster can be defined to include the first video.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2017Publication date: May 25, 2017Inventor: Ladislav Prosek

Publication number: 20170147884Abstract: Infrared radiation fire detector, comprising a curved support surface and a plurality of infrared radiation sensors arranged on the support surface. Each sensor comprises a planar array of infrared radiation-sensitive elements, having a respective sight direction and a solid angle of view defined around the sight direction, which define a field of view associated to the sensor. The sight directions of the sensors intersect with one another at a central point and the sensors are spaced apart from one another by a given angular distance referred to the central point, the solid angles of view of the sensors having a same narrow width so that the fields of view of the sensors are non-intersecting with one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2016Publication date: May 25, 2017Inventor: GIOVANNI PIETRO LORENZONI

Publication number: 20170147885Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for detecting human presence using IR sensor data. In some embodiments, any activity in a space monitored (imaged) by an IR sensor can be determined by calculating the delta between average image frames acquired by the imaging sensor. A finite value of delta implies activity/presence. In some embodiments, the delta values (i.e., changes in target area scene) are integrated over time to calculate a mask. The mask can be used to isolate a human occupant (whether stationary or moving) in the scene from the given background objects of the space, thus allowing for occupancy detection. Occupancy in known blind spots of the area can be inferred based on detected occupancy in non-blind spots neighboring the blind spot so that entering and exiting with respect to the blind spot is tracked.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2017Publication date: May 25, 2017Applicant: OSRAM SYLVANIA Inc.Inventors: Anant Aggarwal, Christian Breuer
