The object classification module is operable to determine whether or not an object in an image is a member of an object class, and the calibration module is operable to estimate representative sizes of the object. The object classification module may determine a confidence parameter that is used by the calibration module, or conversely, the calibration module may produce a size that is used by the classification module.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2018Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: AVIGILON ANALYTICS CORPORATIONInventors: Mahesh Saptharishi, Dimitri A. Lisin, Aleksey Lipchin, Igor Reyzin

Patent number: 10373057Abstract: Mechanisms, in a system comprising a host system and at least one accelerator device, for performing a concept analysis operation are provided. The host system extracts a set of one or more concepts from an information source and provides the set of one or more concepts to the accelerator device. The host system also provides at least one matrix representation data structure representing a graph of concepts and relationships between concepts in a corpus. The accelerator device executes the concept analysis operation internal to the accelerator device to generate an output vector identifying concepts in the corpus, identified in the at least one matrix representation data structure, related to the set of one or more concepts extracted from the information source. The accelerator device outputs the output vector to the host system which utilizes the output vector to respond to a request submitted to the host system associated with the information source.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2015Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Emrah Acar, Rajesh R. Bordawekar, Michele M. Franceschini, Luis A. Lastras-Montano, Ruchir Puri, Haifeng Qian, Livio B. Soares

Patent number: 10372231Abstract: An aircraft is provided that includes a passenger service unit for a passenger seated in a seat in its cabin. The aircraft includes a camera configured to acquire an image of the passenger, and a control module configured to at least receive the image of the passenger. The control module is configured to receive non-tactile gesture preference data and dominant hand data, and access a non-tactile gesture data store that includes a plurality of images of non-tactile hand signals or non-tactile hand gestures. Based on the foregoing, the control module is configured to generate non-tactile gesture data in accordance with and indicative of a non-tactile hand signal or a non-tactile gesture made by the passenger. And the control module is configured to control one or more cabin systems including in at least one instance the passenger service unit based on the non-tactile gesture data.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2018Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: James P. Schalla, Calsee N. Robb, William A. Harkness, Buddy L. Sharpe, Heidi J. Kneller

Patent number: 10339670Abstract: A tool in a scene is detected using one or more cameras by dividing an image into patches. Multiple different patch sizes are used in conjunction with deep learning to identify the tool in the image. After the tool is identified, a position of the tool in three dimensions is calculated using images from two or more cameras.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2017Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: Trimble Inc.Inventors: Kent Kahle, Changlin Xiao

Patent number: 10332274Abstract: A surveillance system and method are provided. The surveillance system includes an image capture device configured to capture a video sequence of a target area that includes a set of objects and is formed from a set of image frames. The surveillance system also includes a processor. The processor is configured to detect the objects to form object detections, and track the object detections over the frames to form tracked detections. The processor is further configured to generate for a current input frame, responsive to conditions, a set of sparse object proposals for a current location of an object based on: (i) the tracked detections of the object from an immediately previous frame; and (ii) detection proposals for the object derived from the current frame. The processor is additionally configured to provide a user perceptible indication of the current location of the object, based on the sparse object proposals.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2017Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Samuel Schulter, Wongun Choi, Bharat Singh, Manmohan Chandraker

Patent number: 10331944Abstract: Technologies for dynamic performance of image analysis are disclosed. When a camera captures one or more images, context data such as data indicative of motion of the camera is captured as well. The context data is used to determine an image analysis parameter for an image analysis procedure to be performed on the one or more images. The image analysis parameter may dictate which image analysis procedure is to be performed and/or provide input to the image analysis procedure.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2015Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: INTEL CorporationInventors: Glen J. Anderson, Michael E. Kounavis, Omesh Tickoo

Patent number: 10321153Abstract: A system constructs an optical flow field that corresponds with a selected video frame. The optical flow field is constructed based on a first motion of a mobile platform having an imaging device and a status of the imaging device. The first motion and the status are determined with measurements of sensors installed on the mobile platform and/or the imaging device installed on the mobile platform. The first motion includes at least one of a first rotation, a horizontal movement, or a vertical movement of the mobile platform. The status includes a rotation of the imaging device and/or an orientation of the imaging device relative to the mobile platform.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2017Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: SZ DJI TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventor: Yannan Wu

Patent number: 10187610Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an input unit and a control unit. The input unit inputs a first image that is captured by a first imaging apparatus that sets a first imaging space as an imaging target, and a second image that is captured by a second imaging apparatus that sets a second imaging space different from the first imaging space as an imaging target and switched to/from the first image and displayed. The control unit outputs, when the first and second images are switched to each other, a switching moving image reflecting positional relevance between the first and second imaging spaces.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2013Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: QiHong Wang, Kenichi Okada, Ken Miyashita, Akemi Tazaki
