Each value indicates a degree that the feature is present in the image region. The image driver generates a sample vector from each of the feature vectors. The sample vector includes each of the values included in the generated feature vectors.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2018Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Intellective Ai, Inc.Inventors: Kishor Adinath Saitwal, Lon W.

Patent number: 10839254Abstract: Implementations of the disclosure provide a method comprising generating, by a processing device, a group repository in view of a plurality of image repositories comprising image manifests. An image manifest comprising an application image and an image platform specifier specifying platform resources for executing the application image from the image repositories is identified. The image manifest is clustered into one or more group members of the group repository in view of the image platform specifier. Each group member references at least a key and a value associated with the key. The key references the image manifest and the value references a manifest list describing a plurality of platforms to execute the application image associated with the image manifest. Thereupon, a data object to redirect a client device to a location comprising the one or more group members of the group repository is published.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2019Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Tim Waugh, Jindrich Luza

Patent number: 10789478Abstract: Users desiring to generate videos from video clips may want to locate moments of interest within the video clips. A system and method described herein may be configured to provide recommendations of moments of interest within video clips post capture of the video clips. User accounts associated with users of the system may include preference information that defines user preferences with respect to values of attributes of video clips. Moments of interest may be identified within individual video clips when the individual video clips have at least one value of at least one attribute specified by the user preferences. Recommendations of identified moments of interest may be provide to users.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2019Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventors: Joven Matias, Ha Phan

Patent number: 10777228Abstract: Feature information characterize features of video clips may be obtained. A given video clip may be selected as a segment of a video edit. Other video clips may be iteratively selected as other segments of the video edit based on the feature information of the video clips and recommended feature information of the segments. Recommended feature information of a particular segment may be obtained by processing feature information of a previously selected video clip through a trained recurrent neural network. Video edit information defining the video edit may be generated. The video edit may include the selected video clips as the segments of the video edit.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2018Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: GoPro, Inc.Inventor: Samuel Wilson

Patent number: 10769192Abstract: A method for determining a longest common subsequence in a plurality of text strings. The method comprises: separately converting a plurality of text strings into word sequences (S100); classifying the word sequences (S400); and performing longest common subsequence computation on every class (S500). The time needed by LCS computation can be saved by classifying text strings.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2016Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: BEIJING HANSIGHT TECH CO., LTD.Inventors: Xiaochuan Wan, Hanzhao Gao

Patent number: 10733483Abstract: A method includes: receiving training data comprising a plurality of training data items, each training data item labelled under a respective class and comprising a elements arranged in conformity with a structured representation having an associated coordinate system; determining patches of the training data, each patch comprising a subset of the elements of a respective training data item and being associated with a location within the co-ordinate system of the structured representation; and initialising a set of parameters for a Gaussian process. The method further includes iteratively: processing pairs of the determined patches, using a patch response kernel to determine patch response data; determining, using the patch response data, entries of a covariance matrix; and updating the set of parameters in dependence on the determined entries of the covariance matrix.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2020Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: PROWLER.IO LIMITEDInventors: James Hensman, Mark Van Der Wilk, Vincent Dutordoir

Patent number: 10706265Abstract: In an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) recognizes a set of faces within a set of media files stored on the UE using facial recognition. The UE identifies a set of prevalent faces based on a set of criteria including a prevalence of one or more faces among the set of media files. The UE scans real-time media using facial recognition to determine whether any prevalent faces from the set of prevalent faces are present in the real-time media. The UE performs an action based on whether the scanning detects any prevalent faces from the set of prevalent faces in the real-time media. By way of example, the action may include adding one or more enhancement effects to the real-time media, authorizing a communicative operation to proceed, authorizing access to the UE, or any combination thereof.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2017Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventor: Kameron Kerger
