20100007740Statistical modeling and performance characterization of a real-time dual camera surveillance system - The present invention relates to a method for visually detecting and tracking an object through a space. The method chooses modules for a restricting a search function within the space to regions with a high probability of significant change, the search function operating on images supplied by a camera. The method also derives statistical models for errors, including quantifying an indexing step performed by an indexing module, and tuning system parameters. Further the method applies a likelihood model for candidate hypothesis evaluation and object parameters estimation for locating the object.01-14-2010

20090148046ERROR PROPOGATION AND VARIABLE-BANDWIDTH MEAN SHIFT FOR FEATURE SPACE ANALYSIS - The present invention comprises using error propagation for building feature spaces with variable uncertainty and using variable-bandwidth mean shift for the analysis of such spaces, to provide peak detection and space partitioning. The invention applies these techniques to construct and analyze Hough spaces for line and geometrical shape detection, as well as to detect objects that are represented by peaks in the Hough space. This invention can be further used for background modeling by taking into account the uncertainty of the transformed image color and uncertainty of the motion flow. Furthermore, the invention can be used to segment video data in invariant spaces, by propagating the uncertainty from the original space and using the variable-bandwidth mean shift to detect peaks. The invention can be used in a variety of applications such as medical, surveillance, monitoring, automotive, augmented reality, and inspection.06-11-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090062641Method and system for catheter detection and tracking in a fluoroscopic image sequence - A method and system for detecting and tracking an ablation catheter tip in a fluoroscopic image sequence is disclosed. Catheter tip candidates are detected in each frame of the fluoroscopic image sequence using marginal space learning. The detected catheter tip candidates are then tracked over all the frames of the fluoroscopic image sequence in order to determine an ablation catheter tip location in each frame.03-05-2009

20080279420VIDEO AND AUDIO MONITORING FOR SYNDROMIC SURVEILLANCE FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASES - We present, in exemplary embodiments of the present invention, novel systems and methods for syndromic surveillance that can automatically monitor symptoms that may be associated with the early presentation of a syndrome (e.g., fever, coughing, sneezing, runny nose, sniffling, rashes). Although not so limited, the novel surveillance systems described herein can be placed in common areas occupied by a crowd of people, in accordance with local and national laws applicable to such surveillance. Common areas may include public areas (e.g., an airport, train station, sports arena) and private areas (e.g., a doctor's waiting room). The monitored symptoms may be transmitted to a responder (e.g., a person, an information system) outside of the surveillance system, such that the responder can take appropriate action to identifying, treat and quarantine potentially infected individuals, as necessary.11-13-2008
