20090150517 | MUTLIMEDIA FILE UPLOAD - A method of handling multimedia data, is described, in which packets of a multimedia file from a first computer are received by a second computer. In case, a sub-portion of the multimedia file, representative of the multimedia file, was received by the second computer, before the entire file was received by the second computer, that sub portion is handled by the second computer transmitting to the first computer or to a third computer a result of the handling of the sub-portion, although the entire file was not received by the second computer at the time of the transmission of the result. Additionally, an image processing server is described comprising: a network interface adapted to receive packets, a communication manager adapted to manage reception of multimedia files through the input interface and to conclude when a sub-portion of a multimedia file, representative of the multimedia file received, and an image handling unit configured to handle said sub-portions. | 06-11-2009 |
20100064254 | OBJECT SEARCH AND NAVIGATION METHOD AND SYSTEM - A computer implemented method of presenting visual content items, comprising: grouping the visual content items according to predefined similarity rules relating to visual characteristics of the visual content items such that each group has a range for the number of its members; selecting a representative visual content item for each group; presenting the representative visual content item of each group that has a minimal number of members above a predefined threshold; and optionally presenting the visual content items alongside the representative visual content items. The grouping may be carried out by using predefined color groups; by using predefined shape groups; or using Keypoints of the visual content items, and relate to groups of human faces, product images and landscape images. | 03-11-2010 |
20120185393 | SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR AUTOMATICALLY ANALYZING CURRENCY OBJECTS - A method, system, and computer program product for analyzing images of visual objects, such as currency and payment cards, captured on a mobile device in determining their authenticity, and total amount of value. The system may be used in verifying the authenticity of hard currency, to count the total amount of the currency captured in one or more images, and to convert the currency using real time monetary exchange rates. The mobile device may also be used to verify the identity of a credit card user utilizing images of the card holder's face and signature, name on the card, card number, card signature, and card security code. Computerized content analysis of the captured images on the mobile devices as compared to images stored on a database facilitates a merchant processing a customer's payment and a financial institute accepting a cash deposit. | 07-19-2012 |
20120194681 | AUTOMATIC CONTENT ANALYSIS METHOD AND SYSTEM - A method of analyzing images over time is provided herein. The method includes: capturing a plurality of images each associated with specified objects in specified locations such that a specified area is covered; specifying regions of interest (ROI) in each of the captured images; repeating the capturing with at least one of: a different location, a different orientation, and a different timing such that the captured images are associated with the specified covered area; and comparing the captured imaged produced in the capturing with the captured imaged produced in the repeating of the capturing to yield comparison between the captured objects by comparing specified ROI. | 08-02-2012 |
20120265761 | SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR BUILDING A CATALOG USING VISUAL OBJECTS - A method comprising, clustering a plurality of records, each record comprises at least one object image and at least one textual field associated with the object, to yield a plurality of clusters such that the object images in each cluster exhibit between them a visual similarity above a specified value; associating each cluster with a label by applying a dictionary function to the textual fields of each cluster, wherein the label reflects a common semantic factor of the textual fields of each cluster, and the factor has a value above a specified threshold. Accordingly, the visual similarity provides a measure of resemblances between two visual objects that can be based on at least one of: the fit between their color distribution such as correlation between their HSV color histograms, the fit between their texture, the fit between their shapes, the correlation between this edge histograms, and face similarity. | 10-18-2012 |
20140111647 | AUTOMATIC IMAGE CONTENT ANALYSIS METHOD AND SYSTEM - A system and method for analyzing and wirelessly transmitting information in real-time, comprising capturing snapshots and videos, by utilizing for example a smartphone. The images are analyzed in conjunction with other system data to provide the user: 3 dimensional images, GPS coordinates, safety alerts, etc. In particular, the system is mountable within a vehicle interior to provide: road conditions, dangerous driving situations, the make/model/manufacturer of surrounding cars, GPS coordinates, and the identity of local businesses. The user may also share the information via wireless transmissions with surrounding users possessing the same system, such as for real-time video gaming systems. And the system may also be detached from the vehicle for use in other scenarios, such as searching a merchant database for matching items and wirelessly sending the information to other system users. | 04-24-2014 |
20140270509 | SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR AUTOMATICALLY FINDING OBJECTS OF A SPECIFIC COLOR - A computer implemented method, system and computer program product for identifying the Main Colors and the matching colors of a visual object, and then viewing on a mobile device select items comprising the matching colors, such as from a merchant's catalogue. A visual object is analyzed for color content, and the results are stored on a system database located on the device or on a remote server. The color analysis of the objects comprise advanced image processing techniques, such as Main Color extraction using color space transformation comprising HSV, RGB and CYMK to map between pixels in the image. The user can subsequently view a display on their mobile identifying the visual object's Main Colors and at least one Harmonic Color; and then select and view all items (i.e. products in a database) comprising one Harmonic Color, and/or all items of a specific type and Harmonic Color. | 09-18-2014 |
20150193885 | CONTINUOUS IDENTITY MONITORING FOR CLASSIFYING DRIVING DATA FOR DRIVING PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS - Embodiments are provided for determining driving behavior. In an example method for determining driver behavior from a driving session, the method includes obtaining sensor data from a sensor during a driving session, obtaining image data from an imaging device during the driving session, and analyzing at least one of the sensor data and the image data from the driving session, to identify an event of interest. The method further includes assigning a classification to the event of interest according to a correlation between the sensor data for the event of interest and at least one image from the image data for the event of interest, the correlation based on time the sensor data and the image data is obtained during the driving session, and, wherein the at least one image for the event of interest provides the context for the event of interest. | 07-09-2015 |
20150194035 | ALERT GENERATION CORRELATING BETWEEN HEAD MOUNTED IMAGING DATA AND EXTERNAL DEVICE - A method of alerting a vehicle's driver. The method comprises receiving an azimuth value indicating a gazing direction of a head of the driver from a primary device placed on the driver, receiving a vehicle bearing value indicating a vehicle moving direction of the vehicle driven by the driver, calculating an angular difference between the azimuth value and the vehicle bearing value, generating an alert when the angular difference deviates from an angular threshold, and automatically presenting the alert to the driver in response to the angular difference. | 07-09-2015 |
