20090297023 | VIDEO SEGMENTATION USING STATISTICAL PIXEL MODELING - A method for segmenting video data into foreground and background ( | 12-03-2009 |
20100165112 | AUTOMATIC EXTRACTION OF SECONDARY VIDEO STREAMS - The automatic generation ( | 07-01-2010 |
20130182114 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING A RETAIL ENVIRONMENT USING VIDEO CONTENT ANALYSIS WITH DEPTH SENSING - A method and system for monitoring a retail environment by performing video content analysis based on two-dimensional image data and depth data are disclosed. Accuracy in customer actions to provide assistance, change marketing behavior, safety and theft, for example, is increase by analyzing video containing two-dimensional image data and associated depth data. Height data may be obtained from depth data to assist in object detection, object classification (e.g., detection a customer or inventory) and/or event detection. | 07-18-2013 |
20130182904 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VIDEO CONTENT ANALYSIS USING DEPTH SENSING - A method and system for performing video content analysis based on two-dimensional image data and depth data are disclosed. Video content analysis may be performed on the two-dimensional image data, and then the depth data may be used along with the results of the video content analysis of the two-dimensional data for tracking and event detection. | 07-18-2013 |
20130182905 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BUILDING AUTOMATION USING VIDEO CONTENT ANALYSIS WITH DEPTH SENSING - A method and system for monitoring buildings (including houses and office buildings) by performing video content analysis based on two-dimensional image data and depth data are disclosed. Occupation and use of such buildings may be monitored with higher accuracy to provide higher energy efficiency usage, to control operation of components therein, and/or provide better security.. Height data may be obtained from depth data to provide greater reliability in object detection, object classification and/or event detection. | 07-18-2013 |
20130184592 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HOME HEALTH CARE MONITORING - A home health care monitoring method and system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes: capturing a plurality of video sequences from a plurality of respective cameras disposed in different locations within a patient's home, including capturing two-dimensional image data and depth data for each video sequence; defining a plurality of events to monitor associated with the patient, the events including, during a predetermined time period, at least (1) the patient's body being in a particular position for at least a predetermined amount of time; performing depth-enhanced video content analysis on the plurality of video sequences to determine whether the event (1) has occurred. The video content analysis may include: for each of at least two cameras: automatically detecting a human object based on the two-dimensional image data; using the depth data to confirm whether the human object is in the particular position; and based on the confirmation, tracking an amount of time that the human object is in the particular position; and then determining that the event (1) has occurred based on the collective tracked amount of time. | 07-18-2013 |
20130242095 | VIDEO SEGMENTATION USING STATISTICAL PIXEL MODELING - A method for segmenting video data into foreground and background portions utilizes statistical modeling of the pixels. A statistical model of the background is built for each pixel, and each pixel in an incoming video frame is compared with the background statistical model for that pixel. Pixels are determined to be foreground or background based on the comparisons. The method for segmenting video data may be further incorporated into a method for implementing an intelligent video surveillance system. The method for segmenting video data may be implemented in hardware. | 09-19-2013 |
20130278764 | VIEW HANDLING IN VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS - A content analysis engine receives video input and performs analysis of the video input to produce one or more gross change primitives. A view engine coupled to the content analysis engine receives the one or more gross change primitives from the content analysis engine and provides view identification information. A rules engine coupled to the view engine receives the view identification information from the view engine and provides one or more rules based on the view identification information. An inference engine performs video analysis based on the one or more rules provided by the rules engine and the one or more gross change primitives. | 10-24-2013 |

20150066919 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING CROWD-SOURCED MULTIMEDIA ITEMS - Systems, methods, and computer applications and media for gathering, categorizing, sorting, managing, reviewing and organizing large quantities of multimedia items across space and time and using crowd-sourcing resources are described. Various implementations may enable either public or private (e.g., internal to an organization) crowdsourcing of multimedia item gathering and analysis, including the gathering, analysis, lead-searching, and classification of digital still images and digital videos. Various implementations may allow a user, such as a law enforcement investigator, to consolidate all of the available multimedia items into one system, and quickly gather, sort, organize, and display the multimedia items based on location, time, content, or other parameters. Moreover, an investigator may be able to create crowd source tasks as he works with the multimedia items and utilize crowd source resources when he needs help. | 03-05-2015 |
