| Patent application number | Description | Published |
|---|---|---|
| 20080275830 | Annotating audio-visual data - A method of annotating audio-visual data is disclosed. The method includes detecting a plurality of facial expressions in an audience based on a stimulus, determining an emotional response to the stimulus based on the facial expressions and generating at least one annotation of the stimulus based on the determined emotional response. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090019472 | Systems and methods for pricing advertising - A system for pricing advertising includes an electronic video display disposed in an advertising venue, wherein the display is configured to display advertising; a sensor configured to sense a number of people in an audience of the electronic video display; and a processing element for determining pricing for the advertising. The pricing for the advertising is determined based on the number of people in the audience. A method of pricing advertising, the method includes determining a number of people in an audience of an electronic video display disposed at an advertising venue on which the advertising is displayed; and determining pricing of the advertising based on the number of people in the audience. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090037945 | MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION APPARATUS, METHOD OF SELECTING MULTIMEDIA CONTENT, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - Provided is a multimedia presentation apparatus comprising: | 02-05-2009 |
| 20100008549 | Increasing Face Detection Speed - Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with increasing face detection speed are described. One example method includes determining whether to control a face detection process to selectively perform a face detection in a patch in a digital image. The face detection may be based, at least in part, on determining whether the patch overlaps a face previously identified by the face detection process. The example method may also include providing a signal to control the face detection process to perform the face detection upon determining that a patch overlap does not exceed an overlap factor. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20110044545 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO INCREASE SPEED OF OBJECT DETECTION IN A DIGITAL IMAGE - Systems and methods are disclosed that determine a largest patch size to traverse a digital image, analyze the digital image to detect one or more first objects of a size approximately the same as the largest patch size, and discontinue analyzing the digital image when the digital image includes the first object(s) of a size approximately the same as the largest patch size. The patch size is decremented to progressively smaller patch sizes if the first object(s) of a size approximately the same as the largest patch size is not detected and the digital image is further analyzed to detect one or more first objects of a size approximately the same as the smaller patch size until the first object(s) are detected or the patch size is decremented below a predetermined smallest size. | 02-24-2011 |

| 20080298704 | FACE AND SKIN SENSITIVE IMAGE ENHANCEMENT - Systems and methods of face and skin sensitive image enhancement are disclosed. In one aspect, a face map that includes for each pixel of an input image a respective face probability value indicating a degree to which the pixel corresponds to a human face is calculated. A skin map that includes for each pixel of the input image a respective skin probability value indicating a degree to which the pixel corresponds to human skin is ascertained. The input image is enhanced with an enhancement level that varies pixel-by-pixel in accordance with the respective face probability values and the respective skin probability values. In another aspect, a facial content measurement value indicating a degree to which an input image contains human face content is ascertained. A tone-correction process is tuned in accordance with the facial content measurement value. The input image is enhanced in accordance with the tuned tone-correction process. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090245580 | MODIFYING PARAMETERS OF AN OBJECT DETECTOR BASED ON DETECTION INFORMATION - Embodiments of an object detection unit configured to modify parameters for one or more object detectors based on detection information are provided. | 10-01-2009 |
