20120263346 | VIDEO-BASED DETECTION OF MULTIPLE OBJECT TYPES UNDER VARYING POSES - Training data object images are clustered as a function of motion direction attributes and resized from respective original into same aspect ratios. Motionlet detectors are learned for each of the sets from features extracted from the resized object blobs. A deformable sliding window is applied to detect an object blob in input by varying window size, shape or aspect ratio to conform to a shape of the detected input video object blob. A motion direction of an underlying image patch of the detected input video object blob is extracted and motionlet detectors selected and applied that have similar motion directions. An object is thus detected within the detected blob and semantic attributes of an underlying image patch extracted if a motionlet detectors fires, the extracted semantic attributes available for use for searching for the detected object. | 10-18-2012 |
20120308121 | IMAGE RANKING BASED ON ATTRIBUTE CORRELATION - Images are retrieved and ranked according to relevance to attributes of a multi-attribute query through training image attribute detectors for different attributes annotated in a training dataset. Pair-wise correlations are learned between pairs of the annotated attributes from the training dataset of images. Image datasets may then be searched via the trained attribute detectors for images comprising attributes in a multi-attribute query, wherein images are retrieved from the searching that each comprise one or more of the query attributes and also in response to information from the trained attribute detectors corresponding to attributes that are not a part of the query but are relevant to the query attributes as a function of the learned plurality of pair-wise correlations. The retrieved images are ranked as a function of respective total numbers of attributes within the query subset attributes. | 12-06-2012 |

Darien CT USAANM Siddiquie; BehjatAACI College ParkAAST MDAACO USAAGP Siddiquie; Behjat College Park MD US - View-specific object detectors are learned as a function of scene geometry and object motion patterns. Motion directions are determined for object images extracted from a training dataset and collected from different camera scene viewpoints. The object images are categorized into clusters as a function of similarities of their determined motion directions, the object images in each cluster are acquired from the same camera scene viewpoint. Zenith angles are estimated for object image poses in the clusters relative to a position of a horizon in the cluster camera scene viewpoint, and azimuth angles of the poses as a function of a relation of the determined motion directions of the clustered images to the cluster camera scene viewpoint. Detectors are thus built for recognizing objects in input video, one for each of the clusters, and associated with the estimated zenith angles and azimuth angles of the poses of the respective clusters. | 01-17-2013 |

20150039542 | IMAGE RANKING BASED ON ATTRIBUTE CORRELATION - Images are retrieved and ranked according to relevance to attributes of a multi-attribute query through training image attribute detectors for different attributes annotated in a training dataset. Pair-wise correlations are learned between pairs of the annotated attributes from the training dataset of images. Image datasets may are searched via the trained attribute detectors for images comprising attributes in a multi-attribute query. The retrieved images are ranked as a function of comprising attributes that are not within the query subset plurality of attributes but are paired to one of the query subset plurality of attributes by the pair-wise correlations, wherein the ranking is an order of likelihood that the different ones of the attributes will appear in an image with the paired one of the query subset plurality of attributes. | 02-05-2015 |
