    Abstract: Methods and systems for parking lot occupancy determination. Video of an entrance to a parking lot (or other facility) can be acquired utilizing one or more video cameras focusing on a pre-defined vision-based region of interest and a pre-defined video-based region of interest. The video can be video processed via a classifier that is pre-trained to take into account potential camera shake disturbances to generate video output data thereof. The video output data can then be trajectory smoothed. The video output data (following trajectory smoothing) can then be analyzed for parking lot occupancy data such that the impact of camera shake with respect to the video camera(s) is minimized to determine parking lot occupancy.

    Abstract: A video-based teaching aid system and method. Video images are recorded of at least some of a plurality of people in a classroom setting by use of a video camera arrangement. Expressions of the people in the video images are identified by use of an expression recognition module configured to receive the video images from the video camera arrangement. The identified expressions of the people in the video images are correlated with at least one of an event or an outcome of an event occurring in a classroom setting by use of a correlation module. The results of the correlating are outputted by an output device.

    Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product for processing a plurality of electronic documents are provided. The method includes marking at least one area in an electronic document selected from the plurality of electronic documents. The marked at least one area is then matched with corresponding area in the remaining electronic documents of the plurality of electronic documents. A score is computed for each of the remaining electronic documents of the plurality of electronic documents based on the matching. The plurality of electronic documents is then grouped into one or more groups based on the score.

    Abstract: A computer-vision based method for validating an activity workflow of a human performer includes identifying a target activity. The method includes determining an expected sequence of actions associated with the target activity. The method includes receiving a video stream from an image capture device monitoring an activity performed by an associated human performer. The method includes determining an external cue in the video stream. The method includes associating a frame capturing the external cue as a first frame in a key frame sequence. The method includes determining an action being performed by the associated human performer in the key frame sequence. In response to determining the action in the key frame sequence matching an expected action in the target activity, the method includes verifying the action as being performed in the monitored activity. In response to not determining the action in the key frame sequence, the method includes generating an alert indicating an error in the monitored activity.

    Abstract: What is disclosed is a wireless cellular device capable of determining a volume of an object in an image captured by a camera of that apparatus. In one embodiment, the present wireless cellular device comprises an illuminator for projecting a pattern of structured light with known spatial characteristics, and a camera for capturing images of an object for which a volume is to be estimated. The camera is sensitive to a wavelength range of the projected pattern of structured light. A spatial distortion is introduced by a reflection of the projected pattern off a surface of the object. And processor executing machine readable program instructions for performing the method of: receiving an image of the object from the camera; processing the image to generate a depth map; and estimating a volume of the object from the depth map.

    Abstract: A method and system for efficient non-persistent object motion detection comprises evaluating a video segment to identify at least two first pixel classes corresponding to a plurality of stationary pixels and a plurality of pixels in apparent motion, and evaluating the video segment to identify at least two second pixel classes corresponding to a background and a foreground indicative of the presence of a non-persistent object. The first pixel classes and the second pixel classes can be combined to define a final motion mask in the selected video segment indicative of the presence of a non-persistent object. An output can provide an indication that the object is in motion.
