摘要:
A computer implemented method for detecting the presence of one or more pedestrians in the vicinity of the vehicle is disclosed. Imagery of a scene is received from at least one image capturing device. A depth map is derived from the imagery. A plurality of pedestrian candidate regions of interest (ROIs) is detected from the depth map by matching each of the plurality of ROIs with a 3D human shape model. At least a portion of the candidate ROIs is classified by employing a cascade of classifiers tuned for a plurality of depth bands and trained on a filtered representation of data within the portion of candidate ROIs to determine whether at least one pedestrian is proximal to the vehicle.

A computer implemented method for automatically detecting and classifying acoustic signatures across a set of recording conditions is disclosed. A first acoustic signature is received. The first acoustic signature is projected into a space of a minimal set of exemplars of acoustic signature types derived from a larger set of exemplars using a wrapper method. At least one vector distance is calculated between the projected acoustic signature and each exemplar of the minimal set of exemplars. An exemplar is selected from the minimal set of exemplars having the smallest vector distance to the projected acoustic signature as a class corresponding to and classifying the first acoustic signature. The first acoustic signature and the plurality of acoustic signatures may correspond to one of gunshots, musical instruments, songs, and speech. The minimal set of exemplars may correspond to a hierarchy of acoustic signature types.

A computer implemented method for determining a vehicle type of a vehicle detected in an image is disclosed. An image having a detected vehicle is received. A number of vehicle models having salient feature points is projected on the detected vehicle. A first set of features derived from each of the salient feature locations of the vehicle models is compared to a second set of features derived from corresponding salient feature locations of the detected vehicle to form a set of positive match scores (p-scores) and a set of negative match scores (n-scores). The detected vehicle is classified as one of the vehicle models models based at least in part on the set of p-scores and the set of n-scores.

A method and system for coordinated tracking of objects is disclosed. A plurality of images is received from a plurality of nodes, each node comprising at least one image capturing device. At least one target in the plurality of images is identified to produce at least one local track corresponding to each of the plurality of nodes having the at least one target in its field of view. The at least one local track corresponding to each of the plurality of nodes is fused according to a multi-hypothesis tracking method to produce at least one fused track corresponding to the at least one target. At least one of the plurality of nodes is assigned to track the at least one target based on minimizing at least one cost function comprising a cost matrix using the k-best algorithm for tracking at least one target for each of the plurality of nodes. The at least one fused track is sent to the at least one of the plurality of nodes assigned to track the at least one target based on the at least one fused track.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for accurately computing parallax information as captured by imagery of a scene. The method computes the parallax information of each point in an image by computing the parallax within windows that are offset with respect to the point for which the parallax is being computed. Additionally, parallax computations are performed over multiple frames of imagery to ensure accuracy of the parallax computation and to facilitate correction of occluded imagery.

A method and system for creating a histogram of oriented occurrences (HO2) is disclosed. A plurality of entities in at least one image are detected and tracked. One of the plurality of entities is designated as a reference entity. A local 2-dimensional ground plane coordinate system centered on and oriented with respect to the reference entity is defined. The 2-dimensional ground plane is partitioned into a plurality of non-overlapping bins, the bins forming a histogram, a bin tracking a number of occurrences of an entity class. An occurrence of at least one other entity of the plurality of entities located in the at least one image may be associated with one of the plurality of non-overlapping bins. A number of occurrences of entities of at least one entity class in at least one bin may be into a vector to define an HO2 feature.

A computer-implemented method comprising collecting data from a plurality of information sources, identifying a geographic location associated with the data and forming a corresponding event according to the geographic location, correlating the data and the event with one or more topics based at least partly on the identified geographic location and storing the correlated data and event and inferring the associated geographic location if the data does not comprise explicit location information, including matching the data against a database of geo-referenced data.

A method and apparatus for determining a geographic location of a scene in a captured depiction comprising extracting a first set of features from the captured depiction by algorithmically analyzing the captured depiction, matching the extracted features of the captured depiction against a second set of extracted features associated with reference depictions with known geographic locations and when the matching is successful, identifying the geographic location of the scene in the captured depiction based on a known geographic location of a matching reference depiction from the reference depictions.
