    Abstract: This application describes techniques for providing computer vision for manual services. In some instances, a remote system may determine that a current time is within a threshold period of time of a scheduled service and, based on the determination, send a first message requesting image data to a camera apparatus located within an environment. After sending the first message, the remote system may receive image data associated with the environment from the camera apparatus and use the image to detect an object within the environment. The remote system can then send a second message to a device of a guest and a third message to a device of a user, where each of the second message and the third message indicates that the object is within the environment. In some instances, the object can include an animal while in some instances, the object can include a person.

    Abstract: A system configured to improve human presence detection and/or localization by generating aggregate confidence values. The system may aggregate confidence values corresponding to overlapping regions of interest. The system may perform human presence detection by comparing the aggregate confidence values to a universal threshold, with aggregate confidence values above the universal threshold indicating that human presence is detected. The system may use the aggregate confidence values to generate a heatmap, may identify a strongest cluster of pixels in the heatmap and determine a bounding box surrounding the strongest cluster. To distinguish the strongest cluster from a second strongest cluster of pixels, the system may apply a Gaussian kernel with varying threshold values. The system may store the threshold value at which the strongest cluster separates from the second strongest cluster and may use the threshold value to generate the bounding box.

    Abstract: Various embodiments provide a method of enhancing images in low lighting conditions wherein a color image is captured with a color camera, a first monochromatic image is captured with a first monochromatic camera, and a second monochromatic image is captured with a second monochromatic camera. Image registration is performed to align the first and second monochromatic images and the luminance information from the registered monochromatic images is fused with chrominance information from the color image.

    Abstract: Techniques are generally described for object detection in image data. A first frame of image data associated with a first domain is received by a detector executing on at least one computing device. The detector generates a first feature data in the first domain. The first feature data is transformed from the first domain into a second feature data in a second domain. The detector may be effective to detect objects in the second domain. A location of an object in the first frame of image data is determined based at least in part on the second feature data.

    Abstract: Techniques are generally described for suppressing video streaming based on trajectory information. First video data captured at a first time may be received from a first camera device. A determination may be made that the first video data includes image data representing a previously-identified human. A determination may be made that first trajectory data associates movement of the previously-identified human with the first camera device at the first time. A signal may be sent to a second camera device. The signal may be effective to suppress streaming of video captured by the second camera device during a second time following the first time.

    Abstract: This application describes techniques for providing computer vision-based surveillance of in-home services. In some instances, a remote system may authenticate a guest at an environment using data that the remote system receives from a camera apparatus. To authenticate the guest, the remote system can determine that an identification of the guest matches an identification of a worker associated with a scheduled service at the environment. When the scheduled service includes an in-home delivery, the remote system can further determine that a package in possession of the guest matches an item for the scheduled in-home delivery. In some instances, after the guest enters the environment, the remote system can further monitor the environment to ensure that the guest stays within a designated location of the environment. The remote system can further send a message to an electronic device when the guest is outside of the designated location.

The system may aggregate confidence values corresponding to overlapping regions of interest. The system may perform human presence detection by comparing the aggregate confidence values to a universal threshold, with aggregate confidence values above the universal threshold indicating that human presence is detected. The system may use the aggregate confidence values to generate a heatmap, may identify a strongest cluster of pixels in the heatmap and determine a bounding box surrounding the strongest cluster. To reduce false positive detections, the system may track the false positive detections as heatmap base data and may remove the heatmap base data from the heatmap. Thus, pixel intensity values corresponding to the false positive detections may be reduced to improve an accuracy of the human presence detection.
