A method, apparatus, and computer program product for joint kinematic and feature tracking are presented. Kinematic measurements and feature/class measurements regarding an object are received from a sensor. A probabilistic argumentation operation is performed on the feature/class measurements using information from a knowledge base and a track file ect to generate feature track likelihood scores regarding likely tracks for the object. Kinematic track likelihood scores are generated based on the kinematic measurements and the track file. Joint track likelihood scores are generated based on the feature track likelihood scores and the kinematic track likelihood scores. Joint track likelihood scores are used to generate a multi-frame track measurement association to determine a most likely track for the object. The track file is continually updated with the most likely track for the object, so that the most likely trajectory of the object is obtained.

Described is a bio-inspired vision system for attention and object segmentation capable of computing attention for a natural scene, attending to regions in a scene in their rank of saliency, and extracting the boundary of an attended proto-object based on feature contours to segment the attended object. The attention module can work in both a bottom-up and a top-down mode, the latter allowing for directed searches for specific targets. The region growing module allows for object segmentation that has been shown to work under a variety of natural scenes that would be problematic for traditional object segmentation algorithms. The system can perform at multiple scales of object extraction and possesses a high degree of automation. Lastly, the system can be used by itself for stand-alone searching for salient objects in a scene, or as the front-end of an object recognition and online labeling system.

A video detection and monitoring method and apparatus utilizes an application-specific object based segmentation and recognition system for locating and tracking an object of interest within a number of sequential frames of data collected by a video camera or similar device. One embodiment includes a background modeling and object segmentation module to isolate from a current frame at least one segment of the current frame containing a possible object of interest, and a classification module adapted to determine whether or not any segment of the output from the background modeling apparatus includes an object of interest and to characterize any such segment as an object segment. An object segment tracking apparatus is adapted to track the location within a current frame of any object segment and to determine a projected location of the object segment in a subsequent frame.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for estimation of vehicle forward path geometry utilizing an adaptive Kalman filter bank and a two-clothoid road model. The invention provides that each of a plurality of Kalman filters, utilizing the latest available measurement vector Yk at time k, estimates the state vector Xk and error covariance matrix Pk. The outputs of filter 504a, 504b, and 504c denoted as as Xkj and Pkj, are provided to a plurality of weighting elements, which calculate weight factors, Wkj 506a, 506b, and 506c for each filter. The weight factor of each filter is the probability that the upcoming road geometry matches the road model hypothesized in the filter. After being assigned a weighted value, the weighted value road models are fused in a fusion element 508, and a weighted output road geometry model is provided.

摘要:
A method and system of a sparse sampling planner uses a finite number of measurements to determine a track's expected intermediate kinematic and classification state for a specific sensor action. It uses the expected track state to compute a reward function. The expected states are further propagated for actions at the next time step to determine the next states and so on. The sampling becomes sparse and the reward function is discounted as one propagates further in time. This produces a state-action tree that is more top-heavy while providing greater accuracy at times closer to the decision point. By doing so, the planner creates a plan comprising a sequence of actions that result in the highest reward. By employing various heuristics to further prune the tree gives highly accurate results with significant savings in computational processor time.

An apparatus and method provides application specific multidimensional information to an application running on a user computing device from a plurality of member documents electronically extracted from a library of electronically searchable documents. An information extractor is adapted to extract occurrences of prospective representations of dimensions of application specific multidimensional information and occurrences of non-application specific multidimensional information from the member documents. Also, an encoder is adapted to encode the occurrences of prospective dimensions of application specific and non-application specific multidimensional information contained in member documents. A member document identifier determines document formatting and decides whether to proceed with further processing. An information verification unit optionally verifies the extraction of application specific multidimensional information from the member documents. A database optionally stores and provides access to the application specific multidimensional information, which may for example be scheduled events having dimensions of time, location, identity.
