Abstract:
A system and method for detecting a waving motion from a sequence of ordered points is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprising receiving a sequence of ordered points, selecting a subset of the sequence of ordered points, determining if the subset defines a circular shape, and storing an indication of whether or not the subset defines a waving motion. Various metrics for determining if the subset defines a waving motion, which allow for a trade-off between accuracy and complexity, are disclosed.

Systems and methods for estimating the centers of moving objects in a video sequence are disclose. One embodiment is a method of defining one or more motion centers in a video sequence, the method comprising receiving a video sequence comprising a plurality of frames, receiving a motion history image for each of a subset of the plurality of frames based on the video sequence, identifying, through use of the motion history image, one or more data segments having a first orientation, wherein each data segment having the first orientation has a start location and a length, identifying, one or more data segments having a second orientation, wherein each element of a data segment having the second orientation is associated with a data segment having the first orientation, and defining a corresponding motion center for one or more of the indentified data segments having the second orientation.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for classifying a object as belonging to an object class or not belonging to an object class using a boosting method with a plurality of thresholds is disclosed. One embodiment is a method of defining a strong classifier, the method comprising receiving a training set of positive and negative samples, receiving a set of features, associating, for each of a first subset of the set of features, a corresponding feature value with each of a first subset of the training set, associating a corresponding weight with each of a second subset of the training set, iteratively i) determining, for each of a second subset of the set of features, a first threshold value at which a first metric is minimized, ii) determining, for each of a third subset of the set of features, a second threshold value at which a second metric is minimized, iii) determining, for each of a forth subset of the set of features, a number of thresholds, iv) determining, for each of a fifth subset of the set of features, an error value based on the determined number of thresholds, v) determining the feature having the lowest associated error value, and vi) updating the weights, defining a strong classifier based on the features having the lowest error value at a plurality of iterations, and classifying a sample as either belonging to an object class or not belonging to an object class based on the strong classifier.
Abstract:
A system and method combine digital television together with a digital video camera and controller unit for using a digital video camera together with a digital television set as a home security system that allows stranger detection, fire detection, motion detection, etc. The detection results are used to make further decisions such as display or record some of the scenes.
Abstract:
A super precision image processing system improves the precision of videos and images and eliminates the stage-like artifacts in the smoothly changing areas. In order to obtain higher precision content, the system segments the input image into connected segments and finds a local support for each pixel based on the segmentation result. The system then applies low-pass filtering to the local support for each pixel and the luminance changes between the filtering result and the original luminance of the pixel are limited to a level such that the output image will have the same higher bits as the input image.
Abstract:
A color quantization method in RGB color space which preserves high precision of luminance information in an original high precision RGB image signal which is quantized to a lower precision (lower bit depth) RGB signal. The method can be used to convert the original RGB signal to arbitrary quantization levels in RGB space.

Abstract:
An active depth detection system can generate a depth map from an image and user interaction data, such as a pair of clicks. The active depth detection system can be implemented as a recurrent neural network that can receive the user interaction data as runtime inputs after training. The active depth detection system can store the generated depth map for further processing, such as image manipulation or real-world object detection.
