Abstract: Systems and methods for determining dwell time is provided. The method includes receiving images of an area including one or more people from one or more cameras, and detecting a presence of each of the one or more people in the received images using a worker. The method further includes receiving by the worker digital facial features stored in a watch list from a master controller, and performing facial recognition and monitoring the dwell time of each of the one or more people. The method further includes determining if each of the one or more people is in the watch list or has exceeded a dwell time threshold.

Abstract: Methods and systems for deploying a video analytics system include determining one or more applications for a security system in an environment, including one or more constraints. Each functional module in a directed graph representation of one or more applications is profiled to generate one or more configurations for each functional module. The nodes of each graph representation represent functional modules of the respective application, and repeated module configurations are skipped. Resource usage for each of the one or more applications is estimated using the one or more configurations of each functional module and the one or more constraints. The one or more applications are deployed in the environment.

Abstract: A method for performing resource orchestration for microservices-based 5G applications in a dynamic, heterogenous, multi-tiered compute and network environment is presented. The method includes managing compute requirements and network requirements of a microservices-based application jointly by positioning computing nodes distributed across multiple layers, across edges and at a central cloud, identifying and modeling coupling relationships between compute and network resources for a plurality of microservices, when only application-level requirements are provided, to build coupling functions, solving a multi-objective optimization problem to identify how each of the plurality of microservices are deployed in the dynamic, heterogenous, multi-tiered compute and network environment by employing the coupling functions to jointly optimize resource usage of the compute and network resources across different compute and network slices, and deriving optimal joint network and compute resource allocation and function placement decisions.

Abstract: A method for employing a semi-supervised learning approach to improve accuracy of a small model on an edge device is presented. The method includes collecting a plurality of frames from a plurality of video streams generated from a plurality of cameras, each camera associated with a respective small model, each small model deployed in the edge device, sampling the plurality of frames to define sampled frames, performing inference to the sampled frames by using a big model, the big model shared by all of the plurality of cameras and deployed in a cloud or cloud edge, using the big model to generate labels for each of the sampled frames to generate training data, and training each of the small models with the training data to generate updated small models on the edge device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for video analysis and response include detecting face images within video streams. Noisy images are filtered from the detected face images. Batches of the remaining detected face images are clustered to generate mini-clusters, constrained by temporal locality. The mini-clusters are globally clustered to generate merged clusters formed of face images for respective people, using camera-chain information to constrain a set of the video streams being considered. Analytics are performed on the merged clusters to identify a tracked individual's movements through an environment. A response is performed to the tracked individual's movements.

Abstract: Methods and systems for face recognition and response include extracting a face image from a video stream. A pre-processed index is searched for a watchlist image that matches the face image, based on a similarity distance that is computed from a normalized similarity score to satisfy metric properties. The index of the watchlist includes similarity distances between face images stored in the watchlist. An action is performed responsive to a determination that the extracted face image matches the watchlist image.

Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling a user interface include identifying a user at a station based on facial recognition of an image of the user's face in a video stream, to match a profile for the user. At least one preference of the user is determined for the display of content, based on the matched profile. Content for the user is configured in accordance with the at least one preference. The configured content is displayed on a user interface of the station.

Abstract: Systems and methods for demographic determination using image recognition. The method includes analyzing an image with a pre-trained lightweight neural network model, where the lightweight neural network model generates a confidence value, and comparing the confidence value to a threshold value to determine if the pre-trained lightweight neural network model is sufficiently accurate. The method further includes analyzing the image with a pre-trained heavyweight neural network model for the confidence value below the threshold value, wherein the pre-trained heavyweight neural network model has above about one million trainable parameters and the pre-trained lightweight neural network model has a number of trainable parameters below one tenth the heavyweight model, and displaying demographic data to a user on a user interface, wherein the user modifies store inventory based on the demographic data.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing access include detecting a person within a region of interest in a video stream. It is determined that a clear image of the person's face is not available within the region of interest. Tracking information of the person is matched to historical face tracking information for the person in a previously captured frame. The person's face from the previously captured video frame is matched to an authentication list, responsive to detecting the person within the region of interest, to determine that the detected person is unauthorized for access. A response to the determination that the detected person is unauthorized for access is performed.
