    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for autonomously detecting and reporting anomalies in actions of an autonomous mobile node, or in behaviors of a swarm of autonomous mobile nodes to an operator. The autonomous mobile node may experience anomalies or unexpected situations due to various failures or external influence (e.g. natural weather phenomena, enemy threats). During a training phase a prediction model and a structured model may be established from measurement data received from one or more sensors of an autonomous mobile node or a swarm of nodes while executing an action or behavior under normal circumstances. A prediction model forecasts the expected outcome of an action or behavior, and structured model helps quantify the similarity of a learned action or behavior to the currently observed situation. Based on the measurement data applicable models can be used for an action or behavior for anomaly detection in the action or behavior.

    摘要: Music recognition is carried out by accepting a musical score of musical elements in a digital format, transforming the digital format into a composite musical data object that models the musical score, defining the key signatures in the composite musical data object probabilistically, computing start times to play musical elements in respective measures of the composite musical data object without regard to rhythmic values of other musical elements in the respective measures, and generating an output including the defined key signatures and computed start times.

    摘要: Systems and methods may provide for partitioning a plurality of training samples into a first sequential list of centroids, removing one or more repeating centroids in the first sequential list of centroids to obtain a first reduced list of centroids and generating a set of Hidden Markov Model (HMM) parameters based on the first reduced list of centroids. Additionally, a plurality of detection samples may be partitioned into a second sequential list of centroids, wherein one or more repeating centroids in the second sequential list of centroids may be removed to obtain a second reduced list of centroids. The second reduced list of centroids may be used to determine a match probability for the plurality of detection samples against the set of HMM parameters. In one example, the reduced lists of centroids lack temporal variability.

    摘要: The method includes a dictionary including a target collection defined by images that are known with a defined level of certainty to include a subject and an imposter collection defined by images of individuals other than the subject. In the method, images of an area are captured over a period of time. In respect of each image: a matching calculation is carried out, based upon a comparison of the image captured with the images in the dictionary to result in a measure of confidence that the subject is in the area; and an inference determination is made to replace one of the target collection images with a further image that is known with the defined level of certainty, the determination being a function of the measure of confidence resultant from the captured image, the measure resultant from one or more previously captured images and the associated capture times.

    摘要: A Method and System For Recognizing and Assessing Surgical Procedures from a video or series of still images is described. Evaluation of surgical techniques of residents learning skills in areas such as cataract surgery is an important aspect of the learning process. The use of videos has become common in such evaluations, but is a time consuming manual process. The present invention increases the efficiency and speed of the surgical technique evaluation process by identifying and saving only information that is relevant to the evaluation process.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed herein that enable digital images to be segmented based on a user's semantic input. In other words, given an input image of a person walking a dog adjacent to a tree, a user can simply provide the semantic input “dog” and the system will segment the dog from the other elements in the image. If the user provides other semantic input, such as “person” or “tree”, the system will segment the person or the tree, respectively, from the same image. Using semantic input advantageously eliminates any need for a user to directly interact with the input image through a tedious process of painting brush strokes, tracing boundaries, clicking target points, and/or drawing bounding boxes. Thus semantic input represents an easier and more intuitive way for users to interact with an image segmentation interface, thereby enabling novice users to take advantage of advanced image segmentation techniques.

    摘要: A method of operating a computer system to perform material recognition based on multiple features extracted from an image is described. A combination of low-level features extracted directly from the image and multiple novel mid-level features extracted from transformed versions of the image are selected and used to assign a material category to a single image. The novel mid-level features include non-reflectance based features such as the micro-texture features micro-jet and micro-SIFT and the shape feature curvature, and reflectance-based features including edge slice and edge ribbon. An augmented Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model is provided as an exemplary Bayesian framework for selecting a subset of features useful for material recognition of objects in an image.

    摘要: Aspects of the present invention include systems and methods for segmentation and recognition of action primitives. In embodiments, a framework, referred to as the Continuous Linear Dynamic System (CLDS), comprises two sets of Linear Dynamic System (LDS) models, one to model the dynamics of individual primitive actions and the other to model the transitions between actions. In embodiments, the inference process estimates the best decomposition of the whole sequence into continuous alternating between the two set of models, using an approximate Viterbi algorithm. In this way, both action type and action boundary may be accurately recognized.
