1976 results about "Change detection" patented technology

In statistical analysis, change detection or change point detection tries to identify times when the probability distribution of a stochastic process or time series changes. In general the problem concerns both detecting whether or not a change has occurred, or whether several changes might have occurred, and identifying the times of any such changes.

TV content segmentation, categorization and identification and time-aligned applications

Content segmentation, categorization and identification methods are described. Content tracking approaches are illustrated that are suitable for large scale deployment. Time-aligned applications such as multi-language selection, customized advertisements, second screen services and content monitoring applications can be economically deployed at large scales. A client performs fingerprinting, scene change detection, audio turn detection, and logo detection on incoming video and gathers database search results, logos and text to identify and segment video streams into content, promos, and commercials. A learning engine is configured to learn rules for optimal identification and segmentation at each client for each channel and program. Content sensed at the client site is tracked with reduced computation and applications are executed with timing precision. A user interface for time-aligned publishing of content and subsequent usage and interaction on one or more displays is also described.

System and Method for Automatically Importing, Refreshing, Maintaining, and Merging Contact Sets

Systems and methods for automatically importing, refreshing and maintaining corrections to a list of contacts through addition, deletion, and change detection, and for merging disparate sources of data into a single unified list of contacts, according to configurable rule sets for resolving conflicts between the merged sources' values for any given field. Record sets are compared and automatically matched without requiring a unique contact identifier or key field; new records and deleted records are detected; conflicting information for any given field in a record is resolved; and updates to a local database are applied such that any override or augmentation of the data in the local database can persist for a given record. Multiple overlapping contact data sources are merged so as to identify common records, and the data combined so as to preserve as much information as possible, while concurrently handling conflicting data as it is encountered.

Method of increasing coding efficiency and reducing power consumption by on-line scene change detection while encoding inter-frame

A system and method for on-the-fly detection of scene changes within a video stream through statistical analysis of a portion of the macroblocks comprising each video frame as they are processed using inter-frame coding. If the statistical analysis of the selected macroblocks of the current frame differs from the previous frame by exceeding predetermined thresholds, the current video frame is assumed to be a scene change. Once a scene change is detected, the remainder of the video frame is encoded as an intra-frame, intra-macroblocks, or intra slices, through implementation of one or more predetermined or adaptively adjusted quantization parameters to reduce computational complexity, decrease power consumption, and increase the resulting video image quality. As decoding is the inverse of encoding, these improvements are similarly recognized by a decoder as it decodes a resulting encoded video stream.

Methods of feature extraction of video sequences

This invention relates to methods of feature extraction from MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 compressed video sequences. The spatio-temporal compression complexity of video sequences is evaluated for feature extraction by inspecting the compressed bitstream and the complexity is used as a descriptor of the spatio-temporal characteristics of the video sequence. The spatio-temporal compression complexity measure is used as a matching criterion and can also be used for absolute indexing. Feature extraction can be accomplished in conjunction with scene change detection techniques and the combination has reasonable accuracy and the advantage of high simplicity since it is based on entropy decoding of signals in compressed form and does not require computationally expensive inverse Discrete Cosine Transformation (DCT).

Techniques are disclosed for a computer vision engine to update both a background model and thresholds used to classify pixels as depicting scene foreground or background in response to detecting that a sudden illumination changes has occurred in a sequence of video frames.

Angular velocity detector having inertial mass oscillating in rotational direction

An angular velocity detector includes a disk-shaped inertial mass supported on a substrate via driving beams and a second mass connected to the inertial mass via detecting beams. The inertial mass is oscillated in its rotational direction around a center axis (z) by an electrostatic force. When an angular velocity around a detection axis (x), which is perpendicular to the center axis (z), is imposed on the second mass while the inertial mass is oscillating, the second mass displaces in the direction parallel to the center axis (z). A capacitance between the second mass and the substrate changes according to the displacement of the second mass. The angular velocity is detected based on the changes in the capacitance. Since the driving beams allow the inertial mass to oscillate only in the rotational direction, the driving beams can be easily designed and manufactured.
