Method Of Geometric Coarsening And Segmenting Of Still Images

View page
US Patent:
7903899, Mar 8, 2011
Filed:
May 23, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/802499
Inventors:
Eitan Sharon - San Mateo CA, US
Achi Brandt - San Mateo CA, US
Asael Moshe - Sunnyvale CA, US
Assignee:
Videosurf, Inc. - San Mateo CA
International Classification:
G06K 9/44
US Classification:
382257, 382235, 382243, 382282
Abstract:
A method of processing an image reduces the number of pixels constituting the image by sequentially eliminating alternate rows and columns of pixels, the information represented by each pixel being eliminated (a “source” pixel) being redistributed into adjacent “destination” pixel locations. The redistribution is made in proportion to the similarity between the source and each destination pixel, e. g. , similarity of color and/or luminance values.

Eitan Sharon - San Mateo CA, US
Achi Brandt - San Mateo CA, US
Asael Moshe - Sunnyvale CA, US
Assignee:
Videosurf, Inc. - San Mateo CA
International Classification:
G06K 9/46
US Classification:
382232, 382274, 382275

Method Of Performing Motion-Based Object Extraction And Tracking In Video

View page
US Patent:
8379915, Feb 19, 2013
Filed:
Mar 16, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/687261
Inventors:
Eitan Sharon - San Mateo CA, US
Achi Brandt - San Mateo CA, US
Assignee:
Videosurf, Inc. - San Mateo CA
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
G06K 9/34
G06K 9/62
G06K 9/46
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
382103, 382107, 382173, 382224, 382236, 707706, 707769, 707729
Abstract:
A method of extracting objects from a video includes the identification of regions to be tracked, tracking the regions across several frames, calculating motions of the regions, and identifying new regions to be tracked. Regions of a selected frame of the video that are appropriate for tracking are selected. Tracking of the identified regions is then performed across frames subsequent to the selected frame of the video. Motions of the identified regions are calculated, and new regions for tracking are identified.

US Patent:
8488839, Jul 16, 2013
Filed:
Mar 16, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/687341
Inventors:

Assignee:
Videosurf, Inc. - San Mateo CA
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
G06K 9/34
G06K 9/46
G06K 9/66
G06K 9/68
G06K 9/62
US Classification:

Abstract:
A computer program and apparatus function to extract objects from a video by identifying regions to be tracked, tracking the regions across several frames, calculating motions of the regions, and identifying new regions to be tracked. Regions of a selected frame of the video that are appropriate for tracking are selected. Tracking of the identified regions is then performed across frames subsequent to the selected frame of the video. Motions of the identified regions are calculated, and new regions for tracking are identified.

Video Visual And Audio Query

View page
US Patent:
20120008821, Jan 12, 2012
Filed:
May 10, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/104793
Inventors:
Eitan Sharon - San Mateo CA, US
Asael Moshe - Sunnyvale CA, US
Praveen Srinivasan - San Mateo CA, US
Mehmet Tek - , US
Eran Borenstein - Oakland CA, US
Achi Brandt - San Mateo CA, US
Assignee:
VIDEOSURF, INC - San Mateo CA
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382100
Abstract:
A video visual and audio query system for quickly identifying video within a large known corpus of videos being played on any screen or display. In one embodiment, the system can record via a mobile phone camera and microphone a live video clip from the TV and transcode it into a sequence of frame-signatures. The signatures representative of the clips can then be matched against the signatures of the TV content in a corpus across a network to identify the correct TV show or movie.

Image Abstraction System

US Patent:
20160267326, Sep 15, 2016
Filed:
Mar 10, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/066444
Inventors:
- Tel Aviv, IL
Omer Meir - Tel Aviv, IL
Eitan Sharon - Palo Alto CA, US
Achi Brandt - San Mateo CA, US
Assif Ziv - Bet Yitzhak, IL
Assignee:
FRINGEFY LTD. - Tel Aviv
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
G06K 9/46
G06K 9/62
G06K 9/34
Abstract:
An image abstraction engine is provided to characterize scenes like typically found in an urban setting. Specifically buildings and manmade structures have certain characteristic properties that may be abstracted and compressed in a manner that takes advantage of those characteristic properties. This allows for a more compact and computationally efficient abstraction and recognition.
