20150363644 | ACTIVITY RECOGNITION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - An activity recognition system is disclosed. A plurality of temporal features is generated from a digital representation of an observed activity using a feature detection algorithm. An observed activity graph comprising one or more clusters of temporal features generated from the digital representation is established, wherein each one of the one or more clusters of temporal features defines a node of the observed activity graph. At least one contextually relevant scoring technique is selected from similarity scoring techniques for known activity graphs, the at least one contextually relevant scoring technique being associated with activity ingestion metadata that satisfies device context criteria defined based on device contextual attributes of the digital representation, and a similarity activity score is calculated for the observed activity graph as a function of the at least one contextually relevant scoring technique, the similarity activity score being relative to at least one known activity graph. | 12-17-2015 |
20150310306 | ROBUST FEATURE IDENTIFICATION FOR IMAGE-BASED OBJECT RECOGNITION - Techniques are provided that include identifying robust features within a training image. Training features are generated by applying a feature detection algorithm to the training image, each training feature having a training feature location within the training image. At least a portion of the training image is transformed into a transformed image in accordance with a predefined image transformation. Transform features are generated by applying the feature detection algorithm to the transformed image, each transform feature having a transform feature location within the transformed image. The training feature locations of the training features are mapped to corresponding training feature transformed locations within the transformed image in accordance with the predefined image transformation, and a robust feature set is compiled by selecting robust features, wherein each robust feature represents a training feature having a training feature transformed location proximal to a transform feature location of one of the transform features. | 10-29-2015 |
20150254510 | OBJECT RECOGNITION TRAIT ANALYSIS SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A system for analyzing scene traits in an object recognition ingestion ecosystem is presented. In some embodiment, a trait analysis engine analyzes a digital representation of a scene to derive one or more features. The features are compiled into sets of similar features with respect to a feature space. The engine attempts to discover which traits of the scene (e.g., temperature, lighting, gravity, etc.) can be used to distinguish the features for purposes of object recognition. When such distinguishing traits are found, an object recognition database is populated with object information, possibly indexed according to the similar features and their corresponding distinguishing traits. | 09-10-2015 |
20150027918 | Sensor Equipped Medicinal Container - Medicinal container bags are presented. Bags can include openers capable of sealing an opening of the bag. Disclosed bags further comprise electronic assemblies configured to detect opening or closing events as the openers The assemblies can compile usage data based on opener movement, and then provide the data to remote monitoring systems. | 01-29-2015 |
