| 20210304420 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROTECTING AGAINST ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS - The disclosures are directed to methods and apparatuses that allow for one or more of personal sanitizing/decontamination of a user, prevention of the touching of exposed parts of the user's body, tracking of surface sanitizing/decontamination status, tracking of the interpersonal distance, and sanitization of personal electronics (e.g., a mobile phone). In addition, data relating to a user's usage of the various components of the system may be tracked, and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques may be employed to mine for patterns of user behavior in the system. | 2021-09-30 |
| 20210304421 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VISUALLY TRACKING PERSONS AND IMPUTING DEMOGRAPHIC AND SENTIMENT DATA - A visual tracking system for tracking and identifying persons within a monitored location, comprising a plurality of cameras and a visual processing unit, each camera produces a sequence of video frames depicting one or more of the persons, the visual processing unit is adapted to maintain a coherent track identity for each person across the plurality of cameras using a combination of motion data and visual featurization data, and further determine demographic data and sentiment data using the visual featurization data, the visual tracking system further having a recommendation module adapted to identify a customer need for each person using the sentiment data of the person in addition to context data, and generate an action recommendation for addressing the customer need, the visual tracking system is operably connected to a customer-oriented device configured to perform a customer-oriented action in accordance with the action recommendation. | 2021-09-30 |
| 20210304422 | GENERATION OF NON-OCCLUDED IMAGE BASED ON FUSION OF MULTIPLE OCCULDED IMAGES - A computer-implemented method is for generating a non-occluded image from images that are captured at multiple locations on a plane region parallel to a surface of a target object. Each of the images includes the target object and an occluding object. The images include first and second images. The computer-implemented method includes performing a feature detection on the first image to obtain keypoints in the first image, aligning the first image with a reference image using the obtained keypoints in the first image and keypoints in the reference image, performing the feature detection on the second image to obtain keypoints in the second image, aligning the second image with the reference image using the obtained keypoints in the second image and keypoints in the reference image, and performing a pixel fusion on pixels of the aligned first image and pixels of the aligned second image to generate a fusion image. | 2021-09-30 |
