US Patent:
6545706, Apr 8, 2003
Filed:
Jul 30, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/364859
Inventors:

Katerina H. Nguyen - Palo Alto CA
Assignee:
Electric Planet, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
H04N 718
US Classification:
348169, 348170, 348 20
Abstract:
A system, method and article of manufacture are provided for tracking a head portion of a person image in video images. Upon receiving video images, a first head tracking operation is executed for generating a first confidence value. Such first confidence value is representative of a confidence that a head portion of a person image in the video images is correctly located. Also executed is a second head tracking operation for generating a second confidence value representative of a confidence that the head portion of the person image in the video images is correctly located. The first confidence value and the second confidence value are then outputted. Subsequently, the depiction of the head portion of the person image in the video images is based on the first confidence value and the second confidence value.

US Patent:
6489989, Dec 3, 2002
Filed:
Sep 15, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/397496
Inventors:

Assignee:
Electric Planet, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
H04N 1700
US Classification:
348180, 348187
Abstract:
A system, method and article of manufacture are provided for executing a setup protocol. A camera and a visual display device are coupled to a computer. Images are generated by the camera upon activation of the camera. A series of setup tests are then conducted on the images generated by the camera to determine whether the camera and surrounding environmental elements satisfy predetermined criteria of an intended computer vision application for optimal running of the intended computer vision application on the computer. The series of setup tests comprises at least one setup test selected from a library of setup tests.
