Object Recognition System

US Patent:
7031499, Apr 18, 2006
Filed:
Jul 22, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/200726
Inventors:
Paul A. Viola - Brookline MA, US
Michael J. Jones - Cambridge MA, US
Assignee:
Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, Inc. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G06K 9/00, G06K 9/62
US Classification:
382118, 382190, 382209
Abstract:
A method recognizes an object in an image. Gallery images include identified objects, and a probe image includes an unidentified object. The probe image is paired with each gallery image to generate pairs of images. First filters are applied to the probe image of each pair to obtain a first feature value for each application of each filter. Second filters are applied to the each gallery image of each pair to obtain a second feature value for each application of each filter. The feature values are summed for each application of each filter, and for each application, a score is set to an acceptance weight if the sum is greater than a predetermined threshold, and otherwise setting the score to a rejection weight. The scores are summed for all of the application, and the probe image is identified with any gallery image when the score is greater than zero.

Image Compression By Pointwise Prototype Correspondence Using Shape And Texture Information

US Patent:
5844573, Dec 1, 1998
Filed:
Aug 2, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/691550
Inventors:
Tomaso Poggio - Wellesley MA
David Beymer - Cambridge MA
Michael Jones - Cambridge MA
Thomas Vetter - Tubingen, DE
Assignee:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G06T 500
US Classification:
345441
Abstract:
An image processing system (100) analyzes novel images in one of three modes. In a first mode, the system learns a model based on vectorized prototype images, and uses the model to characterize the shape of a novel image as a pixel-by-pixel linear combination of the prototype shapes. In a second mode, both shape and texture vectors are used to characterize the novel image as a linear combination of the prototypes. In a third mode, shape information is modeled by a linear combination of prototypes and texture information is modeled by an optical flow, and processing of shape and texture information is interleaved. Novel images are synthesized by analysis of input images using transformed prototypes. Image compression is achieved by storing or transmitting parameter vectors relating the novel or applied images to the prototypes.

Method And System For Object Detection In Digital Images

US Patent:
7099510, Aug 29, 2006
Filed:
Nov 12, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/992795
Inventors:
Michael J. Jones - Cambridge MA, US
Paul Viola - Brookline MA, US
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G06K 9/62
US Classification:
382225, 348142, 348152, 382118, 382159, 382203
Abstract:
An object detection system for detecting instances of an object in a digital image includes an image integrator and an object detector, which includes a classifier (classification function) and image scanner. The image integrator receives an input image and calculates an integral image representation of the input image. The image scanner scans the image in same sized subwindows. The object detector uses a cascade of homogenous classification functions or classifiers to classify the subwindows as to whether each subwindow is likely to contain an instance of the object. Each classifier evaluates one or more features of the object to determine the presence of such features in a subwindow that would indicate the likelihood of an instance of the object in the subwindow.

Detecting Arbitrarily Oriented Objects In Images

US Patent:
7197186, Mar 27, 2007
Filed:
Jun 17, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/463726
Inventors:
Michael J. Jones - Cambridge MA, US
Paul A. Viola - Kirkland WA, US
Assignee:
Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, Inc. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G06K 9/62
US Classification:
382224
Abstract:
A method for detects a specific object in an image. An orientation of an arbitrary object with respect to an image plane is determined and one of a plurality orientation and object specific classifiers is selected according to the orientation. The arbitrary object is classified as a specific object with the selected orientation and object specific classifier.

System And Method For Detecting Objects In Images

US Patent:
7020337, Mar 28, 2006
Filed:
Jul 22, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/200464
Inventors:
Paul A. Viola - Brookline MA, US
Michael J. Jones - Cambridge MA, US
Assignee:
Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, Inc. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G06K 9/62, G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382224, 382118, 382190, 382195, 706 20
Abstract:
A method detects an object, such a face, in an image. The image is first partitioned into patches of various sizes using either an integral image or a Gaussian pyramid. Features in each patch are evaluated to determine a cumulative score. The evaluating is repeated while the cumulative score is within a range of an acceptance threshold and a rejection threshold, and otherwise the image is rejected when the accumulated score is less than the rejection threshold and accepted as including the object when the cumulative score is greater than the acceptance threshold.

Detecting Pedestrians Using Patterns Of Motion And Appearance In Videos

US Patent:
7212651, May 1, 2007
Filed:
Jun 17, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/463800
Inventors:
Paul A. Viola - Kirkland WA, US
Michael J. Jones - Cambridge MA, US
Assignee:
Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, Inc. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382103
Abstract:
A method detects a moving object in a temporal sequence of images. Images are selected from the temporally ordered sequence of images. A set of functions is applied to the selected images to generate a set of combined images. A linear combination of filters is applied to a detection window in the set of combined images to determine motion and appearance features of the detection window. The motion and appearance features are summed to determine a cumulative score, which enables a classification of the detection window as including the moving object.
